Toys and Games Reviews of Leapfrog Clickstart Educational Software:Go Diego Go
Customer Review: Most games too hard for 3 year old
Summary: 4 Stars
Note: All of the information below refers to "level 1" games.
My daughters (2.5 years old and 3.5 years old) love Go, Diego, Go! so it was an easy decision to buy this game. I don't know if my kids are weird, but their mouse skills are much better than their ability to navigate quickly with the keyboard. As many have pointed out, there are six games. Three of them require using the arrow keys to make Diego go in different directions, and he is also required to jump (space bar) and move (arrow key) at the same time. Thus far, this is beyond my girls. They still choose to play this game, but I need to be there the entire time, helping, and even still, they get bored and/or frustrated, and we've never gotten to the end of the game.
There's a "vine climb" game that also requires using the arrow keys to move Diego from one vine to another as he must get the leaf with a specific letter on it. Ideally, he would move away from the leaves with the wrong letter on them, too. The leaves move very quickly. Even when *I* play the game, I have to work fast to get the right letters. Way beyond them.
One game, the bridge game, involves using the mouse. This is the game that my daughters can play by themselves, and all I have to do is cheer them on. There's no time limit or independently moving parts. [thumb up]
The last game involves penguins with numbers on them, and you have to push the number on the keyboard to make a particular penguin jump into the water. Although my girls aren't that great at this game yet, I can see that they can get it soon. Unlike the "vine climb" where the leaves move quickly, in the penguin dive, the penguins just sit there for however long it takes the child to find the number on the keyboard.
I'm not sorry that we bought the game. They do like getting to make Diego do things (even if those things don't result in completing the tasks/games). If you're buying it for a 3 year old, you might want to let go of the idea that they'll play the games "the right way" and just let them fool around with it.
I don't see the Cars game listed here at amazon.com, but I bought that one in a store, and my girls can play all of those games. If your kids like Lightening McQueen, perhaps get that game as one a 3 year old can play (if they're good with the mouse!)
