Gameplay is OK - but Dora's voice is annoying beyond belief

My 4-year-old has this game - and she likes it OK, even though this is not her favorite game by far. Actually, there is one main reason I gave this game just two stars - the voice and speakig manner of Dora, the main character is so annoyingly whiny and affected, it embodies everything I hate about the way certain people (typically female) are speaking. This unnatural, annoying voice grates on the nerves so much that I'm seriously considering removing the game from the computer so that my daughter won't speak the same way.

not up to par

My 2 year old just loves Dora so this was a BIG hit. She absolutely loves playing the games. Easy enough so that she can play by herself or with me. Lots of fun. Very educational. Wonderful graphics, easy to install runs great on my Win XP computer. Highly recommend.

BUGGS

We found this game would not play on my new dell computer and only played on my husband's new alienware system with choppy sound and graphics - and he bought this computer specifically for gaming. So I think the software must be defective. We have backpack and lost city also - they play well and my son (2.5) likes them both, but i found that with lost city all the games were about numbers - ignoring other concepts like colors, letters and shapes. Try this software at your own risk, maybe they will fix the bugs. I found tech support to be a frustrating, time consuming experience with an automated system that was confusing and annoying. Good luck.

Should have listened to the poor reviews

Dora the Backpack is a disappointment on a technical level and interest level. One of the games (the Troll gmae) freezes the computer each time we reach it. Also, the game is generally boring, even with the level changes. Too bad!

Game is nice, Keydisk is hard for 3 year old

The game is simple but there are a number of things for my 3 year old to do. My big complaint about this game is the fact it has a key disk that must be in the cd drive for the game to run. Key disks are such a hassle for 3 year olds who you don't want opening and closing the cd tray on your computer. I'd like to just have an icon on the desktop she can click to run the game.. Can't happen when she needs to put the disk in the CD player. Frustrating.

Too easy for computer saavy 2 yr old!

I bought this game because my 2 yr old loves Dora,thinking she
would grow into it but she fooled me.She easily mastered level
one and two.It is a good game,holds her attention but not for any
long amounts of time.I gave it an average rating because levels
could be a little more challenging.

Not fun, not worth the money

My daughter liked this game the first time she played it, but half way through the second time, she was bored. Each time you play, you go through the same set of games, in the same order, with the same outcome. Nothing is ever different from the time before, and it doesn't take very long. There is also not much educational value. This is not worth the money at all. If you want Dora games, there are plenty of them at Nickjr.com.

Good game with educational value, but boring

My three-year-old son played with this and enjoyed the games, and they are very easy to navigate with good learning objectives. It can get a little boring after a few times, or as they get older.

Boring!

I have a 3 year old, and after a week, she is already bored with this game. For $20, there should be more to do. It constantly repeats itself, and has no real direction. Very limited number of activities available, and really no variety. I would not recommend this game at all. I am currently reading reviews to find something much more interesting.
