Customer Reviews

For kids under 4 who have never played Diego!
If you have ever played Diego's Safari game and your child is 3 or maybe 4 years old you could try this game. It is EXACTLY like the Diego game except its Dora. My 5 year old who loves Dora didn't even want to finish it past 20 minutes because she says "its the same as diego mom its so boring" and it is the same! The screen looks the same, same fuctions, even the appearance is very similar except its in girl colors!

I think the Diego is a great game for smaller kids getting used to the wii, but if youve played it before, this is about 90% exactly like it!

This game is a lot of fun for a young child
It's difficult to find a game that young kids can easily play. Fortunately this is one. My daughter had NO problem picking up the controller and playing the game. She actually had FUN with the Wii and we got some use out of it. Great game.

Too Easy
This game is too easy. My 5 year old completed it in 2 hours of game time. Not very much time for the money. No levels. Once you save the princess it is done. The only thing that was good was that there are no creatures chasing or trying to get you and the "witch" is really mild. It was perfect for my daughter, just wish I had rented it instead.
