Charlie & The Chocolate Factory game

It's exactly the same as every other over-the-shoulder adventure game.  But even on the PS2 there's a hell of a fade/fog effect on items in the far distance.

My wife seems to like it, but I can't even watch it for more than 5 minutes without getting nauseous (I have a problem with 3D over the shoulder adventure games; something about frame rate).

Still, a waste of money and not a very good tie-in product.

I saw it for about five seconds at Wal-Mart on one of their screens. My reaction was "they made a game out of that?"

They can make a game out of ANYTHING.  It's the same gaming engine with different graphics, items, commands, and so forth.  The camera angles still suck, the quests are still lame, and the tie-ins just don't tie in.  And the story usually blows.

I was hoping this was gonna be an online clicky game.
