great !!

i got this game for my 4 yr old to see how he wouod get on with the ds and he loves this game. there is quite a bit of reading so i sit with him and read for him, once i tell him what it says he can carry on and play with it himself. now when different coloured boxes appear he recognises when he has a new badge etc.. it would have been more helpful for the ds to say more rather than having to read for the little ones. he loved looking after each character and then new doors opening for new characters. he picked it up pretty quick but def needed some help to get him started. hes had it over a month and not bored of it yet....though he does only play it every couple of days. |

Entertaining for anyone

My 3 year old cousin loves this game. He asks for his ds all the time and this (and nintendogs) is the only thing he plays. The graphics are good. At the beginning the instructions aren't quite clear and it doesn't say where Tinker bells shop is and it took me and my cousin half an hour to find it. The first person you see is a little LGM. My cousin laughed and laughed and laughed because if you say 'hello' or 'i love you' it says that back. You get to feed stroke interact with your friend and go on missions. I think it is a really good game for 3+ and older!!!!!!! |

A little tricky for small 'uns

Well we got this after much pestering from our little girl who is 3, it soon had to go back to the shop!
Our problem was the instructional text, there was too much of it and even after I played it and explained it too her, it was still too hard and she also wanted to just play with the Winnie the Pooh character, who isn't available at the beginning! Even after she got used doing the easy jobs such as talking, playing, feeding etc, the mini games also had too much text and required her to use both the stylus and the d-pad, which for her little hands is too much!
But from what I played of the game, it is quite a good game and would be great for older children, who have a basic reading level and love Disney characters!

Drives me mad!!

Whilst this game is OK, it requires far too much reading for the recommended age 3+. My daughter is 5 and just starting to read, but this text is so tiny, and so long-winded she doesn't stand a chance. So every 30 seconds I am called over to help, and quite honestly, if I have have to tell her to tickle Pooh one more time... |

Watch the certificates
(December 30, 2007) |

I can understand that this game has a 3+ certificate due to the nature of the game (it contains no swearing, violence, etc etc). It is a game for kids.
BUT don't make the mistake we did, we assumed that the 3+ rating meant that a child of 3 or older could play the game without any problem.
However this isn't the case. My 5 (nearly 6) y.o. was given this game as a present for Christmas, but he can't read all the instructions that come on screen. If we'd known that this would effect the game play quite so much, he might have been bought a different game, that was more fun for him to play.
Having said that, the game is easy to play, just remember that you'll probably have to help explain a lot of what is being asked, and what the various tasks that need to be solved are about. |
