Beware of purchasing if you have an iMac - the software DOES NOT function properly. We have now purchased two copies, at two separate stores (including Amazon), with the same result. When signing in, the game does not properly recognize the letters to spell your child's name. When you click on " M ", it states "S" - when you click on "A", it states "F". My daughters name ended up being spelled SFMMT. (Her name is Maddy) Then, when clicking, the software takens 2-3 minutes to move from one screen to another, and last but not least, shuts down without warning. This product needs to be recalled, not purchased. STAY AWAY!

NOT WORTH GETTING

THOUGH IT IS A VERY NICE LOOKING GAME IT IS NOT VERY CHALLENGING. MY BOYS 3 AND 2 YEARS OLD FINISHED IT THE VERY FIRST TRY ON THE HARDEST LEVEL. YOU DO GET THE DORA SHOWS SONGS AND THE FEEL OF THE SHOW BUT AFTER 10 MINS OR SO THE GAME IS FINISHED. MY SONS GOT BORED OF THE SAME THING AND MOVED ON. AND NOT WORTH THE $19 ASKING PRICE ON THIS SITE. AT LEAST I PAID 1/3 THE PRICE.

A waste of money....

This game was a gift for my 3 year old. When we installed it, the sound was so choppy, we couldn't play the game. I tried all the troubleshooting suggestions, with no luck. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and my entire system crashed. Needless to say, we have not attempted Dora again. After reading these reviews, I think I will call tech support and ask for a refund, rather than a replacement, as another reviewer suggested. What a waste and a disappointment.

Don't waste your money. Any challenge is over the very first time your child will play it. All 3 difficulty levels are almost the same and the whole game is so repetitive. Big disappointment.

My little boy loves this software. He is a huge fan of Dora and was extremely excited to play this. He is only 2 years old and has learned to play it well. At first it was a little bit hard but he liked it so much he kept trying. There are lots of different activities. I even found my six year old son playing it. I didn't feel that it was too hard at all for the age that it was intended for. I didn't have any of the problems the other reviewers were talking about.

Don't buy this

I installed this computer on a Gateway 700S and it doesn't work at all. I went to Atari's technical support and followed the suggestions for updating video, sound, and DirectX, which didn't help at all. Now I have a game I can't return and can't play.

Dora A+ CD Operation D-

This is the second copy of this game I've had. My three year old granddaughter is quite the Dora fan.

The first CD was apparently damaged....only the "choice" version worked...couldn't use the "game" half.

So.....purchased a replacement. The characters are cute and charming but the movement from one game to another is very frustrating. Even the three year old thinks the computer has frozen while waiting for the next segment to appear. Pretty frustrating for a three year old...and the adult "playing" the game with her.

Visually it's clever and enjoyable but the mechanics do not measure up.

Except that if the child you are getting this for is a confirmed Dora fan, I wouldn't recommend it. The little Dora lovers are a tad more forgiving.

Not too bad..

My daughter, who is 3, really liked this game but she was quick to master it and got bored. It was very entertaining while it lasted though and she was able to do it independently and so I able to rush around and get some things done around the house while she was occupied. I give it three stars (I consider that average) because while she did enjoy it when she played it, she only played it a few times before she was no longer interested and so I don't feel as though I got my money's worth. The Jump Start games are clearly a better value.

A little disappointed

My son is 3 1/2 and loves Dora, but this game was way too easy for him. Don't believe the 3-5 yr age range. The games are pretty repetitive and not very challenging. There's really not that much more to it than what you can get for free from the nickjr.com website.

This would probably be better suited for a younger child with a shorter attention span. My son does play it, but we usually whip through all the games pretty quickly and he loses interest.

In defense of Dora

I don't usually write reviews, but I feel like this game has been sold short. My 4 year old daughter loves it! My 4 year old son loves to watch her play it as he is still frustrated by using the mouse. I would recommend it highly.
