Brave: Disney and Pixar

The Brave video game, based on the popular Disney and Pixar movie, is an exciting adventure that brings the world of Merida to life. The game features stunning CGI cut scenes, but unfortunately, they pale in comparison to the animation used throughout the rest of the game. However, the drawn storyboard cut scenes are well done and add a nice touch of authenticity to the overall experience.

Players can choose from different difficulty levels, including Normal, which seemed geared towards younger players. The game's story mode follows the main plot of the movie, but stretches it out over several sections, making for an engaging and lengthy gameplay experience. Additionally, replayability is high due to the ability to complete the game on a higher setting or earn enough coins to upgrade all of Merida's skills.

With approximately 30 minutes required to complete each section, players can expect the game to last around 4-5 hours. It's worth noting that the game does contain spoilers for those who haven't seen the Pixar movie. I've only completed one of the eight main areas, and there's still much to explore and discover.

The PlayStation Move is used exclusively for the mini-games involving target practice and timed target practice in three sections of five challenges. I was able to achieve gold in all but one challenge within about 20 minutes, although I did find myself wishing for more Archery-style gameplay similar to Sports Champions.

Lastly, I'd like to mention that the pre-order bonuses included a $20 Amazon credit and an $8 movie voucher, which made the game's affordable price tag of less than $49 on Amazon even more attractive. Overall, Brave is a fun and engaging game that fans of the movie will certainly enjoy.
