Mov2VidGame Review -- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (PC)

[TheSupercaitlin1]

i used to have this game and to me the game is hard. but i loved it.

[anax445]

i dont remember willys father at the end

[heartofmusic27]

@anax445 In the Movie, Willy's Father was a dentist and did'nt want Willy to have a career in Candy making. Willy gets that career anyway and his father disowns him for it. Charlie helps Willy and his father make up and have a relationship again.

For some reason, that is not in this game version.

[xxmightyonexx]

The book: Square Candies That Look Round. Ya know, the ORIGINAL by Roald Dahl. It stands to reason that if they couldn't get Depp, they also weren't able to get someone like Elfman (for music).

Perhaps since it's a CHILDREN'S film, the game was designed to be easy. As a fan of ALL the creations (even the candy), I like the designs a lot. btw, you're expecting something done by Willy Wonka to make complete sense? ;p

Nuts, I was hoping you'd show that elevator scene.

@Movies2GamesReviews the ps2 u need to do

[superaaronreview98]

good review

[TheOneTrimmer]

Funny review, and yeah, it's an awful game. I sadly got subjected to the bloody thing. The game is over so quickly it's unbelievable, I finished it in the duration of eating a bowl of cereal.

[Somuchbetter123]

Starts it on 3:00

[superaaronreview98]

why did you hate the game

[superaaronreview98]

why did you think you hate the game

[deathroman13]

lol that's really a bad game of a great movie

[ToxicTurquoise454]

Holy cow. I knew it would be bad, but not bad. That shocked me. A monstrous insult to one of Tim Burton's greatest achievements.

[TaylorKazarian]

It probably would've been worse if this game was on the DS. The DS version would've probably been the same stuff as this.

[timbertime09]

THUMBS UP FOR DEEP ROY

[LAKSDJFLASKJF]

HEY GAME REVIEWER..ITS NOT A REMAKE..god the original is boring and dull..good songs though

[TaylorKazarian]

@LAKSDJFLASKJF

Yes it is a remake from the first movie that came out in the 70's. Gene Wilder played Wonka in that version. And this movie and the 70's movie were both based on the book.

[Kriki232]

i would give it a 0.1

very very very bad

[kyledraws]

There were most definately licakble wallpaper and square candies that look round in the actual book and in the first movie. YOU ARE WRONG SIR!!

[striker12111]

I though at the end of the movie

the kid has to stay with the factory

and not allow any of his relatives stay in the factory

thats what Mr. wonka said

can anybody answere this

[KID5500]

@striker12111 in tha book he lets the family stay go to the factory

[mariolinker]

even worse than the conduit

[cgsilverscreen2020]

wait--willy wonka was played by JAMES TAYLOR?

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-­--

[bmxrider13]

omg....willy wonkas dad in this movie is count dooku O.O

[fluffysbro]

Dosent that same guy play Saroman (sorry, I dont know the exact spelling!) in the Lord of the Rings films?

[moon8134]

the tube level looks fun :3

[ZikkaChan]

The PS2 vesion beats all versions

[spongefan1222]

violet's hairdo in the game looks like a sims2 hair download i have :)

[elliotttasha]

the people from the movie, they look really messed up in the game!!!

[YearOfTheBandicoot]

Thank fuck i never bought this

[ELASTICAMAN]

the potential of charlie and the chocolate factory was unlimited. so why they made such a shit dull game is beyond me

[Vivien71]

I don't trust reviews. You NEVER like anything, Everybody always have to complaint about everything in life.

[Pwnisher248]

the cubes with eyes are from the book. they are called "square candies that look round" (with round being short for around).

[molemanninethousand]

Yeah, I was gonna say that. But you can't really blame him for forgetting that. After all, that chapter had absolutely NO relevance to ANYTHING and could have been removed from the book entirely.

[uruseiranma]

I played both the console version (PS2 and Gamecube) and the GameBoy Advance versions.

Both seemed pretty good, though the GBA version was a bit easier to complete.

I'm still going through the end of the 'rescue Veruca Salt' level on the GC game.

Nice to see this review. I was wondering if the PC version was worth it or not. The animation really looks stiff. Plus, the mini-game format really looks lame.

[Kitsunade1]

Never Mind, My mistake.

[Kitsunade1]

It IS Johnny Depp!

[CrimsonOkami]

No, it's James Arnold Taylor.

[D12200908]

They didn't even get Johnny Depp

[ono69]

Wow! You taught me a lesson: This game is downright dull and dissappointing!

[kyon813]

Well, that explains the TV room.

[Arwingpilot]

Willy Wonka was played by James Taylor here in the game?!

[andrei784]

i like the old one nd the new one

[ronjoe17]

Living up to it's hype? that movie SUCKED! Watch the old version "willy wonka & the choco. factory", it's way better.

[robotwarsfan03]

how? the songs were more original and was better adapted to the book!

[thatguywiththecodes]

good point.

both movies are good, although in the new version i didn't care for the ending.

[robotwarsfan03]

good point as well but i still liked the ending of the new book...it has to have some things not there otherwise it's jsut what u've already read about and that can be pretty boring

[DarkLinkNA16]

Good movie. Crappy game. Not a huge surprise.

[youwilldie12]

i hate i got the game and i hated it god dont get it dont

[danieldude19]

ok the square candies are in the book its the name of a chapter square candies that look round

[dramaguy1013]

The square candies that look round were in the book. I promise. Read it again.

[Nezzomic]

I can't get past the Mike Tevee level.

[LivingIn1969]

noob

[Isarru69067]

DID U BUY THIS OR DOWNLAOD IT

[Vernydog92]

The PC game was indeed horrible and it took up so much memory on my computer...ugh couldn't they pull something better out of their arss...the Game Cube and PS2 game had better music and it made more sense compared to the movie but they could have done so much more. It is agreed.

[Anotherworldofdust]

Its looks reely babyish

[13percentDEPP]

Well, duh the pc game's gonna suck! PC games have become nowhere near as fun as anything without a joystick. (No offense to any over-sensitive computers out there, but I'm just telling the truth.) I haven't played the actual game for ps2, or x-box or anything, but it looks more fun. Also pretty weird, but fun.

[edzoologist]

It's easy but fun. I mean it is like really easy with no threatning enemies until Mike Teevee stage. That is another thing, they gave Augustus four levels, Violet two levels, Veruca three levels, and Mike only one level plus the two outdoor levels.  But the wweapons are pretty fun to use and some of them are from the first movie like fizzy lifting drink.

[MrxWonkasxWife]

i don't like the charlie and the chocolate factory pc....it's really boring!!

[XChapal]

you speak like an idiot

[tamatamaetamago]

Takes one to know one

[towlierocks]

there is actually a demo of this on the second disc of the dvd. its a dvd rom. i hated it. great review man!

[Newsfop]

Have you tried the Gamecube version? It's different and sort of like the gameplay in Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt, only it's much much easier to complete.

[nodumbblond]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO GAME!

[imthegrinch]

could you upload the violet blueberry part?

[77JJT12JAMES77]

lol hard lollipops

[chriscollier99]

what fuk you talking about?

[tyranitar007]

luckily i have the gamecube version of this ph my god this looks so bad. another great review Movies2GamesReviews!

[GameSheriff]

Wow... the videogame based on CHARLIE AND THE FUCKING CHOCOLATE FACTORY sucks! Whatta big fucking surprise!!!

[marsmonster12345]

OMG! this game looks sucky play Halo 3

[Movies2GamesReviews]

True enough on all points. I bow to both of you then and admit its not by those standards. I wish I could edit the video but I can't :/. But you both convinced me and I stand corrected. But I do enjoy the Willy Wonka Gene Wilder movie a lot either way :) .

[superaaronreview98]

@Movies2GamesReviews WHY THE GAME IS SO BAD

[BroadwayBoy2007]

uhm...Tim burton's version of this was a completely new movie...NOT a remake

[smiti07]

Uh, same plot as the original, BroadwayBoy!

[QAJenova]

nice review, my friend's class is researching on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. By the way, those square candies are only related to the book, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by James Dahl. See, the pun to the whole candy thing was that Willy Wonka said they were square candies that looked 'round, as in around. But it has no point whatsoever like a filler chapter.

[mattfanv1]

wow good job

[norumeron]

Johnny Depp == good.... game == bad... That just hurts. You'd think with a blockbuster of a game they could've spent more time developing a more enjoyable user/player experience especially for kids or anyone. Well I am glad to see a review vs ever playing it myself... which of course I won't be doing... EVER.

[Xifihas]

Holy crap, this is bad even for a movie game. Dont even download it.

[webjunkpoop]

That was a great movie that turned into a really bad game! Still, Johnny Depp ruled that movie!

[nathanpitones]

I knew the game was going to be boring.
