Our Thoughts:  The kids loved the movie and are always eager to try a game with a movie tie-in.  The Middle of Los Tres Amigos put the game to the test for this review.  

"The graphics are cool.  The game is easy and why do I always have to be a girl."  

He was right.  The graphics are pretty cool.  It reminded me of those pc computer games from back in the day.  In order to progress in the game you must interact with other characters along the way.  Lots of pop up bubble convo which detracts from the action but defines the story line.  Cutesy.  Despite your favorite ghouls and monsters, this is not scary and perfect for the kiddos.  Little ones who have seen the movie (great movie by the way) will undoubtedly enjoy the game a little more.

Buy It: Rated E10+ and available everywhere for $29.99.  Available at retailers nationwide including:
