Cosmic Family - Nintendo Wii - Seikkailu

So Excited to have found this VHTF Wii Game! My kids Love it

I suppose the kids liked it at first, but they got really bored really fast and quite honestly I couldn't stand some of the voices. Also very repetitive replay. They entered the same rooms over and over. The only thing that progresses in gameplay is a collection of 'stickers'. There's much better games out there imo

We found this game difficult to control and difficult to understand. We lost interest before we had much of a chance to try it. We may try it again one day, but meanwhile Lego Star Wars is the number one choice

For the age group, this could have been a four- or even five-star review, but ... it's such a strain to hear the instructions. 1 - there is 'background' music (which sounds very much like it's in the foreground) playing all the time; 2 - Stefan the narrating elephant has a slightly difficult (to an English ear) accent and style of speaking; 3 - the instructions for what to find next are delivered just when the child is shouting excitedly about having completed the previous task. There is then no easy way to get the instructions to repeat. It *is* a fun game, it's just frustrating that I have to help my daughter listen out for the instructions, and then keep backing out of the game in order to hear them again.

It won't have a long life but for the price and the educational and entertainment value it's well worth it. The funny animated clips are great and make my 5 year old want to complete the tasks. I'm looking for the next level game now.
