I love playing all the different characters. I am 51 and using it at the easiest setting. I seem to have the most trouble with spacing the jumps between places.
Unfortunately the starting point to some hard parts is far away and when you die you have to begin at the starting point each time instead of right at the difficult part. It would be much easier and not so frustrating if you could start at the difficult places each time.

You are suppose to be able to save the game where you want as well. Well I haven't been able to and contacted the place that puts it out in an e-mail about not being able to find the save feature. So far haven't heard back.

At the beginning of a new game it asks if you want to save the game, but you haven't played it yet and I don't know what it is actually saving. I went ahead and said yes to it the second time around and when I wanted to finish a game and save it, it told me if I quit I would loose the game. I have been all over the start of this game and can not find a save feature other than a pre asked save to a game. But even with that choice it can't be saved when I choose quit.

I payed $38. for a used one. And have to keep it turned on constantly so I won't loose my place since I am unable to save it.
Some of it is difficult as with spacing the jumps right that a young person would not be able to do.
I believe it says 10+ is fair. They maybe better cordinated than I am. I may not be able to finish it and have to wait until I can find a 10 yr. old.

Most of the game is enjoyable and fun if not for the distance jumping and dieing over and over again!

This game is awesome. I am not a serious gamer. Most games I dont even finish because they start out fun and end up getting ridiculously hard. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but its fun and not too hard. If you like games that are fun, but dont get too hard, this is a good game for you. By the way, I am a mom of three :)
