I love LarryBoy and VeggieTales. My son received this game from his grandmother for Christmas. He is a pretty good gamer, however, he regularly needs me to help him complete a level. Moreover it often takes me, an avid gamer, multiple tries to complete the level because LarryBoy falls off of platforms for no reason at all. The control is soft and very inexact - making what should be a basic platformer unbalanced and at times overly difficult. Also, the camera regularly lags behind the action or gives insufficent views of what is happening (such as jumps you are to take or platforms you are to mount).

Finally, on a personal note, I am disappointed by the graphics - which would look excellent on the PS1, but now, at the end of the PS2's lifecycle, we have all come to expect more. I'm especially shocked that a computer animation company wouldn't demand the graphics of this game be closer to the quality of visuals on their computer generated videos.

The bottom line is that my son is still enjoying this game and is still a LarryBoy and VeggieTales fan, but many a young gamer will be unable to play this game entirely by themselves (or without massive frusteration) simply because of sloppy game design.

My 2nd grade boy really enjoys this game. I like to watch him play it because the graphics are colorful and pleasing on the eyes. My only complaint is that, when Larry "dies," sometimes you get sent back quite a ways in the game. That became less of an issue as my son got better at the game control, but frustrating at first. The game was better than I expected it to be.

My kids (ages 6 and 9) enjoy this game and I have been known to jump in and have fun with this game. More challenging for younger kids who are learning memory and sequencing. I would recommend this game to everyone.

My seven-year-old daughter and my twelve-year-old son both love this game. It is fun and challenging, and has kept them quite busy when they are playing it. I have watched them play the game and there isn't anything that I have seen that concerns me as a parent (I am very selective about what video games my kids play and what movies they view on television). I enjoyed watching them play it as much as I do watching them view one of the dvds from the veggietales collection. I would buy this again. Hopefully they will create more veggietale games that I can purchase.

This is an excellent game. My children 7 and 12, both girls have been Veggietale watchers. This game also is enjoyed by a 12 year old boy who visits at our house a lot. Its a great game

Wow how awesome to be able to buy a game that is not a bad influence on my child. I cannot believe some of the games that are out there, but veggietales is a great one:)

Graphics are ok, nothing great. Game is boring and frustrating at times. Very mundane, a lot of "grabbing musical notes". After you have played this game for about 15 minutes, you will never want to hear Alfred's voice again. I would not buy this game again.

My 9-year-old likes this game alot. Our complaint, though, is in the quality of the disk. The game freezes at a particular point. Veggietales gladly replaced the disk, but the 2nd one also freezes at the same point. I have called Crave Entertainment several times over the last 2 weeks to see if it's our equipment. I get a message saying "Sorry our game isn't working, we'll call you back." But so far they haven't called back-the implication being that they have alot of games that don't work! I would return it and get my money back, but my son says it's fun up to that point, and he wants to keep it. I rated it 4 stars for fun, because it is frustrating when the game freezes.

My child loves playing this game and I like him playing it. He has fun, and doesn't think he is learning anything but talks about what he has learned. I love it. I would like more games by VeggieTales for him.

My nephews really have enjoyed playing this game! I like it that it teaches such good values to them and they have fun at the same time! I highly recommend this game for any child!
