Preschoolers on a PlayStation? Normally we wouldn't put both words in the same sentence. But before you run out and buy this CD for your young Teletubbies fan, be aware that it has some limitations. The game starts with the four Teletubbies, all lined up in a row. You use the right hand controls to move a Teletubby around the screen. It doesn't really matter which one you choose, as each lets you discover the same things. Once you've grabbed your Teletubby, you move him or her around Teletubbyland, where you discover 11 activities. Nearly all of these are simple causal games, letting toddlers press any key to make something happen on the screen. For example, in the Hiding game, you steer your Teletubby to another Teletubby that is hiding nearby. Once all are found, they give each other a group hug. The main problem with the program is that kids get lost in the Teletubbies' world. There is no connection between the icons and the activities that they launch, and once inside an activity, it is impossible to exit. Children play for two minutes, and then are automatically ejected back into the Teletubbies' world. This is too bad, because nearly all of the games are responsive and fun. The good news is that because it is easy to control the Teletubbies, kids stay glued to the program. Also noteworthy are the wonderful, full-screen, full-motion video clips, taken directly from the Teletubbies show. The bottom line: if your child loves Teletubbies and you have a PlayStation, get this disk. But be prepared to spend time helping.

I am waiting for this to come out for sale soon. I rented it at Blockbuster recently. I have a 1 1/2 old girl and she loves this game. It took her no time to understand she can control the characters. I couldn't believe how easily she played the game. One of four buttons is for each character, she can choose which one she wants to be. Then she goes through Telletubby land, playing games and talking to other Tubbies. This game is great for any kid one year to four. She screams as we drive by Blockbuster nowadays. She loves this game

I have never seen the Teletubbies in any adventure this boring. My 5 year old was bored with it within 10-15 minutes. I think it's "back to the drawing board" for this one!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is the WORST ever!, November 14, 2000

This review is from: PLAYSTATION TELETUBBIES (Video Game)

My 5-year-old daughter has a number of cd-rom's and she's quite capable. My 2-year-old son wanted something that was easier and I thought this looked like a great introductory disc. DO NOT BUY THIS DISC. It is absolutely the worst cd-rom in my disc organizer. In fact, to save myself from further frustration, I am throwing it in the garbage right now! I don't know how anyone could review this disc with positives. My son has gotten the hang of the mouse and the discs now and he plays mostly Sesame Street programs and DK P.B. Bear discs. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
