Customer Reviews

Nothing like the film, but fun nonetheless!
I bought this because I liked the film, and play a lot of DS games. You have to get all the penguins from the water to various places, using a selection of things to help you, like bridges to get over chasms, bouncy things to get onto ledges etc. You do have about 50 penguins though, and while you are working out how to get past the next obstacle, the ones that have passed where you are, turn around and go back to the water, getting in the way of the bits you are trying to place for the others!
I can see it would become addictive to try to get further, but I got fed up because I wasn't allowed to use the "bit" I thought was needed to overcome an obstacle, and no matter what I tried, I couldn't get past it.
I seem to remember another game very similar to this, although not using penguins, from the Megadrive era, so if you like scrolling types of games, and can think far far ahead, you'd like this!
The only reason it didn't get 5 stars, is because I was expecting something more like the film, but as a game on its own, you won't want to put it down! (I'll just have ONE more go to do it, and that turns into another hour at it!!)
