Summary: Didn't work
Review: I could never get this game to work on my computer, or the other infogrames Dora game (Lost City). It crashes as soon as I launch the game. I have never had trouble with any other game, and my computer meets all of the requirements. The tech support people tried all kinds of things but could not help me. This is very frustrating as my daughter was so excited when I brought the game home she kissed it.

It does work on my work computer so sometimes I'll bring her there and let her play it. The game is OK, nothing really that isn't in the free nickjr.com online version.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Dora A+ CD Operation D-
Review: This is the second copy of this game I've had. My three year old granddaughter is quite the Dora fan.

The first CD was apparently damaged....only the "choice" version worked...couldn't use the "game" half.

So.....purchased a replacement. The characters are cute and charming but the movement from one game to another is very frustrating. Even the three year old thinks the computer has frozen while waiting for the next segment to appear. Pretty frustrating for a three year old...and the adult "playing" the game with her.

Visually it's clever and enjoyable but the mechanics do not measure up.

Except that if the child you are getting this for is a confirmed Dora fan, I wouldn't recommend it. The little Dora lovers are a tad more forgiving.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Please make more Dora Material
Review: do you have any other dora games besides this and the lost city adventure game why don't you bring out more also an episode that has to do with Boots' Dad would be nice and please make Dora speak other forigen languages besides Spanish and make an extistable Dora Fan Site, a Movie, and a Fast Food Chain promotion Dora has a neat merchant line but could need some more products and even promotions

Rating: 3 stars

after using reader rabbit for years and loving it .
we were surprisingly disappointed in this product

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not so hot
Review: I borrowed this from the library, and I am so glad we didn't buy it. My 4 year old (who loves Dora) was bored with this in 10 minutes. Level one was too easy, and the other levels weren't different enough to hold his attention.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Waste of money
Review: My 2 year old danced around the chair as i attempted to load this corrupted disc on my computer. I have bought games from the discount bin ...that didn't mess my computer up the way this did. When i finally got it to load, it would freeze up constantly. My 2 year old played it and loved it, but was rightfully irritated by the constant freezing up. We enjoyed the Scholastic games much more.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My Daughter Loves It!
Review: A great educational piece of software. My 2 1/2 year old loves it and can't get enough. I think it can get a bit repetitive, but my daughter loves to play it over and over again. System requirements are a bit much, so I don't recommend this if you have a computer that's more than a couple of years old. I will be buying the Lost City Adventure too. All in all, a big thunbs up for this one!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My 2 year old LOVES it. Great fun!
Review: My oldest daughter loves Dora and took to this game immediately. She loves to sit on my lap and play and our father-daughter time is often spent on the computer. She can't get enough.

The 3 levels offer a nice change for children that are getting bored with the game. Some puzzles she plays at level 1 where some puzzles she plays at level 3.

The game is VERY educational and fun and it follows the same format as the cartoon does. She'll turn 3 soon and she still loves it.

I'd also recommend Dora's Backpack Adventure (they make a trip to the library), Little People Discovery Airport, Winnie the Pooh (where Pooh gathers all the friends for Eyores birthday party) and Mickey Mouse (where Mickey and Minnie stop off at Goofy's gas station / Daisey's diner).

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I have to agree with others - too simple
Review: After playing with this for 20 minutes, my 3.5 year old had it figured out and was bored. Not worth the money.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: MEMORY HOG
Review: I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO LOVES DORA BUT WHAT A MISTAKE! SHE HAS OUR OLD COMPUTER WHICH IS NOT A POWERHOUSE, BUT THIS GAME IS A TOTAL MEMORY HOG AND I HAD TO DELETE EVERY OTHER GAME IN THE COMPUTER TO INSTALL IT AND IT STILL WILL NOT WORK WELL, SO, UNLESS YOUR CHILD HAS A TOP OF THE LINE COMPUTER,,,NOT RECOMMENDED!
