I ordered this for my 5 year old sister, who's always been curious of what XBOX games are about. She can handle getting around, but doesnt quite get the idea of the game or the goals of the levels. Nice simple maps and simple "enemies" make it perfect though for anyone as long as they're old enough to understand how to use the controller.

I bought this game without having any high expectations for it, and we have been pleasantly surprised. For kids, this is good family fare and it's easy enough for even newer gamers to play (think play dates here, where sometimes the guest-child hasn't played but wants to try). True, it won't take 6 months to get through the whole thing, but there is a lot of value I think in having some games that are challenging yet relaxing and fun as well.

I like the fact that the kids have to "think" as they go through the screens, since there are various puzzles and projects that have to be completed so they can advance. You could blow through the game by doing just the minimum required, but my kids enjoyed really exploring the areas to make sure they hadn't missed anything before they completed the level.

NOTE: the very first level screen is an aerial dogfight where you have to shoot down 4 enemy planes to advance. The controls are "flight-simulator-style" (toggle up on the controller moves the plane down, etc.) and my kids had difficulty mastering the movement required to get the plane flying right so they could shoot down the enemies. They were starting to get a little frustrated so they called in a more experienced pilot (DAD!) to finish that one screen so they could go on. Once they moved onto the next screen they were off!

I bought this game to play with my 4-year old, and it is a perfect first game for kids. The game play is not too difficult, and the multi-player mode makes it so that we can work together through the whole game. We recently bought a few other games, and all she wanted to do was play the mini games, since this was the only way more than one person could play. During the story mode of the other games she would just get frustrated and have me do the tricky parts for her.

Good game for kids, though i wanted something easy for my wife and some parts are not!. AKA the dogfight in the beginning!

I bought this game used. It was a great buy. My boy and I played it for over an hour the first time. It is his first game that uses a controller for Xbox 360. He figured the controls out pretty fast. It is a bit repetitive, but it is a nicely set up game. The graphics are good, soundtrack is awesome, good voice acting with funny sayings, and of course you get to play as Dug. Pick this up for Christmas. My boy is 4 and he loves it. It is also a welcome game of innocence. Too many gross games out there. Glad that there are a few clean ones for children left. My lady and I played it for about 3 hours the first night after "lil man" went to bed. Fun times together. Only thing is the bosses can be a little harder than expected.
