Great graphics and NO waiting for "loading" times

This game is awesome. I bought it about a week ago, despite the reviews. Well, the reviews were WRONG. The loading time is, if any, 5 seconds. It can be a bit difficult at times, too. Oh, plus, it is mainly a game, NOT the movie, as a few people had said. It's more playing the game than watching the clips from the movie. If you are a fan of Nemo, or underwater games, buy this.

this is a good game no matter what any body else says.

I know the game takes a long time to load, but besides that this is a very cool game. I got it for Christmas this year and i beat the game the second day i had it.It is a little hard at first but I got the hang of it after a while. And im only 11 years old. so overall i think you should get the game.

This game is terrible! My son purchased this game with his own money and was in tears when he realized what a "rip-off" it was. If you have seen the movie, you have seen the game. Basically, you watch the movie, and every few minutes the movie breaks so you can play a game. The problem arises during the 'loading' time. During the load time, all that is on screen is Nemo swimming on a black screen. We were so frustrated we timed the loading. It took a minimum of 2 minutes to load- the actual game only took 1 minute to play!!
I emailed the company (THQ) and they told me to exchange it. I brought it back to "Toys R Us" and they did exchange it. The second game was just as bad! I went back to Toys R Us and returned that one and explained the problem. I don't think they believed me, so they put the disc in the Gamecube they had at the store. When the saw how long it loaded they gave me a refund.
Final word. If you have patient children, they will love it. If you have normal children, they will hate it!

Finding Nemo is a great game!

The game is based on the movie (Of course). The game is fun and is one of the best games I've played. The graphics and animation are just like the movie, and are almost as good. In the Nintendo GameCube version here, the framerate can drop a good bit in some levels, though nearly all the levels have no slowdown or very rarely slows down. The game is also available on PS2 and Xbox (As well as PC and GameBoy Advance). However, the Nintendo GameCube versions graphics are cleaner and less jaggy than the PS2 version thanks to the GameCube's 202.5 MHZ graphics processor and Anti-Aliasing (PS2 graphics processor is a weak 150 MHZ). But the XBox version has the cleanest graphics out of all the versions thanks to it's 250 MHZ graphics processor. You'll notice a good bit that if you compare the graphics in the PS2 and XBox version, the graphics in the XBox version are better. But if you compare the GameCube version and XBox version, you'll notice that both are almost 100% identical and will see almost know difference what so ever. But, the XBox version still has the cleanest. There are over 15 levels in the game. As you progress through the game, you will be able to play some Bonus Games which include Puzzle Solving, Simon Says and more. There is also Bonus Artwork from the movie! You can also play the Trailer for the Movie (Preview of the movie)! And, there are also many scenes from the movie itself! Since the PS2 and XBox use DVD's, it is guarenteed that the scenes from the movie in those versions have DVD quality pictures. What does that mean? The GameCube version has VHS quality pictures? No! The GameCube version has the exact same picture quality and sound for the scenes from the movie as the PS2 and XBox versions. The only real disadvantage about Finding Nemo, is that the Load times are SLOW! It usually takes about 30-40 seconds to load the levels, but sometimes it even takes a minute and a half! That's just not good at all. I mean, GameCube can have loading times as fast as 2 seconds! This can't be seen in Finding Nemo. Oh well. Finding Nemo is fun, has realistic 3-D graphics, smooth animation, good sound and I highly recommend it (The GameCube version)!

This game is ok but it takes entirely too long to load. When you first turn it on it has to load for about 1-2 minutes literaly, then it starts out with Nemo waking his dad, like in the movie, to go to school then, it has to load again for about 1-2 minutes. Then, you make it to school and it stops to load a third time!

It doesn't hold my children's interest(6 and 4)and I think getting to school is the furthest that they've made it and they end up turning it off. My opinion is a strong "don't waste your money!" Rent it first and then make your decision!

Don't act like me: read this review first.

After watching the beautiful movie, I had no doubt on clicking and buying this game, yet without checking opinions about it. So let's imagine THQ staff chating at the office, the guys with feet over the table, and the director tells: come on, we have to deliver this game until next weekend! And they just had the work of copying movie scenes and making a no concept, with terrible gameplay title. Last, and most important argument of all to hold you far from this game: the bigest challenge is to exercise your pacience with the HUGE loading time. It takes about 4 minutes (an eternity if you look at an ugly clownfish swinging at screen) to load a new level. You don't have clear goals to achieve, you feel like beeing pushed to the end of each stage. People of Pixar and Disney must be ashamed. It takes an unbeliavable distance beetwen the movie and the game. If you are not trainig your patience to be next Dalai Lama, trust this cheated player.

Finding Nemo is a very fun game because it is just like the movie. You get to do all the things that are in the movie and the graphics are very cool.

Recent Gift worth purchasing

Finding Nemo the movie was so good and most people would think the video game is awesome based on the reviews of the movie. That's were the mistake was. My friend bought this game and it was so good in the middle and end. The begining was a bit boring for me. Everything was going fine until the loading started and I'm a patient person most of the time. All because it kept on going way to long. This would be the top ten video games on my list if the loading took less than a minute.

Ready to throw it out

As much as I loved the movie, and as much as my daughter and I really enjoy the game, the loading time is absolutely killing it for us! Having to wait for 5 minutes every time you advance to the next level is incredibly irritating and really takes away from the appeal of the whole game. That and the 10 minute intro of all the different companies involved in making this game are enough to make me pass over it in favor of a different game.
