Expensive companion game is tamer than the movie.

Is It Any Good?
This game is a romp for movie fans, but even they might want to think twice before parting with seven bucks to add this one to their action collection. The still backgrounds and avatars are smashing, and the 3D animation is fairly fluid, especially in the opening chapter. But the quality goes a bit downhill after that. The bioluminescent jungle looks half finished in places, and interactions with the animals are disappointing. Still, it's fun to make the tall blue humanoid run, jump, and explore.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
