Finally a real video game for my 3 year old
I've been anxious for my 3 year old daughter to play video games as an inside leisure activity when I can't spend direct, continuous time with her. I prefer her actively doing something rather than passively watching a DVD. But the video game options are either poor quality (Leapster) or just too hard for a 3 year old.

This game is really the first game she's been able to pick up easily and also enjoy for more than a few plays. It was made for preschoolers. The controls are pretty easy. Tilt left and right to move Diego, press '2' to jump and other actions, and then a series of Wiimote motions to do things like climb a ladder or hose off Diego. It's fairly repetitive which is a feature for a 3 year old.

It requires some adult supervision to get through the menus and whenever a new event takes place. And occasionally she's get stuck in some spots. But for the most part she can play on her own ("Go away daddy. I don't need help."). I hope Take 2 continues to put out games focused on this age range.

So much fun!
Update--my 3 1/2 year old, has completed the game after a week of playing no more than 30 minutes a day!!!....it's not very long at all --I'm a little disappointed at the length of the game for 39.99! ...even though I'm sure he'll still enjoy playing it.

Original Review--I have two kids, a very focused 3yo that can play this game forever if I didn't stop him, and a 4 yo that could usually play with everything but for no longer than 5 minutes, and SHE loves this game too!!!! Keeps them both entertained...great for hand, eye coordination. And a great tool to get them to their chores! I wish there were more preschool games like this one. I gave it 5 star for fun and entertainment, and 4 star for the price. I play Wii and I can understand why some games that are very detailed oriented, with many steps may cost, 39.99 and over. But I don't believe that such a repetitive game for preschoolers should cost so much!

FABULOUS!
I've been waiting for this game to come out so that my 4 year old son can play Wii. He likes the bowling, but that is pretty much all he understood to play using the Wiimote. Until now! This game is great and well thought out! My son can use the Wiimote independently, although sometimes he requires a little "help" as to what action to take(and the programmers even added that little help from an adult using a second Wiimote). But he certainly can play the game "on his own." From an adult perspective, this game is well designed, takes into account all of the subtle elements of the Diego cartoon - even a Wii action to say "Freeze Bobos!" Fabulous game!
