Amazon.com Review

Piglet may be small, but not only does he star in his own movie, but he's also got his own video game. Toddle along with him in Piglet's Big Game, as he adventures through his friends' dreams.

The premise is pretty simple, and so are the controls, though you may find those Woozles get the better of you on occasion. While Piglet's friends are sleeping, he enters their dreams and helps them with their troubles--Pooh can't find any honey, Tigger's lost his stripes, and Eeyore's so sad that all the colors have disappeared from his dream. On his journeys to help the gang, Piglet must be very brave and show those pesky Heffalumps and Woozles that he's not afraid. Luckily, Piglet can collect cookies in the oddest of places (popping out of a tree?) and trade them in for brave faces.

The game has nicely-designed, simple, colorful graphics and some of the dreams are quite ingenious. Of course Pooh dreams he lives in a candyland, and it's awfully fun to run through paths of gumdrops and licorice twists. Overall, Piglet's Big Game is an enjoyable romp, though tots may find braving the Woozles quite challenging at times. Stay brave, and attentive, and Piglet will prove his heroism.--Maile Bohlmann

Pros:

• Colorful, fun graphics
• Classic Pooh-and-the-gang characters
• Simple controls for young kids

Cons:

• Crafty, circling Woozles may get the better of young players
• It's necessary to collect all cookies, which can get monotonous

1.0 out of 5 stars This game should be recalled, September 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Piglet's Big Game (Video Game)

I often by children's video games for my 3 tear old daughter to watch me play and "help" by telling me where to go, what to do etc. An avid piglet fan and budding enthusiast of video games, this one literally bored her to sleep. I am a grown adult, with 23+ years of experience in playing video games , with 10+ years as a professional video game tester. I am good at playing games and there is no game I can't beat in record time. One particular bonus level where I had to chase the bad guys and catch them within a very limited amount of time was so difficult that I had to return 43 times. 43TIMES!!!! Now what 6 or 7 year old (probably the oldest age to find Winnie the Pooh entertaining) would enjoy such a pointless task as to have to repeat it so many times. The game control and camera angles are very confusing, the task sequence sends the player pointlessly back and forth throughout the map in a feeble attempt to lengthen the overall play time. If there were any children involced in the testing phase of this game they were neither listened to nor taken seriously, for this game was not very interesting or educational. The graphics were fun and rich, which made the game overly saturated with loading time - there was a lengthy loading pause for every single event that involved more than just walking - every time I walked up stairs, used an item, collected an item, talked to a character, left a room, defeated a bad guy, or anything else like that I had to wait for the loading screen. I just finished the 4th of 6 levels and simply loathe the thought that I will need to finish the rest in order to teach my daughter that quitting is a bad thing. THIS GAME STINKS!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really for little kids, November 4, 2003

I'm not sure what the target audience is, but it's definately not the preschool age. The last level is impossible. But if you are an obsessive compulsive Pooh fan like myself, you will have to get the game. Just don't buy it for your children.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Cute, but Parts Are Too Hard for Kids, December 10, 2003

This game is really quite cute. There is a great deal of imagination behind the design of the different levels, but some of the "boss battles" at the end of levels are just too hard for kids. Having to do 5 or 6 different key combinations SIX different times under a time limit is just too much to ask.
