Game Vortex writes: "The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun takes one of the currently rising kids' cartoons and puts it into the interactive media for the first time ever.
As for how well the show's visual style translates onto the Wii, Beasts of the 5th Sun does an adequate job. While the videogame doesn't quite match the smoothness found on the Cartoon Network series, it uses the system's capabilities quite well in order to provide character models that while a bit blocky, are by no means tough to bear. Outside of the human characters (the Saturdays and some of the enemies), the other character models (mainly the cryptids) also stack up well compared to their TV series counterparts."
Gamewelt: The Saturdays are a cartoon family with monstrous abilities. These bring the hero pack, but not from the Spielspaßtalsohle. Why The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun is far from a convincing family video game, and the weighting of the royalty as more importance to quality, you read in the test.
Beast of the 5th Sun is unfortunately yet another mediocre licensed game. It has some good ideas and tries valiantly to present the cartoon universe in video gameform, but only fans of the series will be able to fully enjoy this title.
Level7: First of all, I'll admit that I have not heard of the Secret Saturdays, but it went pretty quickly dawned on me that this game must be linked to one license. Indeed, it is based on a TV series of the same name directed against the young. To the DS, this is, however, on a platform which, even without the warning in mind that there is a licensed game, deserves some criticism.
