4.0 out of 5 stars VAMANOS! Super Great game for younger kids, October 28, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dora the Explorer: Journey to the Purple Planet (Video Game)

*We have purchased other games that have been too advanced & frustrating. This one is not!!!

*Good for ages 4-6 depending on maturity of child.

*Easy to understand, the paths are easy to follow, the tasks make the child feel confident in their ability to complete them, and the concept is similar to the show so there already is an understanding of what is expected.

*The graphics are pretty good, but simple, appear a little "flat."

*Some scenes change angles and there is a super tiny, 2 sec loading period. Not a problem, but worth mentioning because I know it bugs some people.

*Basically, Dora has a destination, and with Boots' help, she must collect things, complete tasks, and of course, Watch Out for Swiper the Fox!

*VAMANOS! GO GET THIS GAME! =0)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good first video game, January 2, 2006

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dora the Explorer: Journey to the Purple Planet (Video Game)

We bought this for our 3yo for his first video game. It is a really good starter game (learning how to use the controls, basics of game play...). The story line and pace are good for this age. I imagine a more experienced video game player would get through it fairly quickly but this game isn't really for them. This is an early childhood rated game.

The activities that the child needs to do are pretty age appropriate. Some are a little easy, even for a 3 year old, but most are just right or a bit harder.

A good game for a new gamer. Our son really enjoys watching us play it as he still hasn't mastered video game play.

Maybe she's behind the curve, but my four year old daughter had never played a video game before, except for some learning games on her computer. This game was her introduction to a Gamecube, and she loves it.

It might be a little easy for experienced game players, but if you're looking for a fun game to start your child off with, this is an excellent choice. She really loves playing this game.
