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.

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.

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.

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.

BEST GAME EVER!

You play as cute little mice and find the evil rats!

Great Tech Demo for the XBOX--sure to be a rare title!

Admittedly I bought this game primarily because I am an XBOX owner since the start and remember seeing this game (known as Nezmix) released for the Japanese market. It looked interesting back then in the early issues of the official XBOX magazine and I figured that someday I would track this down if it ever hit these shores.

Sure enough, Sneakers did make it out in the U.S. (as a Toys R Us EXCLUSIVE!) and based on it's limited release, it will surely someday be a sought after collectable. The game features some nice graphics and I must say I really enjoyed it for a while. The price isn't too bad and the game is a simple little title that harkens back to the 8-bit days of gaming.

Should you buy it? I'd say yes..it's one of those titles you'll pull out now and then for the simple game play and as a reminder of just how much of an advancement the first generation of XBOX software was over the PS2 and Gamecube. If you're a l337 gamer who cares only about the latest and greatest 3D FPS, then stay away.

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:)

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

The 'mixed' game

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?

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.
