Summary: WARNING: BIG EYE STRAIN!
Review: I think the Finding Nemo Game has some good points: 1) superior graphics, 2) fun educational games that teach visual memory identification, pre-geometrical strategies and hand-eye coordination. BUT, the "Swim Challenge Game" is a huge eye strain! It cannot be stressed enough that this portion of the game NEEDS to be redesigned! Having the background moving constantly is extremely tiring, not to mention painful to ones' eyes!

Review: I'm 17 years old and i can't get past the swimming with turtles! I don't understand the game! It didn't come with instructions and do you have to get to level 11 to pass the turtle swim?! I have the game that came with the dvd. Otherwise this game is alright if i could just beat it! or atleast play sumtin else than turtle swim! :D

Summary: Nemo's Underwater ----Special Edition
Review: If you play the game that comes with the DVD, keep in mind it is only a DEMO version, with access to only two sections: the EAC and the Tank Gang. There is nothing on the paper sleeve or in the readme.txt to indicate this, I thought we had a defective disc until I visited Disney's cdrom support online. ahh well, at least it was free.

Summary: If you own Freddy Fish software, don't buy this.
Review: It is very similar to it, as if format copied. My 7 year old daughter likes, my 4 yeard old son got it for birthday, we had it on our wish list, but he's struggling with it. The voice does sound like the original characters like Ellen DeGeneres.

Review: Loved the movie, and thought that it might be a way for our three year old girl to get more comfortable with using the computer. She was excited too but was bored with it in an hour. The games are simplistic and in some cases poor renderings of things we've seen before, and it is only the fact that the GUI is wearying that they're any challenge. The stones game is the same as things we play with cards. The shark game is just pinball and it is difficult to control. The turtles game is funny but doesn't go anywhere. Daughter had no interest in the school-of-fish game. And even after working on it for a while, my best conclusion is that the music composition game is simply buggy.

Summary: Finding Nemo is good
Review: My 3-1/2 year old son loves this and can run several of the games independently. It sometimes makes him laugh hysterically.

I have some pretty strong biases. I think most educational toys are oxymorons. I think a 3-1/2 year old should be having fun, not building a resume. I figure K-12 will provide plenty of opportunities for structured learning.

This is a great purchase if you want your child to enjoy time with a computer and get some basic mouse skills. The only draw back is that you may have to adjust your mouse settings with respect to left/right click recognition (some other software for the younger set handles this internally).

Summary: It's only a demo that comes with the DVD
Review: My 5 year old son was more excited about the game rather than the actual movie, however once we got it home and loaded I was greatly dissappointed. We were able to conquer the first adventure and then were not able to find any others. We searched and searched and even restarted the game many times. Finally, after an hour of trying to figure out what was wrong, I went to the website to find, to our dissappointmen, that it is only a cheap little demo. It seems like it would be a great game but Disney definitely should have stated that it is only a DEMO.

Summary: Kids aged 5 - 7 will excel playing this game
Review: My four-year-old daughter found this game a bit difficult and needed my assistance in solving some puzzles and generally maintaining forward progress to the gamefs conclusion. After she completed it, however, she played it several more times on her own. It makes her laugh and laugh and laugh because there are a variety of funny situations for young children. There are also funny situations for adults that probably go over her head every time she sees them. This game is probably best for children aged five to seven. Itfs graphics and voices are the best available today and the problem solving skills rival Freddie Fish Quality.

Review: My husband came home with the Finding Nemo Viedo that he got our son as a gift it had the Pc game Finding Nemo underwater adventure. It didnt tell us that this was a Demo game. My son can only play the race game with crush and listen to the tang gang sang songs. We thought we were getting the hole game the two games he can play are fun but he gets bored really easy. If the company wishes to give away free pc games on the viedo's in the furture please let people know its a demo or give them the hole game. I wish that the game was the whole game since its not I wish I could take it back.

Summary: Cutest game I have seen so far.
Review: My kids loved it. We haven't played it much, but whatever I have seen, this game impresses me a lot. Graphics are very crisp. There are movie clips that you get to see when you accomplish some task. Games are standard, but educational.

The main fish interacts with the children. The voice is naughty and childish, which attracts children. My three year old doubled up with laughter when the turtle bounced around in a game to capture mother of pearls.

A great buy indeed.
