Shrek the Third....I guess. 360 isn't really aimed towards younger kids so your options are pretty limited.

Just give him Gears because I'm sure he'll get a hold of it eventually :|

yeah idk if theres really any games on the 360 that r simple enough for a 4 year old. even viva pinata, yeah its got kiddie characters but i still think the gameplay would be too difficult for a 4 year old. unless ur planning on playin the game w/ him, idk if there r any games that a 4 year old can play by himself on the 360. try super mario or somethin

Stop kidding yourself.There are no games for the 360 appropriate for a kid of 4...except maybe sports games. Get the Wii, and he'll have a blast with the Wii remote.

I have a four year old boy, (almost 5 years old) and I just bought him teenage ninja turtle game. Great game for kids. He does pretty good with it. Sometimes I will have to help him get pasta certainpart.The game teaches them problem solving skills, and coordination. Good for future gaming for them.

Xbox Live Arcade has lots of stuff that isn't too hard and also approrite for young children, a good example is Robo Blitz, Bejeweled2 is another, hell all you have to do is look around Xbox Live Arcade'ssection and I know you should be able to findsome, Wik: Fable of Souls is another I would recomenned. There are also some Xbox 1 games he could play on the 360 and they should be cheap, I think i sawthe Shark Tail movie licenced game on the compatiblity list for example.

Get him cars and anything simple. Get him gears if you want and play co-op it might be too hard though.

i personally wouldnt want my kid to be playing video games when he or she is that young, it could lead to addiction and that leads to laziness but that is just my thoughts

I'd say theNinja Turtles game. There's mild cartoon violence, butno blood. The platforming is excellent and fast paced: funfor someone of any age, but not difficult, even for a four year old.

Thus, I highly recomend TMNT.

Lego Star Wars II, Viva Pinata, and Shrek the Third would probably be good games, although you may need to help them out on some parts of those games, because I'm not sure if they'd be able to do everything the game requires at their age.

if the 360 is just for him, sell it and get a wii or a DS, he'll like the revolutionary and "realistic" fun on the wii and portalbe kid-friendly games on the DS. or if he breaks things, get him a Gameboy.:)

Lilposion started playing Halo when he was 5 and won tournaments and everything when he was 6+, I mean its unlikely for kids like that to be good or understand games like Gears but it does happen.

Honestly I don't think kids that young should play any videogames, they should play outside, find creative ways to entertain themselves.

Kids have an amazing imagination just give them a chance to use it.

Why not Grand Theft Auto? It might sound weird, but read the article and you'll see what I mean.
