PREMISE:          What if Peter Pan decided to come back to our world and
                  give up Never Never Land?  That is the interesting
                  premise behind the controversial Steven Speilberg film,
                  inspired by the original James Barrie children's novel.
                  In the film, an adult Peter Pan must somehow rediscover
                  the magic of his lost youth and use its power to save
                  his kidnapped children from the clutches of the villanous
                  Captain Hook.  The computer game picks up at the point
                  in the movie where Peter is first reunited with the Lost
                  Boys, and must first prove who he is before they will
                  help him....

IMPRESSIONS:      The idea is certainly original and the movie was
                  halfway decent, with some beautiful scene-chewing going
                  on between Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman, though you
                  must admit that the the roller coaster was a really
                  STOOPID idea.  The game itself ultimately falls flat.  I
                  can't put my finger exactly on why it does, but it does.
                  Save your money for something else.
