The story of the game is a condensed retelling of the beloved "Finding Nemo" movie, presented through cutscenes and simple point-and-click gameplay. While some players appreciate the nostalgic elements and the dual storylines of Nemo and Marlin, many find the overall experience disappointing due to its brevity and lack of depth compared to other adaptations like "The Lion King." The game is seen as suitable for younger audiences, but it fails to capture the full emotional and atmospheric richness of the original film.
“The flow of the storyline, mixed with the absolutely phenomenal art style makes for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
“You're playing the original story of 'Finding Nemo'.”
“Story is told via little cutscenes which are real movie scenes - very nice!”
“The story is way too short and the gameplay is way too simple.”
“It only took me a bit over an hour to play through the story, because even though you do follow the separate adventures of both Marlin and Nemo, it is an abridged retelling of the story.”
“Has a story, but it’s boring.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the original soundtrack and feel it suits the overall game, others express disappointment, wishing for music that aligns more closely with the beloved scores from classic Disney films like "The Lion King." Overall, the quality of the music is noted as a strong point, but expectations for nostalgic tracks from the movies remain unmet for some players.
“Good music.”

“Original soundtrack!”
“I grew up watching Finding Nemo. I love Finding Nemo; it's one of my favorite Disney movies. But this game, I'm sorry to say, is not good at all. It's very disappointing and feels cheap and cringe. I thought it would be more like the Lion King games, which have the music from the movie and the beautiful story and atmosphere that the Lion King did.”
