My daughter got this game when she was 2 1/2. She loves it! She can actually play it all on her own. We found that the Dora game was a little too hard for her because of all of the joystick use. A lot of the Elmo game can be played by simply using the jump button to move and the colored buttons for the small games. There are also harder levels that would be appropriate for her to grow into or for an older child. I think this game is much better suited for a child aged 2-3 than the game that comes with the Vsmile. She gets too frustrated with that one. I would have given it 5 stars, but the only flaw I see is that Elmo is very hard to understand. A lot of the times she can figure out what he is saying but no always. That's just Elmo though. He's always been a little hard to understand.

My 2 1/2 year old loves this elmo game. She plays it almost every day. This game is in the middle for her. It is not to hard and it is not so easy to where she can zip through it. Unlike the other games that she has, this game is also fun to watch. My little boy just loves watching this game. He do not know how to play yet. He is only 1 1/2! I must admit, before you buy this game make sure your child loves elmo. Why? I notice that my little girl only likes this elmo game. We own at least 6 V-Smile games. Care Bears, Pooh bear, Barney, Bob the builder, Elmo and the art studio. The only two games that are very good is the Elmo and Barney. As far as Bob the builder, this game is hard! One of the small games that they want you to do is to go around the house looking for each tool. Such as a ranch! what 3 year old would know what that is? This elmo game tops all of them! I dont know if it is because she loves elmo on TV. One last thing... What ever you do please don't get the silly Care Bear game. This game is also horrible. The barney game is really good my son can play this game when I place it on the easy mode. This makes him so happy that he can play with his big sister.
I notice when I read other authors reviews, it helps me make a choice on the next game to get. I stress for you all to read the reviews if you don't you be disappointed.
I forgot to talk about the game that the system comes with. I think it's called.... ?
My little girl loves this game also! she can do every game on the easy mode.

After buying my daughter (will be 3 in one month) the Care Bears game and found that it was EXTREMELY difficult even for my 5 year old son (before he attended kindergarten), I decided to look for something with a character that is generally aimed at the 3ish age group. This game is excellent in that the 4 colored buttons are generally used instead of the joystick. The numbers sections are excellent and my daughter does really well with them. The only problem with the shapes section of the learning zone is that it really is about patterns, and not about shapes at all. The biggest problem I found is that for the letters section, Elmo assumes that your child already knows his or her letters. How many 3 year olds can actually differentiate between or identify a "b" and a "p" or a "c" and "g", etc. At this age, it's not going to help a kid to sit them down and walk away, an adult or older child needs to sit with them to help them out with the game until they have really mastered it. Overall, I definitely like this Elmo game compared to some of the other games we have. I have also heard the Barney game is similar in that the 4 colored buttons are the main controllers.
