The Windows version, subtitled Wilbur and Friends, features nine mini-games based around the characters from the film. The DS and GBA games are action-platform titles with several mini-games in each. Additionally, the DS version supports a 'Nintendogs' style pet simulator, which kicks in during every mid-level save point. Both titles feature the voice of Dominic Scott Kay, the actor playing Wilbur in the motion picture.

Reception

The DS and Game Boy Advance versions received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1][2]

PlayStation 2 Version

In 2007, a separate version of the game was released exclusively in Europe for the PlayStation 2, titled simply Charlotte's Web, excluding the subtitle of Wilbur and Friends. This version of the game is entirely different to the Game Boy Advance and PC versions. In this version of the game, players primarily play as Wilbur, exploring an open farm from a third person perspective. These sections often involve running around the farm collecting items for other characters while avoiding dogs and farmers that will send the player back to the start of the level. In addition to this, Charlotte the Spider and Templeton the Rat are also playable in the form of more linear minigames in between Wilbur's levels.
