This is my first review on Amazon...and I have been a customer from the very beginning (when it was only books).

My 4 & 1/2 year old LOVES this game!! He is a Stuart Little fan..and has tried to play the Stuart Little 2 Game for the PSOne for a year now..and has now just gotten the hang of it. This Stuart Little 3 Game is PERFECT for him!! Graphics are good...sound effect are good...and game play is PERFECT!

There is a goal in the game to take pictures for a project Stuart ruined for George...but the best part is...there are HOURS of fun in this game even without staying with the main goal of the game! He can ride Quad Bikes, Skateboards, Blimps, Windsurfers, BMX Bikes, and Tanks...all by just going into the Garage to get them. You can also turn into a Fireman, Photographer, and wear the rain slicker. There are many surprises and things to do...even Mini Golf with Mr. Stout. The only thing I needed to help him with so far was a Quad Bike Race...which took me 3 times to win (remember...stick to the inside on the corners).

This game offer so much for a young player. My son loves Lego Star Wars, and any racing games. Most everything else is to hard (like the SpongeBob games) or too easy (like the Mickey Mouse Games). This one is perfect for him. I only wish there were more games that were as open ended in their gameplay as this one. I highly recommended it. But...always limit games playing in this age group. My sons Occupational Therapist thinks that 30 minutes of game play is good for coordination and problem solving...but longer than that can be problematic.

In a day and age where the majority of decent games have some sort of mature theme, it's rare to see a game for kids that isn't about tickling hippos and hopping over goo. Stuart Little 3: Big Photo Adventure is a quality kid's game, but it won't appeal to anyone over the 10-year-old mark.

Stuart Little, the cute adopted mouse, has accidentally ruined his big brother's photo assignment and now it's his job to run around The Big Apple taking new photos. To do so, he'll use various costumes, operate several vehicles, and participate in a few mini-games.

The game itself is very simple. The easy controls have Stuart's jump button mapped to X and whenever another button needs to be pressed, a prompt will tell you so. For example, speaking to another character requires Stuart to stand in a specific area and the player to press a specific button. It's that simple.

Taking pictures isn't as simple, and the process of taking one is where I found myself agitated with SL3. In order to take a photo, Stuart has to collect little orbs of light called "flashes" that are scattered around the game's large areas. Flashes fill up Stuart's "Flash meter" and only after what seems like a million of them are collected can Stuart take a single picture. I'd estimate that it took me five to fifteen minutes to find enough orbs to take a single picture, and then it was back to square one--you can easily see what most of the gameplay time is spent doing. SEGA might have wanted kids to explore the levels, and I understand that, but it gets really old.

The levels in Stuart Little are littered with different mini-games. You can play mini-golf, race with hovercrafts and go-karts, and more. These are a good addition to the game because they serve as an attention-grabber when collecting orbs gets too annoying. The mini-golf is especially fun, but the swing and ball physics aren't anything I'd call realistic. To open up different areas in each level, Stuart will have to use several different costumes, each with their own utilities. For example, Stuart's Native American costume allows him to shoot arrows. His skateboarder outfit lets him skate around and do tricks and grind rails.

Stuart Little 3 has colorful, cute visuals that kids will enjoy. They're not super-realistic or anything; they're very cartoonish. Some of the character models could have used some work--it looks like Snowball, the family's cat, got hit in the face by a truck. His face looks very flat. Still, the game doesn't look bad. The sound is a different story--I never felt that the music was appropriate for the levels, and the voice acting is off a little bit. Still, a kid won't know the difference, and that's what matters.

For $20, there isn't a better children's game on the market. Though it's tedious to this 18-year-old gamer to collect little orbs of light to take a single photo, a child could and probably would really enjoy the gameplay found here. It's clean, harmless fun.

Having just purchased the Sonic Riders, my grandson loved this game; however, he saw this picture advertised of Stuart Little and I got the game, and he played this game for 3 hours. He had two new Sponge Bob movies he set aside - he loved this game more than even Sonic and Shadow and it is an action game as well and so many different features, it was fun to watch, the art work was beautiful and the colors, but this adorable little mouse and cat - riding in a heliocopter and little cars - it is absolutely adorable. When a little kid says "it is awesome" believe me, its worth a 1,000 words...and this game is awesome. I am sick of the violence and the viciousness of some of these games they are trying to push onto children......Wonder someday will the kids ever go back to Mickey Mouse or when Disney died - did Mickey and our children's childhood go with him? This game is for kids from 4 to 50......everyone enjoyed it, just watching my grandson was a treat....a return to just plain fun.
