Fun game, Great story January 7, 2009
Being more of a reader than a gamer, I enjoy the story element to this game. My four-year-old is not coordinated enough to play it well, but he likes to swordfight the bees and spiders. Overall the action may be a little slow for more experienced gamers, but I enjoy it. There seem to be a few flaws as I think they set it up to require you to die a certain number of times before being able to conquer some of the elements, but maybe that is just me. My love of the book allows me to overlook the flaws.
