CSM - Brave: The Video Game is a middling video game spin-off filled with predictable and repetitive action. It sacrifices the film's stirring relationship between its mother and daughter characters in favor of serving up a constant flow of running, jumping, and sword-swinging action. The battle mechanics are competent and should prove engaging for younger audiences, but parents who opt to join in will likely find themselves yawning after 15 or 20 minutes of the game's decidedly repetitive brawling combat. Since this game is so combat heavy, it may turn off some of its targeted audience of girl gamers.
Nintendo Insider writes:
Naturally this will mostly appeal to those who enjoyed the film, a medieval fairytale set in mythical Scotland, and places players in the role of feisty female protagonist Merida, a skilled archer, who journeys to remove a curse afflicting her mother that she herself is responsible for causing.
Brave is just another mediocre movie based game
Brash Games writes "Brave? Sadly not. While Behaviour Interactive has certainly delivered a solid if unspectacular take on Disney/Pixar’s rather enchanting tale of a rebellious Scottish princess, the final product is more than a little derivative".
