If you have a 3-10 year old that struggles with the faster morechallenging games on the n64, this may satisfy. Otherwise avoid. Theplayers (characters from the TV show) are rendered in low res 3d graphics that are annoying to look at and dimly colored compared to the cartoon. The 4 different 'hunts' play like a board game with the computer taking the palce of a missing player. Spinning for turns and waiting for the computer to move is agonizingly slow.

This game is the most not fun game that n64 has ever put out. I am not kidding you have wasted your money if you buy this game or even rent it for a dollar. The game lacks any reward for beating it's levels and is not fun. The graphics are not good and the gameplay is horrible. Sure this may be good for a few little kiddies who just want to see their favorite nicktoons in a video game but, if you are looking for a fun and exciting game, this is not it.

I was looking foward to this, mainly because I like the Rugrats show. At the time this game was released (about June 1999) the Rugrats TV show had pretty much become a show for kids only with nothing redeeming for older audiences. With that in mind, the Rugrats license didn't need a game like this. This game tries to cash in on the success of Mario Party, but it fails to do that. Why? This is just a normal board game, which is all fine and dandy, but there's absolutely nothing to make you want to play this again. It has no mini-games like Mario Party. It has only one, count it, one play mode, and because of that, the replay value is really low. Even the four-player mode can't reedem it. But that's not all. The graphics are so bad for N64. I've seen PS1 games that look better then this, and those games came out years before this one! Why THQ didn't support the Expansion Pak is beyond me. I think it would have helped. The biggest problem (that I also stated above) is that the game is literaly over before it begins, and being priced at almost any dollar amount, this game is a rip-off. It may have been worth it if it was priced at a low dollar amount, but I wouldn't bet on it. There is some good though: The sounds and voices are nice, the controls are very simple, and the Rumble Pak feature is nice. But since it's so short and boring, it destroys all the fun. I know THQ was trying to aim this at young kids who aren't good at video games, but they failed even on that level. Games like Tigger's Honey Hunt (also on N64), are made for young kids in mind, but are also enjoyable for older audiences (and games like that usually have more replay value). Even for its target audience, there is no fun to be had here. Skip this and let your kids try Tigger's Honey Hunt instead. But if you really need a Rugrats game, get Search For Reptar on PS1. It's the best Rugrats game out there (though that's not saying much) and it has much more replay value then this.

I purchased a Nintendo 64 for my 6 and 9-year-old nieces approximately 18 months ago after raving about how great the system was and how much fun they were going to have playing with it. The mistake I made was purchasing (AT FULL PRICE) the WORST game in video game history!!! These poorly animated characters do nothing more than go around in a circle while trying to find "treasure" pieces-and that's it folks! It's the dullest most boring mind numbing thing they have ever played! Thank goodness I made up for it by getting them another game, any other game is better than this one! It is, without doubt, the biggest waste of money I have spent for any game or toy that I can remember. A pet rock is more fun!

My children(ages 6 and 8) and I agree that this game is dreadful. It is very slow moving and there is no skill involved. It's like watching someone else play "Chutes and Ladders". You have VERY LITTLE impact on how the game proceeds and that frustrates even the youngest child.

I bought this game for my 5 year old brother. He liked it... for the first 10 min. The graphics are reminiscent to Atari 2600 and the gameplay is very poor. I get more fun out of watching my grandma change her dentures. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, & Lil look more like smears. The fun factor is ludicris! Don't waste your money!

Unfortunately, we paid full price for this game. And even more sad, gave it to our poor little boy for Christmas! He was very disapointed, and so were we. I can not give this game away!!!! Don't even rent it!

Called in Australia "Treasure Hunt". I bought this on the basis of the TV show, as would most people. My 6 year old was quite excited.

We feel totally let down. It was VERY expensive ($A99) and is BORING. It held his interest for about an hour, before he was out of there! We play traditional board games for longer than this - and the game play in this is slower than a board game where you move the pieces yourself.

Just don't waste your money. It was an expensive lesson to check amazon reviews before buying in future! END

This game is a boring board game that will give no joy! The 3D graphics are the poorest I ever seen. The Average person will scream when you take a look at Didi's Hair!! UGHHHH! The fact that you can only choose 3 games makes this game pitiful. You will have my greatest symphanthy when you buy this game. Great choices would be all three of the Mario Parties. I play lots of Video games. Trust me, this one you need to avoid.

Youre Child may love the show but the game is the very different from the shows I mean can you even beat the game you would have to be a Pro to beat it and its a 5 year old game!!.... A Bugs Life is worth more then this.

Dont rent or buy this game.
