Toys and Games Reviews of Vtech - V.Smile - Dora The Explorer
Customer Review: Pretty good game with good skills development, but can get painfully slow after awhile.
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is great in that it teaches shapes, spatial skills, numbers, colors, skill development games, etc. There is a ton of hand holding in the game, as Dora isn't allowed to fall off a cliff or get hurt (compare to Pooh's game). Play is a bit slow also with regard to Dora's movements, especially compared to the Pooh Bear game, which is a bit more fast paced, although both are within the same age range. Thus, this game can be a bit painful for grownups while they are teaching their kids how to play it.
This game also emphasizes spanish translations a bit too much for colors, numbers, verbs, etc. which may or may not interest you as a parent. When I say too much, most times the words aren't even spoken in English, only Spanish. I think early on, focus/mastery should be on English rather than Spanish added into the mix, so it's a downpoint for me. This cartridge is probably more 3-5 rather than 4-6, but it teaches a lot, especially compared to Cars and Wiggles. This smartridge is definitely more learning game and less video game.
Description of Vtech - V.Smile - Dora The Explorer
Vamanos! Everybody let's go and find out what Tico's wonderful new machine - the Slider-Glider-Rider - can do! Unfortunately, just as he tries to give Dora and Boots and extra special ride, the Rider falls apart! Dora and Boots must discover the parts that will fix Tico's machine, and bring them back so he can fix it. Discovering color, counting and vocabulary skills along the way with Dora and Boots is a rewarding journey children will want to make again, and again! For use with the V.Smile TV Learning System, sold separately.Dora the Explorer, everyone?s favorite bilingual adventurer is here to help young children learn a variety of skills and concepts. With the help of Boots, her monkey sidekick, Dora teaches colors, shapes, numbers, animals, spatial skills, and problem solving. This Dora Smartridge is compatible with the V-Tech V-Smile system. In an informal test, we found the Dora games to be both challenging and entertaining for kids, particularly a game where the player must line up shapes in order to cross a bridge and one where they must follow a sequence of numbers in order to find a path across a river. --Charlie Williams
