This is a great program for your youngest Playstation gamers! Some of us have those little ones that would love to play Spyro or Crash Bandicoot, but are always told "it's too hard for you." Our three year old gets the excitement of seeing Elmo ride a jet ski on the Chocolate River and riding a snowboard! She especially loves telling her big sister that "it's too hard for you!" An adorable game and a great learning tool for those young gamers in your house!

This game is an all around exciting time. Not only does it teach your children to recognize numbers, using the Nintendo controller helps them develop fine motor skills plus spatial relations. My two-year-old and three-year-old play this game for hours. They scream with joy when they spot the correct number and fall over backwards and kick their feet when they correctly identify a number. A definately recommended game and educational toy!

This game is fantastic for a very young player. My daughter is 3 and she is able to play the game all by herself -- and win! It gives her confidence that she can play video games just like her older brother as well as reinforces what she is learning about numbers. I find a lot of video games that are rated "E" for everyone are still too hard and frustrating for a very young child. She has a lot of fun playing this game.

I would not recommend this game. The main task seems to be using the game controller; identifying the numbers (all single-digit, I believe) is very easy for any kid old enough to even minimally use the controller. Also, you can't turn around, which my son finds very frustrating. Additionally, it seems to give you the same few numbers over and over.

This game is pretty slow and boring. My two year old couldn't get interested. I'm sorry to say this because usually Sesame Street does such a fabulous job, but not in this case. The game is slow and all you do is walk - very slowly - on a path looking for numbers. It is frustrating because you have to walk up to them in a certain way or you can't pick them up. Then there is no real "reward" to finding the numbers. Really boring.

I got this game so that my toddler would have something to play on my Playstation. When he first received the game, he loved it (about a week); however, when he learned there were only 7 screens for play, he got bored (3 worlds with 2 adventures plus one that you go in each time you complete a journey). And, changing the levels (easy - hard) only changes the amount of numbers you must find but not the adventures. The only time he pulls it out (once a month, if that) is when I am not available to help him with another game. I feel I wasted my money. And, as another reviewer mentioned, it seems to use the same numbers over and over.

Aparently "Elmo like to count!" Whats next... "Elmo for President?" This is a very satisfying game... but it undoubtedly will someday end the world! All in all, this game was a good usage of sausage!
