Great game along the lines of Donkey Kong 64, Banjo Kazoie for the N64, but more kiddie, I would go into more detail, but you can read all the other reviews, do not pay any attention to those sad people who gave bad reveiws, I dont know what they where thinking. For [the price]. how can any one go wrong.

NO EXCUSES!

AFTER PLAYING "40 WINKS" I REALIZE THE TRUE POWER OF... WHAT THE PS1 CAN REALLY CREATE. THESE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING. THE MAKERS OF THIS GAME TOOK THEIR TIME IN MAKING IT. AND THERES NO EXCUSE FOR THE MANY CHOPPY, GLITCHY TITLES THAT THE PS1 HAS PRODUCED. DON'T GET ME WRONG THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF QUALITY GAMES FOR PS1. IT JUST MAKES ME MAD KNOWING THAT ALOT OF GAMES COULD'VE LOOKED AS GREAT, IF THEY WEREN'T RUSHED. AS FOR THE GAME PLAY, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED, IF YOU ENJOY THE GENRE AS I DO. BOTTOM LINE: LUSH GRAPHICS, GOOD GAME PLAY, NICE SOUND AND STORY.

Complete was of time

I purchased this game for my daughter for her birthday. The game received great reviews and I assumed because it was rated E for Everyone that i was okay. I ordered the game and received it 3 days later (pretty fast), and was disappointed. The review does not go into detail about the object of the game. I never unwrapped the game but the color cover enclosured displays a skelton and monsters and tells the story of how this evil guy is trying to steal sleep from the children and give everyone nightmares. This may be a great game for older children, but I certainly would not purchae it for a younger group. It has a slightly evil undertone, that I was not comfortable with as a parent.

Difficult, need guide book.

I bought this game for my daughter and she get's very frustrated with this game! It is difficult for a child to figure out what to do next. I wish we had a guide book/hint book for this game as it would make it a lot easier during those very (and I do mean very) frustating times!

If you have patience to try and figure this one out then go for it, but in all honesty I would not recommend purchasing this item, not even at a fantastic deal. Unless, of course, someone gives it to you for free.

makes me nauseous

I was really looking forward to this game because I loved Crash and Spyro so much. I think this could be a good game but it is hard to control. The view is not consistent and it makes me nauseous. As you move around it doesn't always pan with you. It is rather annoying to have to adjust the view manually. I got half way through the first level and had to stop because it gave me such a headache. I really want to play this but I don't want to feel sick every time. Too bad :-(

Kid at heart!

I found this at a clearance rack and took a chance for my 3 1/2 year old...it's been a year and he loves it STILL. Of course I limit the amount of time in front of PS1...it's a treat to him to play once a week or so. The graphics are great - it's funny and really enjoyable throughout. Many levels and little discoveries along the way. I couldn't stand it so I cheated and found out some tricks in order to unlock all of the doors, etc. Even with help...it's still enjoyable over and over again. I recommend this for all ages!

Worth looking for!

I stumbled onto 40 Winks late in the day; my path to video game fan was paved with SuperMario World for the Super NES and Croc for the PS1. While my boys were busy playing next gen games (PS2, XBox, GCube), I inherited a PS1 and started trying out obscure PS1 games in search of that magic combination that made Croc great (where are you now, little Croc?). Spyro is real cute, too. Anyway, I was buying weird PS1 games, and 40 Winks is a real TREAT! The graphics aren't the greatest and the movements are not as smooth as one might like in this PS2 era, but you get used to them after a few rounds. I played 40 Winks a few minutes a day for a few weeks, and it is awesome! The story is too cute, but you get to fight guys with no blood and no cursing, the levels are repetitive but can be challenging, and best of all, while you collect several different things throughout the game you're freeing the Winks from the evil Threadbare. I like a game where it is possible to do every little thing. Finally, this is a game that is just fun, with no horror or negativity, that one can enjoy playing after a tough day at the office. So many games now are dark and noirish, if not just plain mean and ugly...this is a respite from all that negativity.

40 Winks Rocks

I had a lot of fun while I was playing. Although the controls are a little difficult to use, the game reached all my expectatives. The story can take you to a new place where you never thought to go: The Dreamland.
