 Fun and educational game for young kids Sep 03, 2009
By Maribeth Portz
"mportz"
My nearly 4 year old picked up the controller and began exploring the world of Pet Rescue the minute the game loaded. It's so intuitive that he hardly needed my help. In addition to the parent friendly educational games found throughout the magical world of Pet Rescue there are also fun things that kids will love. My son really enjoyed finding the waterslides and zip lines and is still talking about the pet he adopted at the adoption center. In the few times he's played we've barely scratched the surface of all the content in this game.

 Rating is wrong. This game is rated Early Childhood, not Everyone. Sep 27, 2009
By Michael Thompson
My three year old loves this game. Finally, get has a game of his own that he can work on the wii, and he's very excited about it.
Need more games rated eC for consoles... would make the living room more fun for those of us with toddlers. ;)

Frustrating for pre-schoolers Nov 09, 2009
By Jim
"Just Jim"
I'm a grandfather with a 3 year old grandson. I wanted a game that he could enjoy and get involved with. It was also important that he be able to do it by himself, so that he would get the satisfaction of accomplishment.
Unfortunately, at many times this game is frustrating. It is very hard for him to move the character around. Perhaps this would be easy if this were a PC game and he could use a mouse. Instead, the WII controllers are very sensitive and I have often seen him patiently trying to get the WII hand over an action icon and hold it there while trying to press the A button. In fact, I have to concentrate very hard myself to navigate this game. If you try to use the cross pad keys to move your character, it moves so quickly that it zooms past the target position and once again causes great frustration. We tried the nunchuck instead, but it is even harder to control. He gets stuck in places and can't move. He can jump, but can't jump OVER anything (the game doesn't allow it.) Sometimes the game locks up and the console has to be restarted. Sometimes objects in the game simply go white. If you move around it, the color of the object is back. Most of things in the game are too small to be clicked. If you approach a character to talk to it, the game leaves you positioned in front of the character where you can't see the character as he speaks. Children don't like this. They want to see the characters talk. So now, instead of feeling that I'd given him a nice gift, I feel that I am torturing him. He DOES like the game, but watching him struggle to use the over sensitive controls is nerve-wracking for me. It would be great if the control sensitivity could be turned down, but I don't see a way to do it. So my rating is that it's just OK.

Fun game with lots of variety Oct 20, 2009
By F. Martin
My five-year-old granddaughter loves this game. It has two modes - explorer mode and story mode. In explorer mode, she can go to any world and play with any pet. In story mode, she has to complete tasks in order to find and play with the pets. In either mode, she can name, feed, and bathe the pets. Taking care of the pets is her favorite part. Both modes are easy for her to play. She needed a little help the first time, but now she can play it by herself with very little assistance. That is important to her - she likes being independent. There is a "movie theater" in one of the play areas. The movie theater has a few fun little sing-a-long movies that get the kids up and moving. There are a number of other fun activities that she enjoys, including painting billboards, going to the library, delivering mail, and changing her character's appearance. There's a lot of variety in the game, so it keeps her engaged. She would play this game all day if we let her.

 Too much like a computer game Nov 23, 2009
By Jenna M. Hoosier
"Grapes415"
I bought this game for my 4-year-old daughter thinking it would be a cute Wii game for her. She has the Jumpstart computer games and it is the first game I have seen with the Early Childhood rating on it. I agree with most of the other reviewers in that it has educational aspects and is fairly easy to navigate. She already has the Dora Snow Princess game (which she loves) and I was looking forward to more active and interactive gaming; however, this game plays exactly like a computer game. You use the wii remote like a mouse and basically just point and click on different things. In the Dora game you have to do different activities within the game, ex. tilt remote to walk, move in circular motion to raise flags, tilt back and forth to climb, etc. This is not the case in the Jumpstart game.
That being said, this game is definately not terrible, it just does not take advantage of all of the unique ways that the Wii can be used. It may be a good option for someone who does not have the Jumpstart computer games.
