2.0 out of 5 stars For kids under 4 who have never played Diego!, January 1, 2009

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Snow Princess (Video Game)

If you have ever played Diego's Safari game and your child is 3 or maybe 4 years old you could try this game. It is EXACTLY like the Diego game except its Dora. My 5 year old who loves Dora didn't even want to finish it past 20 minutes because she says "its the same as diego mom its so boring" and it is the same! The screen looks the same, same fuctions, even the appearance is very similar except its in girl colors!

I think the Diego is a great game for smaller kids getting used to the wii, but if youve played it before, this is about 90% exactly like it!

This review is from: Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Snow Princess (Video Game)

We are new to the Wii and have 5 kids from 16 years old down to 3. I was concerned I wouldn't find a game that my youngest could play and that would hold her attention. Fortunately, I read the reviews here and decided to try it. This game is definitely perfect for a young child. It follows the typical Dora story line as in her cartoon and that is what the game is based on. it explains everything when it needs to be as well as gives visual help. My daughter is 3 months shy of being four years old and she really enjoyed it out of the box, and as her first video game experience. I have to say that my 5, 8 & 10 year olds also got a kick out of playing it as well. Probably just a novelty, as I can't say they would be as interested in it as my three year old, but they did enjoy "helping" my daughter learn.

I have to say, I am in awe that the makers of a video game as complex as the Wii could make something that a young inexperinced Wii player could handle.

This is a must have for any child who likes Dora.

It's difficult to find a game that young kids can easily play. Fortunately this is one. My daughter had NO problem picking up the controller and playing the game. She actually had FUN with the Wii and we got some use out of it. Great game.
