Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Having an almost 3 year old and a just 5 year old girls in the house we are huge Dora fans (and Diego now). We own each and every of the Dora PC games... and most all other Dora merchandise. This new computer game is a huge disappointment. There is no education in this edu-tainment game. If I was using this on a $30 game boy advanced that would be one thing...... the only thing the kids have to do is move the mouse one way or the other...... no letters, colors, shapes (well just a couple), numbers, categorizing, problem solving...... nothing. We use a touch screen interface so it is a real waste for us. Even the last scene when you are supposed to help Dora do the same dance as the king to win the contest......... the selection box to get the right body part is almost impossible..... you try to press Dora's hips, you get her arms....... we are using this on a 19" screen and It was driving me (a very computer literate, mouse able adult)nuts. I think it quite lousy that this game was licensed to use Dora as the character. It is not at all in the spirit of the Nick Jr. show. Get the Dance to the Rescue DVD instead so your kids can dance along....... this adaptation is pitiful. Trying to convert dancing to mouse clicks just doesn't work....especially for this young a user. If you need a Dora PC game then Fairy Tale Adventure is set up like a real adventure and has some good educational activities. Backpack Adventure and Lost City Adventure, though the layout and the use of Map isn't as good, are both still better choices than this latest release. My 5 year old was so excited. We had been waiting. She and I are both very bummed.
