PlayStation 2 Critic Reviews

It's not groundbreaking, but it doesn't have to be. Kids don't care about that. They care about having fun playing it, and I think that is where Activision has succeeded here.

Instead of a linear adventure, the game mixes different styles of gameplay into unrelated missions and while strange on paper, the gameplay works surprisingly well.

The game’s four different gameplay modes should keep children from losing interest, while the simple controls will provide a great beginning for future gamers.

A great movie adaptation and very good choice for younger gamers -- or anyone who needs a Christmas present for a younger gamer in a hurry.

All of the gameplay elements seem like they really belong in the game and aren't just mini-games tacked on to pad it up. For a game that's based on underwater cartoon characters, (warning: pun alert) it's got a lot of depth.

The difficulty varies greatly, and might frustrate the game's chosen audience.

DreamWorks' Shark Tale is a Jack-of-all-trades for gameplay, but is a clear master for none of them.

A worthwhile experience – especially if you’re a parent looking for something for kids that won’t bore you to tears.

The game works in its purpose of being a great kid’s game based on a strong license. It’s basic, it’s not too hard, but it is all done very well and it’s not a bad game in the slightest.

The game's soundtrack is awesome, but since many of the songs are old and/or obscure, some of the charm may be lost on the target audience.
