5.0 out of 5 stars Here Wii Go!, September 28, 2007

This review is from: Cosmic Family (Video Game)

We bought the Wii game system back in January or February. I have a ten year old and a four year old. The ten year old loves it, absolutely. I think he'd be willing to give up a kidney rather than lose the Wii (and I have to concur). The four year old was a little disillusioned because she can't quite get the hang of the games. She was almost okay with baseball and bowling, but not quite. So when the rest of us wanted to Wii, she'd get annoyed, then annoying. She'd march through our bowling alley demanding to be heard!

Then I stumbled upon Cosmic Family. The genius of this game is that it is aimed at 4-8 year olds, and is excellent for hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, and has music and dancing segments that made my daughter start dancing around the room (physical exercise). She found this game extremely user friendly (took her about 5 minutes to get the hang of it), and there's an elephant you can click if you get stuck. There's puzzles, interactive games, and a family that lives in rocket ship...what can be cooler than that?

I can see the advantages to her playing this game already. It will help her with future mouse-control on the computer, and as previously stated, the problem-solving skills are very beneficial. To give an example, there is a "mixed-up" room that she needs to point, click and drag to the right area. When she gets the room in proper order, confetti covers the screen, and music plays. She gets to progress to the next level, or keep solving more of the same puzzles.

We've only had the game one day so far, but she loves it, and so do I. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for younger kids!, October 10, 2007

I agree with the other reviewer. We have an 8-year-old and a 4-year-old. The younger one wanted to be involved in playing games, but didn't quite get the hang of it; it led to frustration for her and for us (as we tried to explain how to play the other games). We just got this game yesterday and she is already understanding what to do and is playing by herself. So nice to have a fun (and educational!) game for her so that she doesn't feel left out.

This review is from: Cosmic Family (Video Game)

I purchased this for my four year old, because he was feeling left out of all the Wii games we play. He was able to do a few games on his own on Wii Sports and Wario Ware Smooth Moves, but needed assistance most of the time. Not so with this game - I put it in and handed him the remote - he was off! The game is great, it has 3 difficulty levels and requires the kids to play a good variety of puzzle games. As they explore the spaceship, there are quite a few humorous movies that they can activate as well. I feel good about letting him play this on the weekend - he is really engaged and thinking, and I can see that it is definitely helping his fine motor skills as well. As long as parents are responsible, and limit the time their children spend playing video games, I think this is a great choice.
