Wall-E might gather trash, compress it into cubes and collect junk for his own amusement, but this game is neither trash nor junk and everyone should think about collecting it.

No matter how you feel in general about movie tie-ins you cannot deny that this game is well made and fun to play.

Wall-E (mobile) is a puzzle platformer. You play as Wall-E and must collect objects of interest like lighters, fire extinguishers, trophies and rubber ducks. In order to do so you need to compress some trash into cubes and move them about to get where you need to go.

There are multiple types of trash cubes and each requires a particular strategy to utilize correctly. The regular cubes simply go where you throw them while the heavy duty cubes will drop into the first place they find. Magnetic cubes are, well, magnetic. They stick to other metal things like girders which is great when you need to get somewhere above your normal reach.

By moving the cubes around and collecting items and maps you expand your playable areas and attain your goals as you work towards finishing the game.

I’ll warn you now. There will be plenty of level restarting because you will eventually make a mistake that makes it almost impossible to pass a level. You know what? I’m fine with that. Because the game was so well made I simply laughed it off and restarted the level as necessary.

This game requires thought, strategy and foresight at times. Sometimes you need to simply scope out the whole level, which you can do with the free roaming camera option, to see what you need to do and where you need to go.

Some levels are extremely easy, some are not and some force you to think about what types of cubes do what and how to best utilize them. It took me a full 5 times on one level in particular to realize I was simply not using the cubes to my advantage.

Ok so I’ve only been talking about the gameplay for this game, so what about the graphics and the sound? Who cares?! The game is fun, challenging and well worth the money.

Seriously, the game looks good. The graphics are excellent and the music is well done. As it’s a mobile title there’s nothing exceptional here. Until they start using full on MP3 quality sound and up the graphics from the SNES level I just won’t be impressed.

The game is interesting, enjoyable, challenging and literally hours of gameplay. It looks good and it sounds good and it could be the best film to game crossover ever. It might even be one of the best mobile games I have ever played as well. Thumbs up all around to Disney, Universomo and THQ Wireless. Is it a 10? No, but maybe a 9.5 overall.
