I had been trying to find a game that my 3 year old niece could play and this was it! It taught her all the basics of gameplay such as character movement with a joystick, how to jump to reach things, and saving the game among other things the show teaches children including building memory, working with tasks towards a goal, spanish, and so forth. All of this without the frustration of dying; there's nothing Dora can do that is fatal and the game helps to walk the player through it. The graphics and audio isn't all that great but hey, kids don't care about that one bit. If you have children and want them to get into games this is a masterpiece must play which they won't want to put down... if they're anything like my niece that is.
