This review is from: Vtech - V.Smile - Shrek the Third: Arthur's School Day Adventure (Toy)

My granddaughter has several of the V.smile cartridges and this is the most difficult as far as user input. Controlling the direction that you want the character to move is nigh on to impossible!! As soon as you think you know what the game is using for directions(forward, backward, etc.)it will change. It is VERY frustrating for adults as well as the children it is supposed to be created for. There seems to be good educational value here if it could just be accessed.

I would recommend Dora, The Backyardigans, & The Little Mermaid as better alternitives.

As far as learning is it not worth the investment. Its short and not well designed... overall a quick 30 mins not really worth the money... I had hoped for something better, my son enjoys it for entertainment value but as an educational game it fails.

One of the best items I have bought my grandkids, they spend time improving their hand eye coordinations, following directions and having fun at the same time.
