My wifes brother recommended this game for my daughter who is 5 and I to play together. I have to say that for a kid to be able to play and understand everything by themselves they would most likely have to be around 9 or 10 since their is a lot of reading and map following, but we were looking for a game to play together so this one is great. The graphics have a good clean look to them and the worlds are fun to explore around and see whats around ever corner. I would say its the first game of this type that I have played. Its like exploring the kind of world any child would want to live in with caves, mountians, forests, castles and sewers. We havent beaat it yet but the two of us have had great fun so far.

What GREAT GAME!

Stick to the age rating when purchasing-my 8 year old was intimidated by level 3 and it's intensity. Graphics are excellent-would recommend for older Neopet enthusiasts.

This game is really fun!

My son and I are having a really good time playing this game. It's really really long, and not too hard or frustrating so my 7 year old can have fun with it! I like the fact that it encourages reading skills, I also like the fact that good guys are good, and bad guys are bad! it reinforces right from wrong!

The graphics are pretty and the music is great! In an age where games are getting increasingly more and more violent and and geared for teenage boys, it is a refreshing change to play a game that is really fun for kids. I have to admit I am having fun playing it too! My son likes to solve the puzzles and do the quests, and he likes me to help him with the fighting in the dungeon areas, so we switch off!

I also like the fact that the game has a strong girl character, that seems to be pretty rare in games now days (since most games are designed for teenage boys) and I think that will make this game appealing to girls as well as boys.

Over all this game is good wholesome family entertainment that I would recommend for anyone who likes to play games with their kids!

The Awesomest Faerie Tale

I bought the darkest faerie about two or three days after it was released and my mother and I are still playing it. The graphics are so cool. The controls on PS2 are easy to learn and get familiar with.

You start out with one character, Tormund, and later on in Act 2 you play Roberta, but the best part is when they get together in Act 3. There are so many items you can gain through treasures and quests.

I find the traveling from one place to another somewhat tedious, but I guess it's better than zapping from one place instantly. It gives you a more real time sort of feeling, having to roam a large mapped area, and trying to stay oriented with what direction you are headed can be challenging.

The petpets are useful when kept fed. I particularly liked the cute little Noil's. But I think the Turmac is the most useful, as it increases both health and magic, and boosts attack and defense. It is just difficult to keep it fed, as it likes to run around a lot.

The sword fighting in the game is not just hack and slash. There are different swings depending on the speed of button pressing, or rotating of the joystick. The magic wand is good for long range attacks. Magic is a key to defeating types of monsters, using motes that vary your attacks. One astounding game. Is good for ages 10 and up.

So far there is no player's guide for it (There is a map inside the game package), but there are helpful people on the message boards at [...] who can answer any questions you might have. I found that very useful to overcome puzzles that eventually stumped me. It's a fun game, and yes I'd give it an educational rating for its map reading and puzzle solving skills. It's about as durable as any CD is and should be taken care of. I won't give it a 5, but more of a 4.5, something rather close.

Great Game For Kids

My son saw this game advertised on Nickelodeon and we purchased it for his 11th birthday. He just finished the game yesterday and loved every minute of it! I would highly recommend it as a parent who is tired of buying expensive games just to have them played for a couple of hours and stuck back on the shelf. He couldn't wait to get to his "game time" every day to play this game. The graphics are wonderful, the morals are great for a game these days, and we all enjoyed watching him play and the little "movies" played in between quests. Definately not a waste of money!

heck yeah!

I've been playing Neopets: The Darkest Faerie and I love it! I'm twelve years old, and there's only so many games that my parents will let me play until I'm older - and this one is EASILY the funnest I've played all year! Usually, when my ten year old sister and her friends like a game, I won't even pay attention to it --- but Neopets is an easy acception to that rule. The characters are cool and there's tons of awesome levels to play! Even if you mess up on a level, you can accidentally discover cool hidden areas and happen upon different quests.

I'm a 37 yr. old mother of two (16,15) and I'm here to say that the crew at Neopets has my Thanks, I got this game for myself because I love the web site,and have been playing for 4 yrs. just like my husband and both my kids. We all play the game now, we love the graphics and the story line, and the entire concept of good values, which is what our society lacks today. So from the bottom of my heart Thank You for keepping it CLEAN and FUN.
