Good for kids... and kids only

This game is lots of fun for young children... an audience not quite targeted by the Xbox in this country. Adult gamers will do better skipping this title, as it's quite repetitive and "boring" from an grown-up's point of view.

Basically you play as Apollo (and his friends) in search of food stolen by a bunch of rats (which, curiously, look for the most part smaller than mice!). You can only follow a set path, and go left or right most of the time. There's no free roam at all. The characters are cute enough, the music Nintendo-like (and excruciating to adults after about 2 minutes), and the gameplay simple.

If you have a 4-6-year-old in your family, he/she will like the cute mice running around solving simple puzzles. Otherwise, you should save yourself thirty dols and buy Mech Assault.

Worst game ever!

The ad says "Fur shading available only on X-box". Many games have fur-shading(Star Fox Adventures for Gamecube for example). This false statement is the first of many. When this game was released in Japan, it was a huge failure...now I know why. Basically, you run around a house searching for rats. When you see one, they just disappear. No fighting...goals would be like spot 20 rats in a level. There are some random battles that serve no point, too. My kids played this for five minutes before getting bored of the game. The game's concept sounds interesting and the mouse does look cute, but trust me this game is the worst X-box game so far. They had to release this at a lower price point just to get people to take notice of it, but be smart and try to stay away from this horrible game.

Meant for Ages 3-6

This is a GREAT game for kids and kids only! My 3-year-old son plays this for hours and enjoys it thoroughly, but anyone over 6 has gotten bored with this within 20 minutes.

We love it !

I just got this game for my son ( 4 years old ) and we played together for the last 3 hours. We had a great time looking for the rats all over the house.
So far we didn't pass the first level but I already know this one is going to be a winner.

Family Fun

I primarily purchased this game for my 5 year old, but I discovered the whole family got involved:) In this game you have to actually think and work as a team to find the rats. We thought the only gameplay was in the house according to the reviews that other people gave. But we found out it is a thought game not just a fighting game. There is a total of 5 levels each in different surroundings which in itself is very challeging. Don't give up its alot of fun:)

If you have a kid ages 3-6 then buy!

Everyone knows that the Xbox does not have many E-rated games (aside from sports) and is targeted at teens, after all this is why you get an Xbox over a lamecube. Fortunately, Sneakers provides some relief for your child(ren) aged 3-6 you should get this game. But if your not that age this is no fun at all and could be considered the worst game on Xbox (For you, anyways).It's not that hard to figure that out as it is a Toys R Us exclusive.

Some people find it hard to pass level one on Sneakers. It was no problem for a few people I know, but a lot for others.
It's great for all ages. I say this because younger kids love rats and mice...adventure games. Adults and teens do, too, and it's also quite difficult at times. I think it's important that games challenge you for once. Challenge yourself!

A frown came to some friends and I when we found out you couldn't roam around through the house on your own.You have to follow a route and choose the direction you want to go every 10 seconds.

Warning: This game can get annoying! It's hard at first...but, that's what makes games interesting. Right?

Worst Game Ever

This game was truly [...]. Not simple enough for really young kids, and beyond boring for older ones. You can't even just run around freely. It's like you can only go left or right and then choose a direction at specific "intersections". Absolutely terrible. Avoid this one like the plague.

It's finally at my house! I bought Sneakers and tried it out. It's a great game and especially the fights are what I like! You can do a huge spin and knock a whole lot of rats off of the screen! There is a good soundtrack on the game, too. It's the great after-holiday buy and it's only $30.

this is a great game for kids, but it is only a one player game.
