In preparation for an overseas flight, I bought a Game Boy and three games for my 4 1/2 year old (with the intent of sharing with the 2 1/2 year old). Compared to the other games, the Blue Clues game had a number of excellent games, that TRULY involved pre-reading learning skills, and the graphics were colorful and engaging.

My 4 1/2 year old quickly understood the activities and stayed glued to the game, well, for the duration of the trip! (It was just what we needed). The 2 1/2 year old couldn't understand the "rules" but he was happy (for 15 minutes at a time) to just push buttons and watch Steve and his pals.

To the game's authors: Bravo!!! Job well done!!!

If you're concerned with the amount of violence introduced to children in most video games, this game is for you and your child. Blue's Clues Alphabet Book focuses on learning activities like letter recognition, memory skills, sequencing, and spelling. The game allows for free play, where a child can choose any game, or play the actual Blue's clues game, where the child can hunt for clues to the missing alphabet pages, just like the show. It is very easy and simple to follow so your child feels successful everytime. The graphic accuracy and color are surprisingly vivid for a gameboy color game. (If you've been able to see any of the games on this console, you know what I mean.)

My 3yr. 10 mo. old son loves this game. He was so excited when we presented it to him, we couldn't get him to stop long enough to eat. I, as his mom, feel better that there are people out there who make non-violent games like this one. As parents , any help we can get is welcome. I highly recommend this game for children 3 and up as a first game if you're contmeplating buying a gameboy color for your child.

A plus for moms and dads, take the gameboy and this game along when grocery shopping. It'll make waiting in line less stressful.(Maybe a little cheaper; they may not notice the candy on the impulse buy section.)

I purchased this game for my son (age 4.5) for Christmas and am very pleased with it. I had been hesitant about introducing him to the Gameboy at this age, particularly since the games I have seen rely so heavily on violence or "levels" the player must reach to go on in the game. Blue's Clues is an exception. My son has no problem navigating the screens and I appreciate that the games start at a beginning level and only increase in difficulty as my son is successful with them. The games are too simple for my 7 year old but a great introduction for the younger set. (I agree with another reviewer that the sound is not terrific--it has a "buzzy quality"--but my son plays the game in the car with the sound off and still enjoys it.)

I bought a gameboy before my daughter turned 2 hoping to keep her busy on a long plane ride. She enjoyed just pushing the buttons at that point and it kept her entertained for short periods of time. Now she is almost 2 1/2 and has mastered each and every Blues Clues Game and begs to play it every night before bedtime. It teaches the alphabet, motor skills, and memory. She can remember "hidden" letters better than my husband and I! She is very proud that she knows how to play the games, and loves to teach us adults how to play!

I got this for my daughters 4th birthday and she loves it. It has taught her to pair things up, letters and letters with colors and music notes! It's a great game for beginners!

My two year old son is obsessed with Blue's Clues. So dumb that they don't just sell Blue's Clues stuff at the store, since it's still very popular...guess they don't want to make money. Anyways, the game is great for little ones. He could actually play it. A little outdated because of the gaming system, but works great for toddlers.

I cannot understand a word of what they are saying on this game! I think it is terrible. If I cannot hear or understand it, certainly my 3 year old cannot.
