NEMO was found with two gunshot wounds in the head washed up on a beach in Miami, Florida.

game of the year better than Elden Ring

this game scared the shit out of me as a kid

not as fun as I remember it being when I was a kind. time is a cruel mistress.


You know damn well that if the portable and console versions of this game were separated on this site, it would be among the highest rated game listed on it.

Really disappointing move from the site admins, desperately trying to sabotage the reputation of an obvious classic like that, YOU'LL BE THE FIRST UNDER GOD'S HAMMER DON'T YOU FORGET!

When my grandma was dying my mom went to visit her in a hospice and they always brought us to this kids room with toys and stuff and it had a gamecube and this was the only fucking game. There was a box for sunshine and I desperately looked for the game in my foolishness but only thing there was was this game. Always ended up getting stuck like 5 minutes in.

i remember what childhood house i was in when i tried to beat the first level adn it was so ass and so hard and i fucking hated it. Fuck nemo and fuck dory and fuck marlin. What the fuck

Last game of the year 2023 and this to me is like the dark souls for Pixar games but not as good as a souls like or dark souls game.


5/10

Before nailing the action-adventure formula with their signature LEGO games, Traveller's Tales fumbled magnificently with games like Finding Nemo, a game with a lot of the same concepts and progression but executed so much worse.

7 year old me did not like the Bruce level. Never played it again after that.

I wasn't expecting this game to be very good but I was at least hoping that I'd actually enjoy playing it for a short while before I grew to resent it, but alas. This game was garbage from the moment I picked up the controller.

Each level has "segments" that you can't restart without instead restarting the level from the fucking beginning. I wish I knew that before I missed a ring and, wanting to attempt 100% like I did with the Monsters, Inc. game, I hit restart thinking it'd start the section I just missed a ring on and not the whole damn level because I really couldn't be bothered playing Level Fucking One from the fucking start again.
Not to mention the cutscenes are NOT SKIPPABLE.
All of these combined make me less likely to get all the collectables here, even if I really wanted to.

Why should I sit through all these cutscenes and go through everything a second, or maybe even third time for a handful of measley old rings? What's my reward? Is it worth getting in 2022?

The game itself is a series of floaty linear stages that take way too long to complete, but they are quite easy to breeze through, if you can even call it that.
The playable characters are super slow, it feels like they nerfed their walk speed to make the game take longer to finish.
You're not told about anything, either, you're basically thrown in at the deep end (no pun intended) with the world's vaguest instructions (the "Action Button"? It's SQUARE. Not X. SQUARE. When has the "Action Button" EVER been fucking SQUARE?).

The game has no sense of direction, one hit kills for days and is overall just a mess that irritates me to no end.

You're literally just going through rings like 80% of this game. It's really boring actually. I did really enjoy and get a laugh at the death animations, but all in all this game just didn't do it for me. Finding Nemo is my all time favorite animated film so I certainly was playing with rose-colored glasses as a kid, but I don't remember it being this bad. If it weren't for the fact that I was trying to capture nostalgia and I was already two-thirds done I probably wouldn't have even bothered finishing this replay.

4.8/10

Theres a sort of x and y graph of travelers tales games, with one axis representing 'technically impressive stuff' and another on 'batshit difficulty'. Finding nemo is on the bad end of both axes. Even as an impressionable kid who liked licensed games i knew this one just wasnt made good

Snatched from me before I broke it in on PS2. I will hunt it down someday soon.

Este juego le flipaba a mi padre perdía su mierda

maybe they can find a better videogame next time

Willem Dafoe seal of approval (Willem Dafoe appears in this piece of media)

Why were children's games always so hard?? Game tilted me.

Fui à procura do NEMO!!! Será que o consegui encontrar??? (Fui comido por um TUBARÃO?!?!?)


Loved this as a kid and the environments still look pretty nice for the time. It genuinely took me months to get past the first level, I had no idea you had to hold A to swim so I just kept dashing fruitlessly as Marlin continued to look in disappointment. In that moment, Nemo and I were one consciousness on opposite sites of the screen. Game's okay I guess.

Loved playing this as a kid.

Remember finding the Jellyfish level hard and never made it past the whale level.

I replayed the first few levels all the time though.

Literally the worst game I have ever played. The load times are unbearable and the game is ridiculously hard and unforgiving

There's a shark in two levels!
