I like Wall-E, those big eyes are too cute to ignore.

Hmm... There are some very interesting physics-based elements that look like they're being incorporated into the puzzle/platforming aspects of the game. My only worry at this point is how easy it'll be to appeal to kids.

metroid mix with third person shooter esque and 3d platforming

hmm...I'm getting the feeling this might have been a game first...then Disney went "Hmm...we might need to advertise this...let's make a movie."

Ehh... anyone feel the suck factor come in with those platforms just "POPPING" down? with just little animation for the backdrops you know there's going to be problems with them...

Obviously have to see it to believe it but so far it looks pretty good.

Agreed on the Dark Forces vibe (although not for the reason stated above in the comments...jeez). Very good call.

Looks good, sort of like a shooter with some platform puzzle elements. A "safe" selection of gameplay elements, common with most direct movie tie-ins.

I can site a couple movie tie-ins that were in the above average range, and if you include movie spin-offs the list becomes larger.

I agree about the Dark Forces vibe. The graphics are quite similar to and just as offensively ugly (by today's standards at least) as the first Jedi Knight game, which I believe was released during or around 1996.

What system is this on, N64?

How can you complain about it being a shooter, have you seen Wall-E? I don't think you have. It could be full of action.

Sorry, but NO animated movie tie-in game will EVER be good.

Wow! I'm actually digging this video. Sure videos can't speak for the game itself, per se, but what I'm still seeing seems to be pretty fun!

From what I've heard, it's mainly a puzzle game where you use his gravity gun-like arm to complete tasks. I say bravo to that one. The more the gravity gun is realized by the mainstream, the more people will be willing to create something of that nature...

I think we have to study the laws of gravity/space-time continuum though.... ;x

Yikes.

Wow im impressed. Impressed they managed to have such an amount of pop in in such tiny environments. When the little egg thing is flying around the junkyard multiple objects randomly pop in. Even though they aren't far away.

And I can't believe people have complimented the physics! Lot's of items moving does not = physics. When a tiny robot hit's a piece of rock as big as it and the rock goes flying like cardboard it is not good physics.

Super Mario Galaxy meets the asteroid scenes in Ratchet and Clank... why is this a platformer shoot-em-up? I guess same reason it's not a puzzler with Wall*E in the background egging you on.

Yuck, but towards the end when inside the huge ship - am I alone in thinking "Valley Forge"? Come back Huey, Dewey and Louie.

@DrkBgrk:
I bet had this a different little robot in it and a different logo at the end you'd probably say "I'm excited for this game. It looks good like the other good games. Bleep Blorp."

I'm actually quite excited for this game now that I see it in action. Hopefully those multiplayer segments are online and don't suck, since that'd warrant a purchase from me. Right now its a rental

Wow, just wow. You know, I might pick this up, for a rental at least. It gave me a tingly Ratch & Clank/Half-Life 2 feeling.

I played the Wall-E game on the DS and it was pretty fun actually! The puzzles are interesting to solve and the robot animation is adorable :)

whats really interesting is that apparently the wii version is a port of the 360/ps3 version. obviously downgraded some, but still...is this the first time the wii has gotten a prot from 360/ps3?

It looks bad. Like a bad game. Like a lot of other games made because there was a movie.

Wow, not what I expected at all. Looks like it is a new twist on old platformer, but I'd rent it.

coalhalo — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:49:16 MDT

As a movie, Wall-E will probably be another homerun from Pixar. All the trailers I have seen so far look fantastic, and Pixar has demonstrated that they can write a good script, (although I thought Cars was a step backwards from "The Incredibles" and "Finding Nemo". Haven't seen "Ratatouille" yet).

As for the video game tie-in, well I don't expect much there. I played the demos for Cars and Ratatouille, and was bored senseless in the first 1-2 minutes. Why should this game be any different?

WOW that's a lot of polish for a licensed title. I hope the gameplay's there too.

Love the Pixar films. In fact, most of them (pretty much all that aren't Finding Nemo) show up in my top 20 films... But games based on Pixar movies have been pissing me off since the Toy Story game on Genesis.

Suckage!

Considering that Ratatouille was actually a damn good game (for what it was), I expect nothing less from this.

@Krackatoa: It's funny you should say that, since Dimension Films has recently acquired the rights to Short Circit and they're planning a remake that will "retain the same themes, but be adapted for advances in technology."
