Summary: Great Gift
Review: Bought this for my kindergartner who produced excellent marks in her first six weeks of school. She has not stopped playing the game since we installed it. Good product.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Maybe for younger kids?
Review: Great movie!! Average game. I bought this game for my 8-yr old daughter because she just loved the movie, and I thought she can extend that enjoyment with this pc game. One hour later, she had finished the game! It was too short! I read the manual book just to make sure we didn't miss any other levels of play, but no. It was over. It's a good product with great cut scenes from the movie, but I think the 4 to 6 year olds would be better suited for this software.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: terrible
Review: I bought the finding nemo software for my daughter today and I sincerely regret it. It is one of the worst games I have ever purchased. The games dont work. You get nowhere. I would advise everyone considering this game to just save your money. My daughter was excited to get it until we installed it and tryed playing it only to find out it is a lemon.

Summary: My Kid loves NEMO!
Review: I bought this for my daughter. She is 4.5 yrs old and I needed to get her some updated software. She sat down in front of the computer and played for several hours!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terrible
Review: I can't believe how bad this video game was. The makers clearly put minimal thought into making it and just wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the movie. The whole game can be finished in one sitting by a four year old. I played with my nephew and kept hoping that it would get better, but it doesn't. The games are all too easy and not that interesting.

Don't waste your money on this one!

Summary: Can't rate what you can't play!
Review: I got this game with the DVD. I have tried repeatedly to get this to install and play for my 5 yo grandson. It installs OK, even tho it keeps telling me I need to install it's DirectX, when I already have a better version on my computer. After installing, clicking the shortcut gets an error message, so it won't boot up. I have had NO help from Disney CDrom support page. I emailed their customer service, but have received no reply. I tried each and every one of their troubleshooting tips, to no avail. So my grandson is disappointed, and I can only say I'm really glad I didn't buy the game. My computer isn't top-of-the-line state-of-the-art, but it's no slouch, either. I have no trouble getting other games to play on here.

Summary: Very cute
Review: I just loved the movie, so naturally I bought the game. My sis and I have had these little, ummm...."problems" with games for kids 4+. We can't win them!! The older kid's games are easier. But that's what makes this game fun. I still can't win the "Surfin' With Crush" level though. "Nemo's Underwater World of Fun" actually has a story to it. Nemo wants to prove to his dad that he can move around just as well as any other fish. So Marlin sets up a "Super Swim Challenge" game, that will test Nemo's swimming skills. It goes from there in that you have to help Nemo win a certain number of "trophies" in each game in order to get up to level 5 in the Super Swim Challenge. After that, you can help Nemo prove to Marlin how good a swimmer he is. I love the games you can play. "Dory's Memory Match", "Surfin' With Crush", and "Tank Gang Sing-alongs" are just a few. Hope you have fun playing! I'm sure the kids will.

Summary: Not what I imagined
Review: I know this game asks for the child to be age 4+, but even that age group will find this game difficult. My husband and I tried to help my son (age 3) with this game, and although my husband enjoyed parts of it, my son was very frustrated. The directions were confusing, even for us, and to acheive the purpose of the games was extremely difficult, and were not at all as educational as I thought they would have been. In addition, they were not that much fun either. I prefer Reader Rabbit for educational purposes and entertainment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must for children 4-6 who play educational PC games
Review: I recommend this title to any children aged four to six, gifted children age three, and children aged seven and eight who need a quick fix of Nemo! The graphics and voices are the best in educational software today. The entertainment value apart from graphics and voices are above average with seven different games. Activity target skills include traditional hand-eye coordination and memory work with sequencing, recall, and matching. My four-year-old daughter loves it and she regularly plays about 30 current educational software titles for her age range.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SO Unbelievably Good!!
Review: I saw "Finding Nemo" twice in theaters and just decided that it is officially my favorite movie. With most movies, you should probably avoid wasting your time and money on disappointing games and books, etc., and just see the movie. But to get the full "Finding Nemo" experience, you NEED to play this game and read the "Essential Guide" from Dorling-Kindersley. You actually WILL find out things you won't get from the movie.

I saw two "Nemo" games on the shelf when I bought this, and one said "Ages 4+." Being 16, I said, "No way. Too young." Then I saw this. No age limit. Rated "E" for everyone. And made by THQ, same brand as my previous "Spongebob Squarepants" PC game that I love so much. So, I purchased it. This game is so utterly adorable that no matter what age you are, you're guaranteed to love it! The game shows you a very large portion of the film itself in high-quality clips, and the graphics are excellent. The voices sound like the characters, the lines are true to the movie's script, and the game takes you through the entire plot.

These games are many and moderately challenging. You can't just sit there bored and make it through them in 20 minutes, but they are not long, dull, difficult, time-consuming, frustrating, mind-numbing, boring games either. They achieve the perfect 'game balance.' The game is not hard to figure out; it begins the story quickly and moves right on through, never leaving you confused as to where to go.

The games themselves are alot of fun. And there are quite a few of them. The very best part of the game is guiding Nemo around the tank, picking up Friendship Totems from all the fish and helping them out in minigames! It is truly, insanely cute. You get to meet everyone and interact. The characters are very funny, and like I said, the graphics are so mind-blowingly good that it looks just like the movie. Some of the best games are the Tiki Head game, the Jellyfish game with Dory & Marlin, the Anglerfish game, Catch the Bubbles & the Filter game.

Everywhere you go there are things to do! It's such a fun game, you'll play it over & over. I highly recommend this as a supplement to seeing "Finding Nemo!"
