V Tech - V.Smile Smartridge: Shrek 2

I bought this game for my son who just turned five because I thought it may be challenging for him. He loves the SpongeBob game which is also age 6 to 8 and it has lasted him a very long time and provided lots of entertainment. So I thought I should go for the 6 to 8 range again but this is a little different from SpongeBob. This is like a role-playing game and Shrek can be difficult to maneuver sometimes, especially for a child.... it's tough for me sometimes and I'm an adult! Shrek doesn't seem to be where it looks like he is in the game. For instance there is a game with a dragon that breathes fire balls and you have to shoot at the correct fireball but you can't touch the fireball or else you get hurt. It was almost impossible for me to get the correct angle in order to shoot these fireballs without touching them and it was more frustrating than anything. It always "looked" like Shrek was in the right place, but then you shoot and it's going nowhere near the target.
When first playing the game I thought it may be too difficult for him and was a little worried but after playing for one day, he beat almost every game on there and on the 2nd day he beat all of them.
Another thing that was kind of disappointing was that most of the games just repeat everything over again in the exact same order every time... So if he doesn't actually learn the things it's asking you to do, it doesn't matter because he just memorizes the answers and wins that way.
Some games are so short that you only had to play it once to memorize all the answers which seems kind of ridiculous.
I also thought the graphics would be much better.

So this was a fun game but only the first time.

My son loved playing with his V Tech, even after we got his Wii. I liked the fact that V Tech made learning fun. My son loved doing the math cartridges the most, but enjoyed playing all the games. It's really hard to get children to enjoy learning, but who doesn't love Shrek, Batman, and Thomas!
