IGN writes: "Brave: A Warrior's Tale is a simple title meant for kids unfamiliar with the gaming world. As an introductory product -- an ultra light action-adventure -- Brave has far too many rotten bits and oddities to recommend. It's still a functional game on a basic level, despite its control and camera issues, and its low level of difficulty keep it readily accessible. With gameplay ranging from straightforward platfoming and combat to swooping down on an eagle amidst a herd of buffalo to nab enemy riders, there's been a definite effort made to keep things from getting stale. If only it all worked as smoothly as it should. It's expected that a family friendly title may not have the depth some are looking for, but that doesn't mean it should be given a free pass when it's this sloppily thrown together".

Lawrence Sonntag writes that "most aspects of the game aren't what a gaming enthusiast would consider good, or even adequate. The important thing to realize is that Brave just isn't for them, and conversely, neither is this review. This review is for parents who can hardly finish reading this paragraph because their child is wailing in the background, and quite possibly about to throw a pudding cup at the monitor. That parent will want to know if Brave will keep the little bast- err... bundle of love quiet long enough to justify the game's $30 price. Unfortunately, several factors prevent Brave from earning this blanket recommendation."
Hmmm, I really enjoyed this review and as I got to the end, braced myself for the 2/10 that was surely coming. 4/10 suggests a game which is slightly below average.
GameKult: After a first pass on PlayStation 2 in 2005, it was thought that the little Indian Brave had learned from his failures and does not embark on a new adventure after having wisely questioned.
