Wall:E for the Wii
Wall:E is the latest ‘kid’s’ movie from Disney Pixar.? The plot, from what I’ve gleaned from the game seems to be: The world has been gripped by consumerism which has resulted in it looking like a rubbish dump.? Wall:E a kind of rubbish crunching and sorting machine has been sent to Earth to sort out the mess.? The aim of the game is to move through the levels and save the world, i believe there’s also a little romance later on.
Unfortunately we didn’t get to ‘later on’.? Wall:E is a platform game, for those not in the know, it’s the kind of game where you move through the game via levels a bit like Sonic or Alex the Kid (showing my age).? Once upon a fifteen years ago I was OK at these type of games, not now, I suffered from extreme lack of patience and as would become obvious, problem-solving skills.? I gave up during the first level, yes, the FIRST level when I couldn’t figure out how to get up on a ramp…
Alex took over, which gave me a chance to see the game ‘from a distance’.?? It’s a decent game, challenging and fun with a good background story (it’s whetted my appetite for the movie).? The graphics are amazing, unlike the cockroach which is just plain irritating.
Thanks to Hill and Knowlton for sending me a copy to test out.? I’d recommend this game for 7-10 year olds.? In fact we are going to give our copy to a friend’s son who is seven, he’ll definitely give it a more rigorous testing than us!
We went to see Wall:e this weekend. It was a lot more fun than I anticipated. You’ve got the plot pretty much down with a few more twists and turns I won’t spoil for you.
Both boys are Wall:e mad now thankfully this game is for the older ones
Hey Melitsa, What age did you start taking your kids to the movies? I can’t wait to take Erin
Hi
I think it was about 3 for the oldest. The youngest had to tag along last year and we went at nap time so he slept. This year at 2.5 he loved Wall:e don’t know if I would take him to many others. These were special occasions for the boys.
Wow, I thought it would be older, do they sit fine, or do they lose interest. I’d love to take Erin but I worry she might get fidgety and want to leave.
Hi Melitsa. How do I contact you directly? Your contact page has no email or email form. If possible, please email me with your email address. Thank you!
Oh! Excuse me, my previous message isn’t for Melitsa, it’s for Erica the blog owner. Sorry about that.
