You'll also interact with seven different characters from the film.”

Differences Between the Movie

• Kenai mentions the mountain where the lights touch the earth before he and Koda make a deal, rather than keeping it a secret until Koda talks about the Salmon Run before mentioning the mountain

Critical reception

PC version

AceGamez rated the game 6 out of 10, GameZone rated it 7 out of 10, PC Format UK rated it 27 out of 100, and PC Gamer UK rated it 62 out of 100. Childrenssoftware.com gave the game 4.5/5, writing "The humor and adventure make the transition from large to small screen nicely. Although the game is marketed to kids ages 6 and older, the gameplay can be challenging. Our nine to fourteen year old testers liked the game". jkdmedia of Gamezone said "This game appears to be a fun, action packed game, with lots of cool mini-games that can be played independently. I say "appear", because frankly, due to many technical issues in running the game, we didn't get all the way through the game. There is a lot of game here, though, with plenty of easy exploration and item collecting." SuperKids gave the game a 3.0 for Educational Value, 4.0 for Kid Appeal, and 5.0 for Ease of Use. It said "While Brother Bear is a fun-packed game that reinforces the importance of friendship and listening, it does not adress the classic 3 R'", and noted "Even if kids have not seen Disney's Brother Bear movie, they will enjoy this fun adventure."

GBA version

GameZone rated the game 8 out of 10, Nintendo Power rated it 3.3 out of 5, and Nintendojo rated it 6.6 out of 10.
