  It’s difficult to find a game that young kids can easily play. Fortunately this is one. My daughter had NO problem picking up the controller and playing the game. She actually had FUN with the Wii and we got some use out of it. Great game.

  I purchased this game for my 3 year old daughter – she absolutely loves it. I love the fact that it has easy-to-follow instructions, a great “helper dude”, and is very interactive (as are all Wii games, I guess!). She truly enjoys “talking” with Dora and working her way through the adventure. I’m sure my 1 year old will play it as well, in a year or so!

  I found this on Gold box offer and decided to give it a try for my 5-year old daughter who lives and breathes Dora.
  
  Best purchase I have made for her in a long time. She absolutely loved it and had no problems completing the game in a few hours.
  
  And I think that’s the whole point of the game. While you can spend 20-40 hours on a big game, kids do not have the patience to go through a long campaign; and the fact that they could complete the game gives them a big confidence boost.
  
  The controls are simple (move the wiimote around to move, press 2 to jump or pick up something). And that’s about it.

  I finally found a game that my 3 year old daughter can play on her own. The game is very easy to play and keeps her entertained.

  This game is perfect for our 5 year old and for our 7 year old with special needs. Why? Because the game is so simple that they don’t need adult supervision to play the game! they simply follow the motions of the on-screen guide that shows how to move the controller. the game is also very forgiving which minimizes frustration. A side benefit is that it does have a fair amount of motion, arm waving, up/down, etc. to exercise the kids.

  That said, I do agree with another reviewer that this is very similar to the Diego game and for most people, one or the other is sufficient.

  Bottom line, this game has provided hours of entertainment for our kids with only casual parent supervision – that is, we can actually do something else at the same time!

  My almost 6 year old doesn’t have much experience with video games. I bought a Wii about a week ago and she is always wanting to play it, but needs a lot of guidence. A couple of days later we bought this game since we are a family of Dora fans. She LOVES it! She does it all by herself. We haven’t finished the game yet, but just like watching the shows over and over, I am sure this will get played over and over also.As a mother and teacher I like that it isn’t violent and you don’t have lives to use up (Dora gets to the edge of cliffs and says”whoooow” but never falls). The game is a ‘no fail’ game and a great 1st Wii game.

  We are new to the Wii and have 5 kids from 16 years old down to 3. I was concerned I wouldn’t find a game that my youngest could play and that would hold her attention. Fortunately, I read the reviews here and decided to try it. This game is definitely perfect for a young child. It follows the typical Dora story line as in her cartoon and that is what the game is based on. it explains everything when it needs to be as well as gives visual help. My daughter is 3 months shy of being four years old and she really enjoyed it out of the box, and as her first video game experience. I have to say that my 5, 8 & 10 year olds also got a kick out of playing it as well. Probably just a novelty, as I can’t say they would be as interested in it as my three year old, but they did enjoy “helping” my daughter learn.

  I have to say, I am in awe that the makers of a video game as complex as the Wii could make something that a young inexperinced Wii player could handle.

  This is a must have for any child who likes Dora.

  I bought this for a 5 year old and she loves it.
  
  Game is very engaging with cute characters and lots of action to keep them moving.
  
  It’s a great game for young Wii users and adults have fun playing along also.

  I honestly don’t ever take the time to write reviews. I have finally decided to pay it forward because I find reviews very helpful. I bought this game as a Hanukkah present for my 3 (4 next month) year old. She absolutely loves it, and she doesn’t require a lot of help from mom and dad. I think the thing that I like most is you can put it on an instruction mode, and when you have to move the remote a certain way, it shows you. My child is not that mechanically inclined, so I was completely encouraged when she was doing it by herself. My almost 2 year old is also captivated by the game, and is copying his big sister. I think this will be a fun interactive game for a long time in this household.

  Bought it for my 2 nieces along with the Go Diego Go game and both of them were a hit with them. By the way they are 6yrs & 2 yrs.
