A Mild Walk Through the 100 Acre Woods

If you're into sitting with your young one when he plays this game, you'll both enjoy it. There's lots to read; the characters don't speak, so if your child hasn't mastered reading, he won't really know the rules of the games he plays.

My son and I played it long enough to get far into the 100 Acre Woods, then we turned off the game. It saved where we left off, but when we started the game again, we had to read the prompts when Pooh headed out of his house or we would've lost our saved game, so beware. I showed my six year old how to begin his saved game; if you press the "new adventure" selection, you're saved game is history.

Overall, I don't like this game because you can lose all that you complete within a click of a button. I didn't find the games too exciting, but my son seems to like them...at least for now.

Not suitable for younger kids

We bought this for our 4 yr old. He can hardly understand what to do with the amount of reading instructions involved. Even our 6 yr old was confused at times with the amount of reading involved. Both kids lost interest very quickly.

Too boring for my 7 year old!

I bought this game and a GameBoy system for my 7 year old daughter for her birthday since she really likes Winnie the Pooh. Unfortunately, she only played it a couple times, then begged me for a new game. Since then, she hasn't touched it and sticks to her Mario and Pokemon games. If you have a little one that you can sit with, read the text to and play together, then the game isn't bad. By the time your child can read well enough to play alone, though, he'd be bored. Buy this game only for littler gamers and only if you intend to play with them!

This Game Is Full Of Fun Surprises

I think this game is for anyone. It has fun board games and lots of things to explore. I loved Winnie the Pooh's house the most because you can decorate his house and read little stories you collect, and play mini games. This game is not too easy but not too hard.

NO FUN AT ALL!

I bought this game for Christmas for my 5 year old daughter. Luckily I tried it out before the event and realized that it was not only very boring but also too difficult for a 5 year old level. Way too much reading involved my daughter could not have played this game without help. Also it's always the same boring activity (play a board game). I sold mine on e-bay and got my money back! Don't buy this one, it's not worth it. I gave it two stars because the graphics are nice.

This game was a major let down!!!!

I got my daughter this game with her GBA for her birthday. It is supposedly for ages 4 and up but there is a lot of reading involved. All this game did was make us all mad and really upset my daughter since she couldn't play without help. I do not feel this game is good for kids under 7 due to the reading required and a child over 7 would be bored with it. It plays the same game over and over. Save your money or buy a different game. We are taking ours back!!!

Fun? Ha!

When I hear people say this game is fun all I can do is laugh. The same activities over and over. The same games over and over. I am seriously bored stiff. Sure you start out with an open mind, but when the save icon doesn't understand the meaning of saving a game and the same Owl tells the same dull story you are forced to listen in on. So I ask you would you want a game like this, a game made for five year olds and yet too difficult for them. Save yourself the extra bucks and don't buy this game. I wish someone could have told me it was so uninteresting.

TOO HARD FOR YOUNG CHILDREN-DOESN'T DESERVE ONE STAR

My 5 year old daughter received this as a gift for her birthday. The game requires A LOT of reading to play. The box says recommended for children 4+ but many children cannot read at this level at that age. I played the game and found it frustrating and my daughter was easily frustrated, and even cried because she couldn't play without my help (with the reading). THis game is way too complex for young children, and it is supposed to be geared towards them.

Don't buy this game

We bought this game being very fond of Pooh, but, but, but... No action and you're supposed to be reading very well. If you visit a place in the 100 acre forest again, you have to read the same text all over again, it takes time and slows the game to extremes. Nearly all the ingame games are based on tossing the dice. Once you're in a dicegame you cannot get out and all the dicegames are very alike.Very fast it becomes VERY monotonous. So don't go wasting your money on this!

This game should be perfect for young children, but isn't. It requires at least a 1st grade reading level and even us adults had trouble figuring out how to move from place to place. I found this game to be incredibly disappointing and would not recommend it to anyone. My 5 year old was so upset that she couldn't make it work. My recommendation: try the Arthur or the Blues Clues games instead if you are buying for a young child.
