Explore different areas and meet Playground bosses. But watch out, because the further you go in the game, the harder the bosses play. By beating bosses, you’ll be rewarded with stickers that act as power-ups. As well, you can roam the playground world and collect marbles that allow you to purchase additional stickers from the Sticker King. You’ll eventually assemble the ultimate Sticker Collection in your Sticker Album. Complete your Sticker Album, use the power-ups to beat the hardest bosses, and you’ll be on your way to owning the EA Playground!

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes you feel like a kid on the playground!, March 9, 2008

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: EA Playground (Video Game)

This game is so much fun and very unique! I just love the way they set it up. First you start off at school on the playground. It will tell you to play against two other children and beat them at their games to open a new park. Once you beat them then a park opens and you have to beat the kids in the park at their games, and it opens a new area. So basically you play the mini games to open more locations.

When you beat a kid at their game you get stickers and marbles. You get to keep a sticker book for each game and each time you do really good you get a new sticker for it.

You can collect marbles in order to buy power-ups. If your exploring the playground and find a item that isn't being used and play with it, you get marbles. You can take these marbles to the Sticker King, Conner, and you will be able to buy what you want from him using those marbles.

The mini-games are:

Kicks: Score as many goals as you can before the goalie catches them. If you can beat the other kids scores your a winner.

Dodgeball: Knock out your opponents team by tagging each team member with a ball. Last team with a member standing wins!

RC Racers: Zip your car around the circuit track as fast as you can. The driver in first place after three laps is the winner. You can also use power ups while racing like Rocket, Zapper, Missile, Pizza, Juice, and Cherry Bombs.

Skate & Sketch: Earn points by connecting the dots to perform tricks on the halfpipe.

Spitballs: Search the playground for a target. Once you have found them, blow into the microphone to hit them with a spitball. You will have to be quick though, since once you have started to throw spitballs the other kids panic. Keep finding and hitting your targets before you run out of time or run out of spitballs.

Hopscotch: Watch and listen to the sequence your opponent plays on the hopscotch court. When it is your turn try to match the sequence exactly. Get all the sequences right and you win.

Hoops: Score points by making shots from shooting zones all around the basketball court. Shot zones far away from the basket are worth up to five points. Shots close to the basket are only worth two. The player with the most points wins.

Trampoline: Jump as high as you can and pop as many balloons as possible before your opponent! Watch out for birds because they slow you down. Jump off your opponents head for a extra boost!

Bug Hunt: Catch as many bugs as you can but watch out for the bee's or you loose health. Try to catch the right amount of bugs before your health runs out.

So as you can see there are a ton of fun games! I really enjoy playing this and I DO feel like a kid on the playground!

3.0 out of 5 stars Actually didn't keep them as entertained as I would have hoped, August 27, 2008

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: EA Playground (Video Game)

Not a bad game and I actually would have thought it would have kept all three of my girls entertained--after all, cheapier games like Girls playhouse have been great. The graphics are good but the game was too difficult for my nine year old who has Williams syndrome and too hard for my three year old. My seven year old who considers herself a ds master (ha) liked the game the most and was able to get further along than her sisters, but still played the game on and off for a few weeks and then has not picked it up for 6 months--unlike some of the games they've had for a year and we all still play like Marioworld, princess peach and yoshi games.

This game is OK. Not above average. You should buy it if the price is low. The game is fun at first, but as you play it more, it gets really hard. It seems almost impossible.
