My niece is going to love this game! There are a lot of challenging, yet reasonable games for the kids to play. I am looking forward to her playing it!

Know your numbers?

Yes, as a previous reviewer said, the Lost City is full of number recognition. My kids are 5 and 2 1/2 and they are both big Dora fans. My 5 year old has tired of this game (we've had it at least a year), but my 2 1/2 year old loves to play the paint-by-number game (I just wish there are more than a handful of pictures) and can now recognize many numbers! So kudos to the game. But he still finds frustration with the other parts of this game. For a more rounded game, try Dora's backpack.

Dora the Explorer takes you a short and boring journey

My 4 year-old daughter completed this game in less than a half-hour. The short-length of the game actually caused her too cry! I was shocked at the lack of depth in the game given that it weighed in at over 250MB for the install.

She's crying as I type this. "I don't like this game!"

Not so hot

I borrowed this from the library, and I am so glad we didn't buy it. My 4 year old (who loves Dora) was bored with this in 10 minutes. Level one was too easy, and the other levels weren't different enough to hold his attention.

Dora Animal Adventures is pretty poor

I am StoryMaker. My sis Chocolate Dog got Dora Animal Adventures for her 7th birthday on July 14 from her grandparents (part the reason I through on that extra star for the overall rating!). It is not very fun. We are not preschoolers but I bet preschoolers would think the same! The installation takes a long time when it loads the files even if you choose Minimum and the shortcut it makes says "Play Animal Adventures" instead of "Dora Animal Adventures" (we rename it though) and it is annoying because there is a JumpStart Animal Adventures too! I do not like the Sign-In screen. You must press the arrow buttons to start a new game (scroll to blank field journal) or countine a game (scroll to used field journal) and of the paints to color your FJ there is no red and red is my favorite color so I must use pink and you can only put one animal sticker on your FJ (I need to choose!). Most of the places lead you to a boring game where you find the animals (whitch is too easy even on level 3) and your cursor turns into a camera and you click it. Actullay, wherever you click it always takes a pic of the animal. All the animals do tricks when you find them, but the Anaconda Snake turns into a balloon animal...does not teach how dangerous it is! And it also dosen't tell any facts about animals. And in the move like the animals game you just choose whitch animal she acts like, not whitch way she goes. I could do it faster then it does in the game and when you get to the animal Dora is stupid enough not to pick it up before it jumps up and Boots the monkey says, "Look how high the baby is!" and in the rapids game if you but into something nothing happens, you just stop and you can just click a million times and Dora will jump over everything. And, the rapids game is the most action-arcade-ish, and it can get boring! And the feeding game badly teaches colors because Diego calls the light orenge leaves yellow leaves and the frog wants to eat bunches of grass and mangos! But I like the "Stunt Puppy Enertainment, Inc." thing at the start. Also, sometimes the screen turns white for a second. Let's say Artari makes bad games, because they made a bad "Pajama Sam 4: Life's sure ruff when you lose your stuff!". [...]

Atari must really hate paying customers!!

Well I would give this more stars if Atari support weren't so terrible!! The only reason I give it 2 stars is because my daughter loves Dora and likes playing this game because there are plenty of activities to try and places to go. HOWEVER, Atari seems to want to force you (due to their prehistoric copy-protection scheme) to keep the CD-ROM in the drive at all times in order to play the game! How ridiculous! Even though I paid good money for this game and it installed on my hard drive, it does not let you run it from your hard drive. Atari told me that you need to have the CD-ROM in to play it and they "cannot help me get around the copy protection". Well I don't know about anyone else's toddlers, but my 2 year old just loves to open the CD-ROM and take discs out to play with. So this leaves me out of luck if the disc becomes scratched after she's done with it! I think Atari should trust their paying customers a little more and allow them to install the game FULLY to their hard drive... if for nothing else to protect their investment! I will never buy another game by Atari because of this. They have no regards for their paying customers.

Santa left this game for my 5 year old daughter - she loves anything Dora including this fun game!

I thought it was very good. It should be for older children though.

My 2 year old danced around the chair as i attempted to load this corrupted disc on my computer. I have bought games from the discount bin ...that didn't mess my computer up the way this did. When i finally got it to load, it would freeze up constantly. My 2 year old played it and loved it, but was rightfully irritated by the constant freezing up. We enjoyed the Scholastic games much more.

Please make more Dora Material
