The graphics on the Playstation 3 version of this game are a travesty considering the console it was made for. The graphics would be considered a bit less than average on even a Playstation 2 console. Wall-E is not much more than a cube with a low-res wallpaper on it. Other characters don't fare that much better. While they aren't polygonal looking as Wall-E they still aren't up to snuff graphically. Even though The backgrounds are serviceable they are nothing near the potential of what the console can do. Debris effects hearken back to the original Playstation days. This is very sad considering all of the potential that can be had considering the source. The game itself is a decent 3-D platformer that gives you various puzzles to solve. The solutions of these puzzles aren't all that obvious and can challenge you to a little logical thinking, but aside from that the game doesn't travel new ground. Seems more like just repeating puzzle after puzzle. I never felt that connected to the story because of it.
All in all the kids may enjoy it and once the price goes down it should be worthwhile. At this moment I can't really endorse it considering there are much better platform games out there that do take strides in making a good looking PS3 game with an engaging story like Ratchet and Clank. Wall-E doesn't endeavor to anything more than capitalize on the movie franchise.
