Bolt puts you in control of young secret agent Penny and her super-powered dog Bolt as they battle evildoers in a popular TV show. While it's a neat idea to base the game around the fictional TV show rather than in-film events, the result is a boring adventure that'll only appeal to kids who aren't looking for a great deal of complexity. For instance, the game's combat is easily thwarted by controlling Penny, who sneaks up on baddies and knocks them out with a single blow. Bolt, fares slightly better but still relies on a simplistic combo of fighting moves. Completed in a few mere hours, there's nothing that will wow most players and several weak mini-games don't add much value either. Disney should've given Bolt's right-hand hamster Rhino his own game instead of shoving this one through the doggy door.
