Jeff writes "If you do have young Nemo fans, it’s not necessarily a bad purchase, because the game works fairly well and they should enjoy some of the hijinks of the characters and the minigames. It’s just not a good purchase at $30. A significant price drop would make the game much more appealing."
Pocket Gamer: Conventional wisdom would suggest that licence games suck. But I think that's a myth.

Nintendo Life: Finding Nemo: Escape to the Big Blue's re-release would seem a little odd were it not for the fact that Finding Nemo is currently enjoying a second run at UK cinemas due to the wonders of 3D technology. Disney has clearly seen a good opportunity to improve its rate of return on the game — which was originally released on the DS back in 2006 — by also giving it the 3D treatment. The end result is unfortunately a tad shallow (no pun intended), but still entertaining enough for younger players that may have missed the original release.
