Reception

[edit]

PC version

[edit]

AceGamez rated the game 6 out of 10, GameZone rated it 7 out of 10, PC Format UK rated it 27 out of 100, and PC Gamer UK rated it 62 out of 100.[4] Childrenssoftware.com gave the game 4.5/5, writing: "The humor and adventure make the transition from large to small screen nicely. Although the game is marketed to kids ages 6 and older, the gameplay can be challenging. Our nine to fourteen year old testers liked the game".[1] jkdmedia of Gamezone said: "This game appears to be a fun, action packed game, with lots of cool mini-games that can be played independently. I say 'appear', because frankly, due to many technical issues in running the game, we didn't get all the way through the game. There is a lot of game here, though, with plenty of easy exploration and item collecting".[5] SuperKids gave the game a 3.0 for Educational Value, 4.0 for Kid Appeal, and 5.0 for Ease of Use. It said: "While Brother Bear is a fun-packed game that reinforces the importance of friendship and listening, it does not address the classic 3 R's", and noted "even if kids have not seen Disney's Brother Bear movie, they will enjoy this fun adventure".[6]

GBA version

[edit]

GameZone rated the game 8 out of 10, Nintendo Power rated it 3.3 out of 5, and Nintendojo rated it 6.6 out of 10.[7]
