Rating: Summary: My 2 yr old played through this game in 20 minutes. Review: There is very little interaction so it's more like a cartoon with four short activities thrown in. The activities don't have a repeat option so when they're done, you're forced to move on. The graphics are nice but we could get almost the same amount of interaction with the TV show. A big disappointment.
Rating: Summary: Dot269 Review: This game really kept my daughter' s attention. She enjoyed the games and learned the activities. I am really glad that I purchased this. I have ordered others as well.
Rating: Summary: Just Ok Review: My daughter is 4 and loves Dora. The game is short and not interesting her. Also it's seems there are a few glitches in the game. Trying to get the stars into backpack is nerve racking. You don't actually click on the stars but just to the outside of it. It becomes a pain. Don't waste you money.
Rating: Summary: Great game for toddlers! Review: If you child likes to play on the computer, and likes Dora, this is a great game for them! My son just turned 3 and loves to play this game. After playing each individual game with him, he was able to play on his own. The different levels are a great feature. Most of the games deal with number recognition, so the lower the level, the less numbers it deals with. There are also some print-outs to color, but not many to choose from.
Rating: Summary: Don't bother... Review: I recently bought this for my 3-yr old grandaughter. While she loves Dora, I can see that she gets bored with it already. Not much choice here...Really disappointed in it. I have installed/uninstalled several times, but the sound is horrible. First, you need the volume up to hear the game, but then when the songs come on, the volume is way too loud. Also, the audio skips, freezes, etc. Save your money.
Rating: Summary: Worth The Money - 2 1/2 year old son loves it Review: I have bought almost every software title I can for Blue's Clues, Winnie, Disney, Dalmations etc... This Dora game holds my son's attention more than any other except the Tonka Trucks game. It works well on my PC and also plays well on our Imac. If you do have a Mac run it on OS 9.3 or lower. OS X doesn't like it much. If your child loves Dora and is under 5 buy this.
Rating: Summary: Not much to it. Review: If you have a child that loves Dora and you have [amount] to spend, go for it. Otherwise, steer clear. Here are my reasons: *There is not much replay value in the game. It is the same set of tasks to perform each time you play and they always come in the same order. *There is not a large variety of things to do (Discovery Airport was the same price and it seems to have a lot more to do). *The tasks that are performed do not seem have much educational value when compared to other software like the Jumpstart line. *The product seems like it was put together quickly so it could be rushed to market in order to capitalize on Dora's popularity. Having said all of this, I will admit that the graphics are nice. It does look like the show.
Rating: Summary: For the price, we expected much more and it failed! Review: This game was no where near challenging enough for our 4 1/2 year old. He played it once and was bored with it. It may be more appropriate for <3.The work sheets are a waste of paper. All levels are easy, there is no challenge to the games. Very disappointed! Should be marketed to 2-3 year olds.
Rating: Summary: Not good for active children Review: I bought this software for my nieces... and they were pretty excited to see Dora on the box. They ripped it open with glee and we installed it. Well, I guess Quality Control is missing in the Lost City - the software simply wasn't translating my mouse clicks in a standard way, and so interacting with the software became a adventure! The software worked great in terms of seeing and hearing Dora... but when we tried to interact with Dora and her friends, well, that was an exercise in frustration! As a software developer, I found it unusable. Totally unusable. It was so wrong, I sent a note to tech support. Tech support responded in a day or two, but unfortunately their reply didn't offer any advice in correcting my usability issue. I suggest something else - my nieces were very disappointed. I was disappointed too.
