Editorial Review

Winnie the Pooh has enjoyed a surprise resurgence in popularity lately--and thus it should come as no surprise that this quaint Game Boy release has emerged as a sleeper hit for the handheld system. Everybody loves Winnie the Pooh--and the masterminds behind this game know it. Pooh is packed with games aimed mostly at younger players.

Players start by picking from one of seven characters including Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, and Piglet. Start in your character's house and explore a huge world, complete with hidden paths. Along the road, you'll encounter friends who will give you cards, which you can use when playing board games. Other cards, like the seedling card, can be planted and nourished with water-can cards.

Besides games like catching acorns and exercising, characters will face adventures, such as Pooh rescuing Piglet from a waterfall. The completed adventures then become part of players' storybooks to be relived again. The games are simplistic and usually a matter of moving from space to space, but it all adds up to an entertaining package, especially for young children. But we won't tell anyone if you are a bit older. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Fun cast of characters
• Games are simple yet fun

Cons:

• Older kids will tire of its elementary nature

This review is from: Winnie the Pooh: Adventures in the 100 Acre Woods (Game Cartridge)

I am a Pooh fanatic- this is the whole reason I bought a Game Boy Color, and I wasn't disappointed. The graphics and sounds are absolutely delightful, and the game is very fun and easy to play, while still being challenging for adult Pooh fans. Playing as Pooh, you explore the 100 Acre woods, playing games and meeting all your friends along the way, like Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Gopher, Kanga, and Roo. Rescue Piglet when he finds himself entirely surrounded by water, or help him gather acorns. There is so much to see and do! I can't recommend this game highly enough- if you have a young child or even an adult Pooh lover, you need this game!

This review is from: Winnie the Pooh: Adventures in the 100 Acre Woods (Game Cartridge)

This game should be perfect for young children, but isn't. It requires at least a 1st grade reading level and even us adults had trouble figuring out how to move from place to place. I found this game to be incredibly disappointing and would not recommend it to anyone. My 5 year old was so upset that she couldn't make it work. My recommendation: try the Arthur or the Blues Clues games instead if you are buying for a young child.
