3.0 out of 5 stars Good game for the Very Young. Otherwise, it's too easy and too short., November 4, 2008

This review is from: Build-A-Bear Workshop: A Friend Fur All Seasons (Video Game)

My children played this game and it took them all of two days to finish it. My oldest is 6 years old. I was dissapointed in it, and I was hoping for more, especially at a $40 price tag.

The story is that Bearemy and Paulette are having a party and you are invited. But first, you have to finish finding 4 puzzle pieces on each seasonal island. To win these puzzle pieces, you must play different games on the islands. There is a fall, winter, spring and summer island. The final island is the palace island and this is where the party is. You can not explore this island or play any games on this island. All you do is watch a dance party.
You can also win accessories for your animal, by digging up treasure boxes and opening them.
Honestly, the game is for very young kids. Anyone older can finish it pretty fast. Even my 6 year old finished it in 2 days. Plus, I think the music is too loud and you can hardly hear Bearemy talking to you when he gives you directions.
If you really want it, rent it at Blockbuster or wait till the price drops dramatically.

The animals you can make are on the game are as follows:
Read Teddy
Scruffy Puppy
Tan Swirl Bunny
Dimples Teddy
Magnificent Monkey
Velvet Bear
Sassy Kitty
Trekkin' Turtle.

As the title of this review suggests, I bought this game for my little sister, who doesn't like complicated games. Even Super Mario Galaxy is too advanced for her, though I found the controls to be quite simple.

She picked this up and really enjoyed it. As a Build-A-Bear fanatic, she was able to create her own bear, understand the instructions and blasted off. The game really does well in teaching the mini-games.

The only complaint I have (which came from my 7-year-old sister) is that it's too short. She finished it in a day (after the third time around).

But for someone who thinks that many of the Wii's current titles are too complicated for their child, this is a great buy.
Though my sister finished it quickly, she still enjoys playing it from time to time.

This review is from: Build-A-Bear Workshop: A Friend Fur All Seasons (Video Game)

This game is very short like all the reviews have already said, but the great part about this game is the mini games that your child can play. The mini games are so short like 3 minutes long but entertaining for a little kid. This game nor any of the other Build-A-Bear games are meant for older children. Some of the minigames are a pogostick race, tetherball, horse riding, etc. There is more than 10 mini games. To unlock all of the minigames you must complete the adventure game which really is just the character completing the mini games and finding puzzle pieces. During adventure mode the character finds/recieves medals which then can be used to bought accessories/clothes at the store.

Oh yeah! All of the directions are said aloud and written on the screen. They even show the kids how to do the moves for each of the games.

This game is best for kids age 3-5. Any older kids will probably be bored after the first hour.
