role-playing

Dora is great. The graphics are very good on GB advance. The story is true to the show. Kids know the characters so they liked it immediately. I bought it for my 5 yr old girl who has never played video games before and she liked it right away. Its a standard side scrolling game that is easy to control. This is a great way to start video gaming as some Nintendo titles can frustrate small childern. My 4 and 6 year old boys like this game also.

When I was looking at the ratings for this game I saw that it had been awarded only 3 starts by reviewers. I almost clicked out but then decided to read the reviews (which were stellar). It seems that some of the people who raved about the game did not enter a star score (all stars blank). The summary star rating should probably be much higher. I would imagine that the producers of this game might be upset.

We bought our daughter a Gameboy Advance SP for Christmas 2003, and she had just turned 3. We bought several games to go with it, such as "Spirit", "Nemo", and "Muppets-On With the Show". But the Dora game is the best, she played all the way through with very little difficulty and only asked for help a couple times, I was impressed! Nemo is pretty good for her, but she has only mastered two of it's levels, but this one is just amazing and keeps her interested for a very long time. If you're looking for games for your 3 year old, like I am, this one is definitely the one. If you have any suggestions for other games that I can buy for my 3 year old, please e-mail me!
