Our grandson is an AF Academy cadet. His little brother (7), who is mildly autistic, had a ball with this one (of many) particular Christmas gift as he is aware that his big brother and father also hold private pilot's licenses.

With this game he, too, can fantacize the joy of flight.

Normally, I can't stand the games my kids pick out, especially those with tie-ins to movies & other entertainment brands (which is a lot of them, to be honest). But this one is pretty terrific. While it's a little weird to see Snoopy and Woodstock and the gang actively blowing stuff up (I always considered Peanuts a pretty peaceful comic, despite Snoopy's WWI fantasies), the visuals are beautifully rendered, and the feel of it somehow does capture the sort of innocent maturity I've always loved about Peanuts. I've probably logged more time playing it than the kids, at this point. I particulary love the "home base" setting... there's almost nothing more relaxing than flying around the Peanuts "neighborhood" at sunset with that lovely Vince Guaraldi-inspired music playing gently underneath.

One of my boys bought this game for his brother, last year, and we're still having a ball with it. My 6-year-old can play it, and his 9 and 13-year-old brothers have thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Even a 40-something Dad can get some hours fun out of it, ahem. :)

My 7-year old son and my husband both have lots of fun playing this game. The graphics are good and they seem to really enjoy it.

In snoopy vs. the red baron you play as flying ace snoopy, woodstock, and the rest of the peanuts gang. Normally you fly around various places attacking the flying circus and finally the baron himself. You battle in various places (Aerodrome Island, Woods of Montsec, Front lines of Verdon, Mines of the Matterhorn, Verdon Gorge, and Flying Fortress)and with various weapons(sky rockets, woodstock missles, baloon launcher, potato gun, the stinger, flame boomerang, lightning rod, roman candles, snow blower,10 gauge pumpkin, and of course your machine-gun).

Great game for all snoopy fans. The only thing is it's hard to navigate using the mouse or keyboard. You really need a joystick to play this game and enjoy it.

purchased this for my 8 year old son...he was not interested in it. I put it away. At about 9 and a half he picked it up again....Loves it and has been playing it for almost a year.

My children love playign this game, even in the training mode its a ton of fun.

I LOVE this game. I mean, Everything's great! I love the secondary weapons. My personal favorite so far is the Flame Boomarang. I can't ssem to beat the second level of Vrdon Gorge. I mean, that huge cannon toward the beginning fires shells so fast that i can't avoid them. I don't like that you gave Linus and Marcie 2 machine guns in Multiplayer. I like Charlie Brown. I beat up Lucy, the Red Baron, Snoopy,and Pepermint Patty with Charlie Brown easily.

Seems like a fun game but be warned. YOU MUST GIVE YOUR KIDS ADMINISTRATIVE PRIVILAGES ON YOUR COMPUTER TO PLAY THIS GAME. Only someone who enjoys repairing (or reinstalling) their operating system and removing computer viruses would give their kids such access.
