Don't waste your money on this one. It is ridiculous to expect a child to be able to play this game by using keyboard commands. My daughter is 8-years-old and very computer capable. She found this game completely frustrating. I usually take my lumps in life, but this game was such a complete waste of money that I am writing to THQ, Nickelodeon, and the corporate offices of ...(the store where my daughter bought this software with gift money) with the hope that someone out there will refund her money.

This game is way too frustrating for any age group. I played it with my 6-year old nephew and 10-year-old niece, and none of us can use the keyboard well enough to succeed.

The game works like a Super Mario Brothers arcade of ladders and roadblocks. The problem is that the keyboard commands do not respond well and a mouse is not supported. If you don't hit the spacebar-cursor key combination just right, you fall when trying to jump, and each time you fall, you must redo a very long sequence of moves to get back to where you left off. This becomes boring and extremely frustrating--leaving the 6-year-old near tears, the 10-year-old banging keys, and me wondering how this game ever made it past the testing stage.

THQ, the manufacturer, makes a lot of games for all the popular video game machines. Perhaps with a video game controller, this game can play well, but it does not translate to a computer keyboard.

I have a brother, an autistic but smart one, and he loves rugrats and liked the "all growed up" tv special, so we thought this'll be good for him, because he loves kids' computer games, and it looked so easy on the commercial, so we decided to give it a try.
It was extremely hard, and it took him a long time to memorise which key did what, and how to jump without dying. This really upset him, and I think I should give him Jumpstart games from now on.

I love this game!! It's the best!! You can play the 'growed' up Rugrats in an thrilling adventure and you can also play all the new characters like Kimi and Dil! That's what I love about the game 'cause Kimi is my fav character.

Rugrats all growed up is so funny and interesting! Its so neat to see how the rugrats look and ACT when they are 12 years old! Its very neat seeing how the rugrats have changed so much since they were babies.
