The game’s look certainly fits the overall look of the movie, so fans of Tim Burton’s visual style should actually be quite pleased with what they see. All of the character models are based off of the characters from the movie, except for Wonka himself. But even Wonka looks enough like Johnny Depp’s version of the character that it feels right.
Each area of the factory looks like a spot-on representation of what is seen in the movie. A few areas have obviously been altered to fit the gameplay, but that’s understandable. You’ll also get a chance to see a few parts of the factory that aren’t in the movie, which is also a nice bonus.
Audio is the game’s strongest aspect. As with likenesses, all of the characters from the movie provide voices for the game except for Johnny Depp. And, once again, the sound-a-like does a great job at replicating Depp’s version of the character. Many of the movie’s familiar lines are present, as are some newly recorded ones. The only thing really missing is the Oompas’ musical numbers, which I really expected to see considering most of the gameplay revolves around them (and yes, I did contemplate writing the entire review in an Oompa-versed format).
