DS #3116: The Tale of Despereaux (USA)

[OneOfTheSame]

NOTE THERE IS NO "S" IN THE END.

I lol'd because I found if there was any upcoming "Tales Of ______" for the PS3 and this game show up.

 

[JPH]

I read the book in the 6th grade lol

it looks surprisingly fun (gamespot gave it a 7.8)

 

[GameSoul]

It looks like an awesome platformer for a movie game. I will play this and PoP.

Gamespot didn't give it that score. Users did. Gamespot has not reviewed it and probably won't at all. They usually neglect the DS.

omg lolz a new tales game for north america?!!11! wicked lolz!!!11!! finally!1!1!!

But seriously, this game is a generic platformer, play it if you have nothing else and you like platformers.

this game looks
okay, the graphics aren't too bad, don't know about the gameplay

 

[iPikachu]

I don't see THQ slapped on it anywhere, that must mean it's not that bad?

Yeah, `cause Lock's Quest, AoE: Mythologies, de Blob, Drawn to Life -- those were all terrible games.

Anyway, could be good, but likely only drought fodder. But heck, another 3D platformer...has to be worth at least a look.

lock's quest isnt

He's being sarcastic, since those games he mentioned WERE good... and published by THQ. Thereby refuting the original poster's point.

 

[Ruri]

Not really. THQ is still infamous for cranking out really, really bad license games. I suspect that the 'good' games are made by a different part of their team than the people who make the bad ones (and, to be fair -- I'll bet they make more money on the license games, which pays for their good ones.)

Or it could be them just having one person quickly reskin a game to fit the licenses, and saving most of their effort for games they care about.

the last time I saw THQ on a good game....I can't remember tbh

And what dare I ask is this? Any screens?

Oh, apparently this is a movie game. Great. I almost looked twice at this too. It's got that girl who does Hermione in Harry Potter. My crappy game senses are tingling.

This has emma watson in it? Shes incredibly hot. I would totally tap her in a heartbeat.
Shes like my only celebrity crush.

Not a bad game and an incentive to replay and collect all the music notes, with the added bonus levels.

Probably one of the better movies to games - when is the movie out?

OMGWTFLOLFGE!!!!!!!!

 

[GeekyGuy]

Only played through a bit of it so far, but it's pretty decent. Sure is a pretty game, though. The backgrounds are really impressive. Someone put some love into designing this game.

Which company made/produced this game?

Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group (UPDPG) announced today the creation of a handheld video game for the Nintendo DS? based on Universal Pictures' upcoming animated-adventure feature film, The Tale of Despereaux. The game is being developed by Fizz Factor, a Foundation 9 Studio, in conjunction with UPDPG and will be published worldwide by Brash Entertainment.

I enjoyed this more than I expected.
