3Too short for the $$$  Aug 31, 2010
I'm not crazy about encouraging my 4 y.o. to play video games, but as an exercise in bimanual coordination, I am not opposed to short periods. My girl is nuts for Dora, so it was a natural first choice. I hunted down a secondhand copy and we sat down to play.

First the good things: the graphics are bright and simple, the animations are fun.

Now for the the bad news: The game is way too flippin' short. Even if you try to get every single blessed crystal, it only stretches the game to maybe 2 hours. I don't know where the other parents are getting this 20-30 minutes duration; the counting games and in game animations eat up that much time by themselves. Even so, that is simply too short.

2Help Dora Save YOUR Money  Jul 10, 2010
My 5 year old completed the game in about 20 minutes. She isn't interested in replaying the game, either. So, my advice is to SAVE your money and buy another game like My Little Pony DS game My Little Pony: Pinkie Pie's Party which my duaghter loves and plays all the time!

5Great for a 3 year old!  Apr 19, 2010
I bought this game for my 3 year old daughter after reading all of the positive reviews on it. We tried to let her play other games, but some were just too hard for her to play. The games on here are easy and she has a lot of fun playing them. The games all have the same rotating themes so if your kid is over the age of 5 they may get bored with it quickly. I am going to buy her another Dora game for the DS because we like this one so much. =)

2Unbelievably short and easy!!  Mar 12, 2010
My daughter just received this game for her 4th birthday along with her very own DS. She seemed to have fun with it but after less than 1 day she came to me and said she got through the game and saved the mermaid. I thought that there is no way she could have gotten through the game in less than 1 hour. I went and checked through the game and the instructions to find out what other things or levels there were to play to find out that there were no other things to do. I am completely appauled by how little this game has to offer. It probably took 1 week for the developers to put this game together, slap the Dora name on it and send it out for parents to get for there children thinking that there children will get a great learning experience that will last for a few months or at least a few weeks. Not 1 hour. !!
I would definitely not recommend buying this game. It should be included free in a box of cereal.

3Great for the very young.  Jan 03, 2010
Our daughter just turned 4 and really likes this game. From a parental prespective, it is pretty short and I would never buy for someone over the age of 4. It's too easy and short for the older kids.
