Disney's Chicken Little

Chicken Little is a breath of fresh air in a sea of mediocre movie based games. With more gameplay variety than the average game and just an overall happy feeling, there is a lot to be enjoyed here for both fans of the movie and gamers alike. While the game does not bring anything new to the genre, it is a highly enjoyable game that not only sticks close to the original source material but also expands upon in some areas. Chicken Little can proudly stand next to Aladdin and the few other Disney animated movie based games.

It’s not often that you expect to be entertained by a videogame that is based on a Disney property. The reason for this is that most seem to cater to a very young demographic and that gameplay in these titles usually lack any substance. While there have been games like Alladin for the Super Nintendo and Genesis that were widely enjoyed by a broad gaming audience, over the past few years there doesn’t seem to have been a Disney game that has received such acclaim. However, thanks to the talents of developer Avalanche, Chicken Little is one Disney-based title that is an absolute joy to play. It’s not the greatest of modern platformers but it surely knows how to entertain players very well, and not just the pre-teen crowd.

Playing Chicken Little will get you exactly what you deserve – a platform style game based on a movie. The film itself was decent, as is the game. There are no real surprises here, as the game is catered to the target audience of the film – kids looking to extend the movie experience.

Man kann von Filmumsetzungen halten, was man will. Diese Versoftung bringt alle Zutaten mit, um junge Disney-Fans zu begeistern: Die Levels sind kunterbunt und interaktiv, Rennspiel- und Sporteinlagen (teilweise sogar für zwei Spieler) sorgen für die nötige Abwechslung und zwischendurch kommt dank zahlreicher Schnipsel aus dem Film eine klasse Atmosphäre auf. Da fallen die belanglosen Missionsziele gar nicht so sehr ins Gewicht. Wusstet ihr übrigens, dass Himmel und Huhn von den Tak-Machern stammt?

Chicken Little is a serviceable game that juices Disney's storytelling mastery for all its worth. Experienced gamers should, obviously, look elsewhere, but kids and the content-conscious could certainly do much worse.

At a time when video games tend to be catering to an older crowd, it's refreshing to see a game like Chicken Little come along to grab the attention of younger gamers. The game's lower level of difficulty and varied gameplay styles make it easy for just about anyone to get into the game and enjoy the experience. Although veteran gamers are less likely to find Chicken Little as anything more than a quick diversion, it could be just the thing to introduce a new generation of gamers to the industry.

Chicken Little is a fun little game for anybody who doesn't get easily frustrated and any kid who wants a challenge. I suppose if you're sick of buying your child a game that's far too easy and is over in seconds, well, this is the game for you. Just be prepared to pick up the chicken pieces when little Timmy throws a tantrum!

Wie der Film richtet sich das Spiel vor allem an Kinder. Aber auch Junggebliebenen, die auf abwechslungsreiche Jump&Runs stehen, kann ich Himmel und Huhn nur empfehlen. Wenn Sie jedoch zu denen gehören, die Prince of Persia mit verbundenen Augen durchspielen, lassen Sie die Finger von dem Federvieh. Der Anspruch ist nämlich genauso klein wie der Held des Spiels.

Finding a good game adaptation of a popular kid's flick is near impossible. Finding an excellent one is near miraculous. Finding a decent one, though, that's manageable. And that's precisely what Chicken Little from developer Avalanche is. It's not great in any one particular area, but overall it's far better than most games engineered to cash in on popular movies. And for those that don't know, Chicken Little is Disney's new computer animated retelling of the popular kid's story about a young chicken who believes the sky is falling.

There are certain constants in the universe that people can count on. The sun will always rise. Water will always be wet. And a new Disney cartoon will always result in a merchandising blitz. The latest proof of this is Disney's upcoming feature film, Chicken Little. This new cartoon has already spawned everything from plush dolls to dinnerware sets. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that Disney has also released a video game based on the film. What may surprise people though is just how fun this game really is.

Game developers are forewarned over and over again to not make a movie-based game unless it’s going to be remarkably good. Sure, some games like Shark Tale do a wonderful job recreating the movie experience for you. Sometimes, you’ll even find one that extends a gripping plot beyond the movie. But most of the time, the developers just whip up a bargain bin title and slap a non-bargain bin price on it.

Chicken Little is a tough game to recommend to specifically adults or kids. That’s because it may be too basic for adults with its focus on platforming and simplistic mini-games, yet the difficulty of some missions may turn kids off from it entirely. For me, it was easiest to trade-off turns: when the game was easy, I let the kids play, when it was too tough for them, I took over. But I can’t see either side enjoying the game on their own, it’s truly a family game to say the least, because without both kids and adults playing, it’s not going to hold your interest. Overall, I did enjoy it, but would suggest renting it before buying.

Chicken Little is a character of many faces. In the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, he was a nightmare on two chicken feet – always seeming so quiet and nerdy, but in reality a lethal force shooting down any of Foghorn’s attempts at “entertaining” the youthful chicken. In fairy tales, he was just a character known for declaring that “the sky is falling” and being wrong all the time. In Buena Vista’s Chicken Little for consoles (Xbox and PS2), the character, taken from the movie of the same name, is a mix of both – he’s nerdy, anxious and actually pretty comedic. The game of the same name has managed to capture the charm of the character, which makes it a good fun all around.

Chicken Little is a warm and humorous tale of the classic underdog story told through the eyes of a chicken. This is a title that managed to make me laugh many times before it was over, which was a welcome surprise. The core gameplay mechanics keep this from being a purchase for any gamer over the age of twelve, but any players looking for a sweet tale that isn’t all about the action and the killing, this is worth a brief look. A perfect rainy day rental, Disney’s Chicken Little brings nothing new to the platforming genre, but rather wraps up classic elements into a short and sweet little package. A perfect gift for a younger gamer after seeing the film, any older players will breeze through it too fast to warrant the game’s price tag.

Chicken Little is better than most movie tie-in games. By keeping expectations realistic and play varied it succeeds in being a fun title for kids that will keep them occupied for awhile. Bonus points if they liked the movie.

Chicken Little s'efforce d'exploiter toute la richesse du long-métrage pour proposer une aventure variée qui se renouvelle au moyen de phases de jeu très différentes. Le problème, c'est que le gameplay est largement perfectible et que les épreuves sont trop simplistes pour réellement nous amuser. On le conseillera donc uniquement aux plus jeunes qui auraient envie de voir le monde à travers les yeux d'un minuscule petit poulet.

Le GRAND champion, nous dit-on, est un petit poulet. Ou l'éternelle histoire du petit enfant malheureux et moqué, mais plein de ressources, qui va prouver au monde entier qu'il vaut mieux que ses détracteurs. Le dernier film d'animation signé Walt Disney trouve ici son prolongement sur PC. A réserver aux enfants.

Chicken Little wanted to be a lot of things. It wanted to be an action/adventure. It wanted to be a space shooter. It wanted to be a sports game, and a racing game, and incorporate pieces of Crazy Taxi. Technically it became all of those things, forgetting that as important as variety is, there is one thing that precedes it: continuity.

In spite of Chicken Little having a few fun levels, I wouldn't suggest it to anyone over 10 years of age. For the rest, whether you absolutely must have a licensed game for every movie you see or must play this game for some reason, prepare for a mostly playable and tolerable experience that might have some fun moments here and there.

With very pitiful control and a learning curve that defies how difficult the game truly is, this isn't something I would pick up for your children under the age of ten. Give your kids the pleasure of playing a platform game with some actual depth behind the easy jumping, running and shooting; because this game is definitely not it. Respectfully, Disney completely raises the bar when it comes to the silver screen but should probably lay off videogames, because as it seems more was left out of this game than included.

Chicken Little the movie is a computer animated triumph with engaging characters, hilarious moments and sophisticated, satirical concepts that appeal on different levels to both children and adults.
