My daughter just got this for her 7th birthday and she really enjoys it along with my 9 year old son. I also think it is fun to play. The graphics are great it looks like a cartoon. This is a great game for a Thornberry fan.

Total Dud

My daughter got this for her seventh birthday, and she finds this game continually frustrating. From the very beginning, the touch of the controls needed is extremely delicate. She has no chance to explore before being dumped in the weeds. I wish there were ratings for games based on ease of use. It would have been nice had the game designers kept the truly difficult jumps and swings until a little later in the game, especially considering this game is designed for young kids. The Thornberrys are my daughters favorite cartoon family, and this game is hugely disappointing. It may be better for kids with more game experience, but if your child is just starting out, save this for another year.

Fun for young kids

My daughter is 6 1/2 and she likes this. She is new to GBA and at times needs help with the game but it is holding her interest. I feel that when you are dealing with younger children that the rating system is really ambiguous. My four year old son also got one (from Grandma) and we are constantly trying to find games that he can play and not get frustrated with. If kids don't have success with a toy they will simply put it down. My new mission is to find GBA games that the younger crowd can play with.

What fun! No seriously, it was!--try it first then buy it!

I thought this game was really fun. I liked playing in various environments, it was sooo much fun. And yes this game is for kids, but even my parents tried it and said it was fun and time occuping. Its great for travel, because we went to hawaii in the summer and it was a fun and good use of time for those two stupid 5.5 hour plane rides. I kno whoever is reading this review has no clue who i am and might not even care but i kno when im looking for a game i like to kno ahead of time wheather its fun or not or if im wasting my money or not, so trust me this is a good game so just try it and find out for yourself. So i hope my review is helpful to whoever took time to read it. ***********~a big fan of this game~***********

Very poor controls.

I am very disappointed with this game. My 5 year old who is a very good gamer cannot get the controls down on this game. Neither can I and I'm a computer/video mom who's been playing since Pong came out! I can usually help him get through any tough parts on his games but not this one. I spent over an hour trying to get through the 1st level. It was ridiculous. The game is heading to the second hand shop to be traded. Booo. Hisss. Hisss.
