Toys and Games Reviews of Candy Land DVD Game
Customer Review: Good idea, bad execution
Summary: 2 Stars
The idea behind The Candyland DVD is great. However, a moron designed it. Your children cannot do this game alone and will get bored halfway through. A parent or older child has to press the 'enter' key on the remote every 90 seconds or so. So you can't even run to the bathroom, take a phone call, or get dinner started while your kids are playing the game.
There are also lots of annoying segments throughout the game that have nothing to do with the game. For instance, "Lord Licorice" makes an appearance occasionally to bother the host, but my kids just stand there staring at him wondering when they can play again.
If you are looking for an activity your kids can do by themselves or with minimal parental involvement, this is not the game to buy! Or if your kids are used to more high-energy, fast action games, this is not for them!
Customer Review: DVD game too repetitive, too few activites for price
Summary: 2 Stars
The DVD version of Candyland is significantly more expensive than the traditional board game, and it is not worth the money. While my children (5 and 3 1/2) do enjoying playing the game they are frustrated that the games are the same everytime. There are three games to play on the dvd, but they are not random in nature. The "gumballs", moves, and character narrative are identical every time you play. After only two days of play my children could tell you what was coming next in each game. I purchased this game because my son has difficulty sitting still for a board game, but loves games requiring physical interaction. I wanted a game that would utilize directions for him to follow and this game does do that, however I could have gotten the same result by playing "simon says" with him myself and saved the $30.Customer Review: several games in one
Summary: 4 Stars
My kids really enjoy playing the Candy Land DVD game. There are 3 different games to play and you can play for fun or play to win on each game. With kids running and bouncing around, I really like the fact that the mats pretty much stay put on the carpet. Unlike other games, the kids are not slipping and sliding or falling down on the mats. I believe this game is rated for ages 4 and up, but I think that most 2 and 3 year old kids could play most of the games if not all of the games. My son is 2 and he can play all of the games (we have to help him a bit of the 'Mister Mint says' game though).Customer Review: Not Worth the High Price Tag
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this game for my 3yr old daughters as a birthday present (Dec) thinking they could get some physical activity while indoors on these cold winter days w/ a fun game. NOT WORTH IT! As other reviewers have mentioned, you first have to sit through at least 5 minutes of promos that you can't fast forward through. The games move much too slowly and you have to constantly press the remote for them to continue. My daughters and I got bored very quickly. Save yourself some money, make your own colored squares and play Simon Says and other color games with your children.
Customer Review: Sent it back
Summary: 1 Stars
We returned it to the store today. The commercials and pacing of the DVD was just way too long for our 3 1/2 year old. I planned on playing this with him and hoping we could both get some exercise but we did a lot of standing and waiting for the next thing to occur. Quite annoying in that respect. This would be an AWESOME game if you could have a little control over the speed, rewind, fast forward, etc. This might work for you and your family but for us it just wasn't a good fit.
