Customer Reviews

Good fun for all Dora fans
This is one of many games recently bought for my 4 year old and she loves it. There are 4 story mode sections each comprising about 20 mini games you have to go through - to be honest the mini games in story mode are all very similar so is relatively easy but that is part of the fun of this game. You will not be buying this game for the challenges it would provide but simply because it is a Dora game. Has provided hours of fun for my daughter and even though she has more grown up games, this is one she goes back to time and again. It is probably a little overpriced for what it is but there are no other Dora DS games available and my daughter would not be without it - whenever she goes out on long journeys, this is one game which always goes with her. If you have a Dora fan, then this game is a must.

Great game, though doesn't last long enough!
This game was brought for my 3 and a half year old daughter as her first DS game, even though she had never played a DS game before, she completed this within about 20mins! She throughly enjoyed it, but after about a week, it was traded in!!
The game consists of mini games that you can play in story mode (just certain games in a certain order) and free play, you can practise any game!
It's mostly about 95% stylus use with the occasional microphone use.

So overall this is a good game, just a little too short and should really be cheaper and not really for anyone over the age of 4, though this is a shame as I bet there is loadsa Dora fans out there!

Good game for 3-5yr olds, who can't read yet.
Bought this for my 3yr old as a birthday present and she had finished the entire game within an hour!! Very limited and very easy but perfect for children who can't read yet. My initial feeling on this game was it was too easy, but she does keep playing it and doesn't seem to get bored. It's a good game for 3-5yr olds.
