(More customer reviews)Given the other reviews and the age on the box, I was hesitant to get this for my 4 1/2 YO. But he loves Spiderman and he was so happy to get it. This game is too advanced for him, but the hints help him figure things out and he prefers to play this game with me. I give him more hints and take turns with him and he thinks it's great. However, I do think this cartridge would be more appropriate and fun for 6-8 YO.
The game is very well done. I didn't like that all the games are "locked" until the child reads the story. But they only have to read the story once and it is a good story. As they go through the chapters the games open up. There are 5 games. The one where the green goblin surfs though the story and misspells words for the child to find is a little long, but again my 4.5 YO enjoys it, so probably an older child would like it even more. And the 4 other games on the cartridge are really cool. The makers of this game turned spelling into "code breaking", that's cool.
Everything on the cartridge has an attractive, hip, video game like appearance. The Spiderman character looks believable. The voices on the cartridge do not sound like the movie ones, but they still fit the characters nicely. My teen will also sneak peeks at this game occasionally, so I know it passes the "cool" test. Since getting this game my son is starting to spell better - the educational element is definitely there.
Highly recommended!
