This is a rather simple game to play. Displaying 5 Habitats each of which you may win up to 5 animals. The game consists of mini - games that help you learn the name and appearance of various animals as well as some important facts about each of them. To win an animal you first select a Habitat to explore then press the (A) button to get the game selection screen (Maze Munch, Scratch & See, Creature Collector and Matchomatic). You simply select a game and play it for points until you have enough to win the animal in the upper screen once you have done this you will need to answer 10 fact questions correctly regarding this animals - Habitat, appearence, food, reproduction or ovement. After winning an animal you can find it in its habitat - now and then there will be an animal Alert - at which time you go find an animal that is in the wrong habitat - you search through all 5 habitats to find the animal (I think so ya dont lose him from among your collection) -- it is a really educational and fun game for all reading ages (children that can not read well will need help & Adults will find this game rather easy yet still fun and educational)Read full review
I have had the Leapster version of this game for a while. My little boy loves it but has moved onto the DS. For me this was a no brainer. The set up is the same. They still have maze munch, scratch and see,and match o' matic. But they have a some one called creature collector. The game play is not hard so little ones should get the hang of it. The pictures of the animals will keep them engaged. The game play is alot faster than the leapster. That always irratated my little boy. He loves this game. Not for older kids or teenagers. It would bore them to tears. If they don't win they still recieve points toward an animal to fill up their habitat. There is a total of 25 creatures to win. It automatically saves your progress. Worth buying.
FINALLY, a Nintindo DS game my preschooler can play by herself! I give this game a thumbs up for preschoolers and elementary students alike. It is also educational, which is a big plus. It has really grabbed my preschooler's attention with the neat games it has. Even her other siblings (and me) love it. Definately a good buy!
I love that this game speaks to you so your pre-reader can play. My girls aged 5 and 3 are constantly playing it. It's easy to earn the rewards (collected animals) and they are truly learning interesting facts about animals, classification, and habitats. They enjoy it but there are enough games and enough difficulty that I would think a child up to age 10 would enjoy it.
My nine year old Granddaughter loved this game. It was fun, but it also taught her new information. At first, she wasn't sure that it was a game that she wanted to play, but in a few minutes she was enjoying creating and learning. She even said, "Thanks Grandma...this is fun!" It doesn't get any better than this for a gift.
