Product Description

Curiosity is coming home! Beloved to readers for more than 60 years, Curious George is about to embark on his biggest adventure ever, as the star of a new animated feature film and his long-awaited videogame debut. The Man with the Yellow Hat sets out on a journey to Africa in hopes of finding an artifact exotic enough to save the museum where he works. George, a curious little monkey with an insatiable taste for adventure, follows the Man with the Yellow Hat back to the big city where his spunky and fun-loving nature endears him to new friends he meets along the way and lands him in a series of mis-adventures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun game for younger kids, February 4, 2006

With clips from the upcoming feature length film (and a free child's movie ticket inside), this game is a big hit with my 3 year old and his older brother and sister (6 and 7 respectively). George has to follow the Man with the Yellow Hat (or "Ted") through the jungle, eventually landing in the big city. Collect bananas along the way for bonus items. There are also minigames that you must win in order to proceed in the game. More experienced kids will probably tire easily of this game (not really challenging), but I find it's great to get my little one thinking (hand/eye coordination with certain matching games, etc.)

My only complaint was that this particular game has a problem at the first screen where it's "checking memory slot A". This particular screen stays frozen, no matter what- it won't even allow you to hit the reset button. When we take the Memory Card out of the slot, it prompts us to "Continue Without Saving", and then proceeds to the game. Yet, if we want to save during the game, we can pop the MC back into slot A, and it saves the game like normal. I'm going to check Namco's online live support on Monday regarding this flaw. But otherwise, my kids are crazy for this game.

NOTE: As of April 2006, the problem we had getting the game to play while the Memory Card was in slot A just disappeared on its own- not sure why or how, but it seems to have corrected itself.

This game would have been really great except for the fact that there is problema with the gameplay.The monkey has problems double jumping and holding on to high bars etc.,Be prepared for a frustrating time of falling and starting over, other than that the levels are still fun if you can take the pain.

This game was for my 3 yr old but it's a little hard for her! It's not for a 3 yr old but she loves watching me play it. The game is fun and I think as soon as she is old enough she is going to love playing it. We love George!!
