CSM - For a licensed game based on a cartoon, that is itself based on a toy, Gormiti: The Lords of Nature is surprisingly good. The character design of the heroes may be unfortunately unattractive, but if your kids are already Gormiti fans, they're probably fine with it. And that's just a minor quibble with the original licensed product, anyway. The game's overall look is pleasantly bold, bright, and colorful; the characters almost look like action figures (in a good way).
Zach writes: 'There’s a certain charm to children’s cartoon shows, that is impossible to recreate in live-action. I’m a huge fan of many of them – Star Wars: The Clone Wars and X-Men: The Animated Series are both exceptional looks at their source material.'.
Game Vortex: "If you happen to have a pre-teen in the house, you'll know that Gormiti: The Lords of Nature! is all the buzz right now. Eclipsed only slightly by the onslaught of Bakugan and Beyblade, Gormiti has managed to become a strong toy brand. Part collectible-card game and part miniatures action, Gormiti: The Lords of Nature! also has the benefit of a running television presence on Nickelodeon. It's a perfect opportunity for some licensed gameplay, so we were surprised to find this DS entry seriously lacking in curb appeal."
GS: "OK, let’s get it out of the way right up front. Gormiti: Lords of Nature is a kids’ game. If you’re over ten years old and do not intend to play the game with your child, younger sibling, or another affiliated moppet then don’t bother with it."
