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

Movies To Video Games Reviews
Review #10

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the Personal Computer (PC) is fully reviewed and analyzed as compared to the actual movie itself.

Feel free to comment. More movies to video games reviews coming soon.. suggestions and feedback welcome and encouraged.

In the means of saving space the score tallies used to get to the final score are listed here instead of in the review itself.They are on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the best score possible:

Story Accuracy to the Movie 3.5
(Has flavors of the movie at points. Some of the cutscenes will have moments and comments from the movie and the voices of the characters are from the movie as well. But the game takes too many liberties on the story doing things that just didn't happen and adding moments that just werne't in the movie or book.)

Music Soundtrack Accuracy to the Movie's 1.0
(None of the songs were from the movie and what's worse is they don't even sound like something that you would have found in the movie. Most of the times you will hear soundtracks in games that at least try to sound right. This game didn't even try that.)

Game Difficulty 2.0
(There is really only one hard stage in the whole game and even that is easy to beat after awhile. The rest of the game is simple and a joke even for kids. The whole game can be completed in an hour or two.)

Overall Fun 2.0
(It may be fun the first time through. After that though it is a game you probably won't be picking up again ever. With only 10 levels and just simple mini games there isn't much fun to be had. Clicking a mouse here and there a few times is as dull as it sounds.)

Final Score: 1.75
Very Bad

Good movie. Crappy game. Not a huge surprise.

Am I the only one who thinks the original film from 1971 is better? I hated the new movie and the game.

@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.

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.

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.
