There is NO cooperative play

This is not a full review of this movie-based game. I bought it today in order to play along with my son, who enjoyed the books and movie. The box advertises that the game is for 1-2 players, and specifically says that there is cooperative play for 2 players.

This is not true; according to what I've read in the manual, and from reviews elsewhere, the *only* multiplayer component in the game is a competitive "catch the most sprites" minigame that is unlocked as you complete the various levels. I don't want to be a stickler, but "cooperative" is not the same thing as "competitive," and to my mind, when a game advertises itself as having cooperative play, that means that you can play through the story with a friend.

My son seems to be enjoying the game so far, though from what I've seen I doubt it will last. The game isn't particularly good looking visually, and there doesn't seem to be much going on. Though I should point out that I've only seen the first couple of levels/chapters.

My "starred" review is based on the clearly false statement on the box re: cooperative play, and as I said is not intended as a review of the game as a whole.

Better then you think

Don't let the title fool you, this is a perfect game for someone 13-17. Even mom and dad can enjoy this one.
