5.0 out of 5 stars Kinect game for kids done right! September 18, 2012

By GRAVITONMATRIX

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I just finished an hour of playing this Interactive TV show with my four-year old daughter. First of all, the game actually works! This should be a given with any game, but so many Kinect games simply have poor motion detection. This one is very sensitive, which is great when you have young kids who are not extremely adept at maneuvering. One segment has a mirror appear on screen, reflects your child and then the character on-screen changes into a shirt that matches the color of the shirt your child is wearing. This impressed even a hard-core gamer such as myself. As with any Kinect game, being in a well-lit room is required.

The interactive TV shows are very entertaining. There is more watching than interacting, but it this billed as an interactive TV show more than it is a game, so I'll not dock it for that. The graphics are great, audio is excellent and, again, the controls work very well. There are two discs of content and each show has a good number of chapters which you can stop and restart at any time. If you have a Kinect and have kids who love Sesame Street, this is a must have "Game". You will have a blast watching your kids interact with their favorite characters, yell and point when they see clues they are told to look for and clap with excitement when their favorite character appears on screen to play with them. My daughter loves it, she is pulling at me to play more as I type. Maybe one more round before bedtime... OK, so it is pretty fun for adults as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect first game for 2-6 year old children September 20, 2012

By Steve Foster

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

This is one of those things where once you see it, you immediately lament not having had it in your own childhood! The episodes can be enjoyed interactively, or passively, and are well thought out. The pacing of it even is simultaneously clever yet educational, for example there was one part of an episode which had my 2 year old jumping very actively, and the section immediately following had them stand still while the count, well, counted to a specific number. This is neither a "game" nor a "TV Show" but a really neat merging of the two in to something else entirely. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interactive TV September 19, 2012

By Gene Kobalova

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

This arrived in the mail just before bedtime and we tried out an episode. It is, as billed, not a game, but interactive TV which is really cool. It's mostly watching but with audience participation and you never know when you will appear on the screen. The motion sensor worked surprisingly well and shoots pictures and even places you into Elmo's World. My 4.5 year old loved it and the 1 year old gt excited too. All children's TV should be interactive like this!
