I played this with my 4 year old son and he thoroughly was mesmerized. The game details 4 emergency situations that result from a meteor shower. You get to rescue animals in the Australian Outback, hikers stranded in a canyon, skiers/hikers caught in an avalanche, and people caught in a movie studio hit by a tidal wave. The graphics are great - better than the cartoon. My son wanted to do it over and over again. The messages are positive because it features rescue workers savings lives of people and animals.

My 4 year old son spent his own birthday money on this and it was not wasted! He loves it and it's a great game. Challenging enough to stay interesting but not too difficult for a 4 year old. By the way, his 12 year old brother likes it too. I love the adventure and the positive messages of the game, although he did drive me nuts in the car singing 'no one gets left behind!' over and over for at least 20 minutes.

My son has been playing this game for about 10 months and it is still his favorite. He just turned 4, and it is hard enough to keep him interested but not so hard that he gets frustrated.

I purchased this game for my 5 year old son. The graphics are incredible and my son enjoyed all 4 levels. But the problem is THERE ARE ONLY 4 LEVELS. After a day of playing and completing all 4 levels my son became bored and has barely played the game since. Because there are only 4 levels my child became so familar with the game and what was going to happen next he has no desire to play. You can change the difficulty of the levels but that does not change the situations in the levels. Once again, 4 great levels but only 4 levels.

Anything Rescue Heroes is a hit with my kids and me. I like the non-violent orientation of the toys and games. The kids really enjoy the different scenarios and the badges they can print out. Pretty easy to use. My 7 year old is much more proficient than my 5 year old but if you have a kids who already plays video games or gameboy they should have no problem with this game.

Like the Hurricane Havoc game, this is game is also very limited. However,if your 3-6 year old is just learning to master the computer, this game is a must have since he/she will be given instant kudos on a job well done; which is an important lesson for the young growing mind and he/she will be able to master this game on his/her own without a lot of parental input. If your child is more advanced, however, this game is not for you since your child will tire and be bored with this game easily.

My 3 year old son got this for a christmas present and he loves it. It doesn't take long to learn how to play, which is sometimes rare to find. The different levels of play come in handy when you notice that your child has almost mastered the game. This is one of his favorite things to play.

My son is 3 and adores the rescue heroes. I thought he'd love to have this game. He quickly went through all of the levels and games and became so bored he doesn't play it anymore (after about 1 week) There are only 4 different areas to play and 3 levels for each area (all easy) if you beat all the areas you can print up a coloring page with your childs name on the top. Unless you can find it really cheap on sale - don't waste your money.

Outstanding play value as the player has a productive purpose:
to rescue. Easy for child to grasp. Well executed and allows
child to repeat a game at any level.

Poor customer support from Fisher Price ~ RESCUE HEREOS METEOR MADNESS ~
I have a brand new 1.3 Gig computer with Windows Me. The videos in the game only display 1/4 of the picture on the top of the screen. I have set the picture resulution to the correct setting and reinstalled the Quicktime 5 that came with the game. I have tried calling customer support at Fisher Price. After being on hold for about 10 minutes waiting for a support person to pick up the phone it then kicks into a recording where you can enter your name, phone number and why you are calling. I have left 2 messages and not once did any one there return my call. I have also tried calling multiple times but after being on hold the same recording clicks in. I am through wasting my time and will be returning this game back to Amazon.com
