Maybe too scary for some?

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.

pretty good

I consider myself an experienced gamer, so it's not to be taken lightly when I say that 102 Dalmations is a surprisingly decent game. Sure it's easy, but it's meant for the kiddies, not for the hardcore gamer. The graphics get the job done without too much pop-up (although it's there) and the voice acting is solid. If you need to get a game for a beginning gamer, try this one out.

my three year old granddaughter loves this game. it's about the only one of the true 'juvenile' games that she comes back to play on a regular basis. although her uncle has helped her to finish it, it is nothing for her to start a new game, as she just loves certain scenarios. i'm not a fan of disney games, but this one is a winner. she loves it, it doesn't shelf sit and that's what counts!

I have a 4 1/2 year old son and he loved the game. I was very satisfied with the shipping time and condition of the game. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

The best playstation game ever!

The best 3D playstation videogame yet. This is my favorite game from the whole disney/playstation game set ever!!!! I did not hear about the game on t.v., I just started playing it,and learned to love it. A sure five star game, and hopefully soon in the greatest hits category. If you have it and love it,stand by my side and join me in loving the game as much as I do.If you dont have it, BUY IT BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT!!!!!!!!!

My son Loved this game. He is 9 years old and from the time we rented it he could not stop playing it. He got up early the next day just to play the game. So I guess it will be under the christmas tree this year. It was also very easy to figure out.

102 Dalmations is adorable AND cool!

I was searching for a new game for my 5 year old daughter who thinks there is nothing out there but Spyro. She fell in love with 102 Dalmations. It is very similar to Spyro because the puppy (Domino or Oddball - you get to choose)gets to explore each world.
The object is to resue the captured puppies. Your doggy can jump, spin attack its enemies, sniff the ground, dig for treasures and bark (just because sometimes a puppy needs to bark!).
We have really just begun the game, but are already having a blast saving the helpless little dalmations, collecting bones and fighting the bad guys.
My daughter (and me too) would definately recommend this game to other kids in her age group (5 - 8).

Both my 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son absolutely love this game. It is a little challenging at times, however, very easy for younger children. The children love listening to the dogs which have been "rescued", as well as the mini-clips contained in the game.

Not the typical Disney game

Unlike many of the disappointing Disney games, this one really is fun for the family. In a similiar vein as Spyro it is entertaining to all the age groups. My 4 year old still plays it after several months and my 7 year old plays with him. It is simple and interactive enough for the kids, but has that little bit of oompf that the adults need to tolerate a kid's game. The addition of the mini games for the family to play together are not the most challenging for adults, but great fun for the kids.
