And ever since there have been movie tie-ins, there have been huge failures. Everyone remembers E.T. from Atari, right? Hundreds of thousands of copies had to be simply buried in New Mexico just to get rid of them. Flash forward a quarter of a century and what have we learned? Not much, apparently.
Night at the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian is based on the comedy of the same name featuring Ben Stiller and a slew of other excellent actors. That is the last time I will be using the adjective "excellent" in this review. The plot is loosely similar to the movie, facing Stiller's museum security guard character Larry Daley with the task of stopping an evil Pharaoh (Hank Azaria) from recovering the pieces of an ancient tablet, bringing all the museum exhibits to life to fight against each other. Yeah, a silly premise, but it is a comedy aimed at younger audiences after all..."

"Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian (NATM2 for short) is based off the movie of the same name and takes a lot of great things from the movie and turns it over to the game. In the end the question has to be asked, is this a game for the hardcore gamer, or just one for the family/casual gamer looking for a fun time."
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, aimed to the youngest of the house, is a game for those who loved the film and for parents to enjoy along with their children. The game offers a simple diversion, educational and without much action, that follows the goal of entertaining without having the ambition of going for more. Sadly, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is another point for the argument that games based on films aren't the best choice for your catalog. At least the experience here is not frustrating, and is over in less than the time it takes to blink of an eye.
