Game review: Wall-E

Whilst charming for kids, grown-ups will likely be disappointed by the graphics and some rather confusing gimmicks
  
  

Wall-E

Based on the new Pixar film, Wall-E has its moments - but they're probably not the ones you'd expect. The basic idea and storyline follow the movie, with your trash-compacting bot charged with cleaning up the planet, scoring extra points for solving bonus objectives. It plays like a 3D platform game, with a roaming but often confusing camera to complicate things further. You can also play as a second robot, Eve, which has different abilities, allowing the two to work together, flicking switches or disabling obstacles. But given Pixar's reputation, it's surprising the graphics aren't better. Wall-E is charming enough for kids, but grown-up gamers deserved more development time.
