Finding Nemo is an action-adventure title developed by Traveller's Tales and published by THQ for the PlayStation 2. Released in May 2003 to coincide with the theatrical debut of the Academy Award-winning film, the game allows players to experience the underwater odyssey through the perspectives of Nemo, Marlin, and Dory. The title is technically notable for its heavy integration of actual movie clips, which serve as cinematic transitions between its 15+ story-driven levels.

The gameplay is divided into diverse segments that mirror the film's major plot points, including 3D exploration, high-speed chase sequences, and specialized puzzle levels. Players navigate iconic environments such as the Great Barrier Reef, a sunken submarine, a dangerous jellyfish forest, and the EAC (East Australian Current). While many levels focus on avoiding predators like the Anglerfish or Bruce the shark, others involve interaction with the "Tank Gang" in the dentist's office to execute complex escape plans. Each stage contains collectible Gold Starfish, which are rewarded for completing secondary objectives and are required to unlock secret mini-games.

Technically, the PlayStation 2 version offers a balanced performance profile, featuring a more stable frame rate than the GameCube iteration but with slightly less "shiny" visual effects than the Xbox version. The game supports Surround Sound and provides an option for adjusting the screen position to ensure optimal visibility on CRT and early flat-panel displays. In the current 2026 landscape, the title is often played on modern hardware via software emulation (such as PCSX2), where it can be upscaled to 4K resolution at a fluid 60fps.
