= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this item for my 3 year old daughter and she loves it. Her room was one of her less favorite places in the house, until this game arrived. It has so many different cool adventures that she can't seem to put it down, it keeps her entertained for hours.

This game includes: Dig Dig Dig.. A tunnel through dirt and stones and reach the bottom before Swiper the fox. Steer clear of the reaaly big rocks! River River Race Adventure.. How quickly can you race Swiper the Fox down the river? Saltador, the jumping star will help you jump over frogs, crocodiles and whirlpools. Rainbow Balloon Race... Sail across the sky rescuing stars and butterflies from Swipers bubble machine. Avoid the grumpy rain clouds along the way! Puzzle Bridge Repair... Oh,no! Swiper the Fox has remove pieces of the bridge and mix them up. Will you help return each piece?.

Another cool thing about this game is that up to 4 players can play to help solve puzzles, win races and stop Swiper the fox. This game is early childhood intended for children 5 and older. My 3 year old has her 10 and 9 year old sisters on her side to help her along the way.

This game was definately worth it and I would highly recommend to all who are thinking of purchasing one. This is definately going to be one of the most requested for Christmas so dont wait till it's sold out buy now.

i just bought this for my daughters 3rd bday and she loves it. the grafics are good considering that its just a plug in and play game. good quality though. the games are easy enough for her to understand and its already midnight and i still cant get her off. i would recomend this to any parent. also teaches shapes and matching plus taking turns and sharing. it has a built in board game..

This review is from: Jakks Dora the Explorer TV Game (Toy)

I've searched everywhere for a video game that is suitable for my 4 year-old. This game was just fine for about 1 week. After that the replay value dropped from an hour to about 5 minutes, before being bored. She really only likes 2 of the 5 games and I agree. The two of the three she doesn't like are INCREDIBLY easy and the other game, "Up the Water Spout" is surprising hard.

There are no instructions, so you have to figure out every move through trial & error. Which can be frustrating for a 4 year-old. I also bought this game for the ability to plug in additional "Game Key" hardware to add more games. However, the company no longer makes these keys and I haven't been able to find a used one anywhere.

It was a good purchase for about 10 days.
