Inspired by the original Disney-Pixar animated film, this Frogger-like game challenges you to steer a fish in a bag across different obstacles, in order to join Nemo. There are three modes: In Baggy Mode, you pick one of the Tank Gang characters that have escaped from the dentist�s aquarium and use the touch screen to help roll them out to sea. Once completed, that player becomes playable in the mini-games. The Mini-game Mode lets you play as one of the film's characters including Nemo, Marlin, and Dory, and earn sea tokens for each of the games you complete. In Interactive Reef Mode, you can redeem the sea tokens you've earned to purchase items and personalize your own reef or aquarium. The 3DS version contains Finding Nemo 3D film clips. Prices are $30 for the Nintendo 3DS and $20 for the Nintendo DS version.Testers: "this is a moderately fun game -- perhaps OK for a rainy weekend. It's not very spectacular."
