!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ps i beat the game too when 5 1/2.

this game has just the right amount of everything for kids or adults. it has tons of levels, some very challenging, some easier. so many different environments and allows for lots of exploration. some really fun mini-games. my 5 year old plays this well, and hasn't lost interest in it one bit since we've owned it. i was also challenged by many of the levels and played it like a fanatic until i finally beat it. easy enough for kids to play, but also entertaining for adults. a great game!

After seeing this in a list of good games for littler kids, and reading some of the other reviews, I decided to get this for my 3-year old son, who has only played some of his dad's car racing games up till now. My son was very excited to receive it, and insisted on playing it immediately. After a couple of minutes, he had mastered the gist of the game and the controls seemed logical. Basically, the object of the main game (there are several mini-games included as well) is to rescue your fellow puppy siblings that have been trapped in crates. You have to destroy attacking robotic toys by barking at them, and you have to roll into the crates to smash them and rescue the puppies. A little rough, but all seemed well, and I left the room for a couple of minutes, only to rush back in when I heard my son yelling tearfully that I had to turn the game off. Apparently, Cruella De Ville's sidekick appears in the game and chases after you with a net. You can't always see him as you run madly away, but sometimes you just see his feet in the foreground as he chases after you, or you round a corner and he starts lurching towards you, swinging the net. The graphics were even a little creepy to me--like one of those slow motion bad dreams where you run from some THING. I have no idea how to get rid of him, because my son was so scared by this that I was not allowed to try--I had to not only turn off the game, but I had to take the disc out of the Playstation, too. When he was finally ready to give the game another try the next day, he would only play the mini-games (there's a mini-golf game and there's a memory-type game where the dog has to dig into piles of dirt to find matching objects). There are actually several other mini-games, but they were not accessible, and I suspect you have to get to certain levels in the main game before you are permitted access (a reward system, I guess). While I think older kids (5 or 6) might get a kick out of the game, the "bad guy" may be too scary for some of the more inexperienced 3 and 4 year olds who have not always encountered these concepts before. On the other hand, my husband loves the game, so families with slightly older kids could probably play this together.
