Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom - Nintendo Wii

My son loves this game. He is 4. Great little game for small children. I imagine that kids over 5 years, especially boys, might not be so interested in this. Part of the fun is the way the child has to manipulate the wii remote to make things happen. Dora's voice explains how to hold or move the remote to make her character advance, for example, climb up a ladder. Also, working through the paths and finally obtaining a crystal is exciting for the kids. Overall, very fun and nice game for a little child, especially one who likes Dora.

will not play, a real dissappointment, grand daughter couldnt believe it. Be careful what you buy. It may not work

My almost 4yr old loves this game! It was really easy for her to learn and play on her own. The motions and controls for the game were simple and they show a small video example in the bottom corner of the screen demonstrating what the motion should look like when they are required to do a new move. Dora never "dies" in the game, which I appreciate for the age group to which this game is geared. I would highly recommend this game overall. The only con I can think of to mention is the pixelation of the game. I wish that it was formatted in high definition for better viewing and graphics, however for a 3/4yr old, that really is the least of her concerns.

Another great version of the Dora and Diego games for young children. We bought the originals while we were searching for simple wii games our young children could play independently.Very simple controls, very simple levels. They can miss getting half of the items and still complete the level without having to go back.The controls are identical between the games, just with different backgrounds and stories, my 4 year old can play this independantly and it has a mode which will let an older childen or parent "assist", as well as sets of racing games that they can play together. My children go back and play through levels all the time.If you want a game for your 3-7 year old to learn how to play on the wii by themselves, this is your game. I was thrilled to see the new titles in the series and will continue to reccommend this game to other parents.

I saw this game at the apple store and my daughter liked it, so I figured she would like it on the Wii. The PC game is better and more educational.

4 year old loves the game. 7 year old hates it and thinks it's stupid.. Game is very short and the older kids can conquer it easy

I have a 3 yr old daughter and she had come home from a friends saying that she had played this game and liked it...which got me thinking maybe she was ready. So, I took a leap and got this game for her for Christmas. I'm impressed! The game is forgiving of her movements and with no "enemies" and the inability to fall off cliffs Dora can't "die". Overall there was minimal frustration for her (and for us) and we only had to help with a couple of things which she has now learned how to do. Oh!--and the music, NOT Annoying!*In a nutshell, she's happy and we're happy!

I chose this because my daughter loves the Dora Birthday Wii game. She knows pretty well how to play this one because in some ways it's similar. She is only 3 and can play it really well. It's a great fun game for young girls!
