5 out of 5 stars Great game   December 30, 2008

At first I thought this game would be too difficult for my 5 yr old, but after spending a little time with it, I realised its potential. To start the questions seem quite tricky, but I think this promotes parent interation during this part of game. Once you get passed the first set of questions your child is then encouraged to use it daily to achieve extra quiz, story or game bonus levels. These are aimed more at the child to play alone and are quite simple. My son especially likes practicing his hand writing and then rubbing it out which is a real bonus! Well worth the reasonable price.

I wasn't too sure about getting this game as it stated for 6 year olds and above. It was well worth the gamble my five year old daughter did struggle at first but with my help, she is winning. It is very hard at first but my daughter has excelled at it. From it being challenging it has made her try harder!!!! My four year old son couldn't understand it though. The only CON is that you can only gain a bonus activity per day, hopefully by the end of the month she should have opened lots of activities!!!!

An excellent educational game for when school is closed!!!!!

My five-year-old daughter was keen to have her own game for my Nintendo DS, and we tried a Barbie game which involved lots of jumping about and getting eaten by things, but not really understanding what we were meant to be achieving. This is much better: she has five challenges to complete daily before unlocking another activity, and has made good progress with sorting numbers into numerical order, working out greater than or less than, putting words into alphabetical order, rearranging words into alphabetical order. She gets a bit frustrated with some of the other activities, but enjoys her five daily challenges. It is also politer than the grown-up versions, and doesn't tell you off if you miss a few days!

This is a good brain training game for children . It would be too complicated for young children but in my opinion suitable for ages 8 and up to 11. It is good fun as well as being educational.

I have two sons, aged 7 and 12, and both have played this for some time over the Christmas period. Although the presentation and mini games seem to be aimed at a younger age group, which suits my 7 year old, the challenges and quizes are quite tough, which is better for my 12 year old. Some, even I struggle to do, and I'm 40:0) In all, this is a cracking title, and apart from the annoying music (which seems to be present in every DS game aimed at kids), I don't hear a peep out of them when they're playing it, and I know they're doing something more 'worthy' than some of the other DS games they play. I've seen some comments about it being too hard, but that's nothing compared to some of the homework my sons come home with, so I'm happy to help them on this game too!
