Night at the Museum 2

You'll know what to expect from this – a simple, undemanding game based on a simple, undemanding movie. The plot has you piecing together fragments of a pharaoh's tablet, each of which grants you a different ability that helps with completing the next mini-game.

These range from jumping through paintings to riding a dinosaur skeleton to piloting a Lunar Lander, although dodgy controls and collision detection make them barely worth the effort. There's a smattering of historical trivia to appease parents, but it's as unconvincing as Ben Stiller's voiceover-by-numbers. With a running time that barely exceeds the movie itself, this is one museum you won't revisit in a hurry.
