Challenging We thought Finding Nemo would be easy, but it was a little bit challenging, which made it all the better.
Great Game But Level 13 Is Way To Hard! Help Anyone? Ok, as my game is paused right now, I was stuck for the longest time on Finding Nemo (Xbox) level 12 where I had to do the Jellyfish race to beat Dory. That took me almost a year as I took very long breaks. Now I'm doing the same thing, I don't know if I'll beat level 13. Basically, there are 26 snails shells that I have to jump on top of and make sure all 26 are all down in the dirt while I only have a minimum of 12-17 seconds which I read alot of walk-through and alot of people where stuck on this level too. It seems that one jump for all 26 is all you can do, and I can't seem to do even one jump, in fact I keep doing 3 or sometimes 5 jumps at a time, I can't seem to get just one jump. I'm starting to loose all hope on beating the game or just this level in particular which is level 13 part 2!! If anybody has any useful hints or ideas, please tell me, because I'm about to give up for another year or so until I get help.
Nice graphics & sound, but way too hard for anyone. We bought this for our 5 year old son, the whiz of the Xbox. He's beat many many games - even more so than his dad or I. But this one was one of those games that none of us in the family could get past. There's something about how you move or swim that just wasn't set up right to where you knew where you were going. We very rarely ever get this game out - except to dust.
The reviews are correct The online reviews for this game all stated that it was way too hard, especially the 6th level. However they also said it had great graphics and a story that followed the movie. I figured I was a decent gamer and could probably get us through whatever they put into a Disney game. I was thinking that maybe the parents reviewing the game were probably not experienced gamers and that's why they had trouble helping the kids out. My son loves Finding Nemo so we picked the game up.
Well the reviewers were right on all counts.
The graphics are great, it gives a nice underwater feel and the characters look just like they do in the movie. The voice acting sounds as if the entire cast of the movie did the voices for the game.
The gameplay is simple as you would expect for a kid's game. Most of the tasks are swimming around either following someone or picking up certain items. You can also bump certain things like special bubbles into enemies to stun them. The controls are a little sloppy but they're fine for this.
The fun all came to a halt when we hit level 6. It started out as a follow mission where you have to follow Bruce the shark through a minefield. If you fall behind too much you fail the mission. There are giant squids taking swipes at you plus an extreme current that throws you sideways. It took about 10 tries before I made it.
But, we had completed the impossible 6th level! Hadn't we? Nope, there was part 2...
Part 2 is a set of 72 mines laid out in a pattern. You have to bounce Dori on each of the 72 mines, without bouncing on one mine more than 3 times. Only about 4-6 rows are in your field of view so you can't plan a route. Dori doesn't stop bouncing so if you pause for a second, she's bounced 3 times on that mine and mission failed. It is impossible.
How did they think anyone, much less the game's target audience of kids could finish this level? Did anyone actually play test this level?
Without this level I would've rated the game at 4 stars.
Beautiful designs but just toooo hard! Ok I admit I dont have much time on my hands sometimes and I can spend a couple hours lost in a game, but this one just got to me. Part way thru I pretty much just gave up in frustration and turned the whole thing off. Yes, the graphics are amazing but it's just too hard for anyone to play. I suggest racing games or Shrek 2..That's a fun game!
