Customer Reviews

Up (Nintendo DS)
My daughter aged 7 found this game quite complicated to use & very limited. You have to pass the first level before you can move on & unlike the other games where you have several different options so you can play lots of different games, you only seemed to be able to do the one game & we never managed to move onto the next level.

Early days, but so far so good
My son is just turned 6. He has had this for a couple of days now. It's OK so far. The annoying thing about these DS games is that you have to read the subtitles to your child at this young age which means you can't leave them to it for half an hour and get on with something else, like driving the car, or preparing a meal - so many interruptions of "Mummy what does this say"! You would think that they could make ones that speak the instructions in this day and age wouldn't you. like a lot of his educational CD-ROMS.

Don't bother
This game is about as entertaining as watching paint dry. My six year old played it twice before telling me to trade it in so don't bother buying it in the first place.
