Dora the Explorer: Super Spies review:
5 stars (Great game for a 6 year old!!!) - I bought my daugther this game for her 6th birthday and so far it is her favorite. She picked it up right away and it's easy for her to do! She also got the Barbie Princess and Pauper game, the Nicktoons Freeze Frame, and Disney Princess game and this one is much easier than all of them. I even enjoy playing it!
3 stars (difficult for beginners) - This game is an ok game, like others have said, for younger kids its a bit difficult. One thing tho yoiu do not hae to write down the password after each level, just when you decide you want to stop. This way when you turn the gameboy back on you can get back to where you left off. Dora just needs the glasses to get past the bush or whatever is blocking her path and then you can take them off and see clearly. It is necessary to get al the crystals which can be pretty difficult for the usual Dora fan.
2 stars (Too Hard for Younger Gamers, Get Pirate Pigs Game instead!) - Super Spies opens with screen shots of Dora and friends telling you what the problem is and what you're going to need to do in written form. So if you're kids don't read yet, they just get some SILENT pictures to button press thru. Then the game starts, and they need to be able to watch for the backpack image in the corner of the sceen, and then know to press it, find the right item, and continue. The first item she needs is glasses so she can see hidden ways thru shrubs or objects. The problem is that with the glasses on it's hard to tell what's happening. Once you finally finish a level, you need to write down a password to save your place. UGH. I was hoping for cute Dora music, and easier game play since Dora is really aimed at the preschoolers. Game has annoying repetitive "game" beeping sounds, but not Dora music, with the exception of "I'm the map" everytime you advance to the map section. Big Bummer. I then bought the Pirate Pig game for Dora and it has what I was looking for! Music & easier gamelay! So pass on this and get the Pirate game! You'll be glad you did!
