can a 5 year old play this game?

A 5 years old may play it, but I would say It would be better for a 7 years old

Yeah i believe so. I remember playing the original on SNES pretty young and loved it. And kids these days seem more tech savvy. There's no Gore or violence really so I think it'd be good for a 5 yo.

I would say a five-year-old is too old for this toy. More like a two-year-old.

You can get games for 5 plus... My son had one as a six year old and it was fairly sturdy... We were impressed.

Yes it would be good for a 5 year old. We have both the original and the Junior. Our 6 year loves the junior! She could have easily played it at 5. I hope you enjoy!

Yes but it might be frustrating for the 3 year old at first. My 6 and 9 year old granddaughters have really enjoyed this game. I personally think it is more suitable for older children, at least 6 years and up.

Yes definitely suitable. The speed of the game will be slow initially but once the kids get hold of the game, you will be amazed at their observation n quickness. My boy and his friends enjoyed this game alot. They are all 4 yrs old.

Hmmm... Maybe? My son is now 5 and he likes to play with it still, but not often. I would say that it'll be fun for any child until they can master the directions and tools on their own. If your 5-year-old likes to put together Legos on his own, he could have some time left with this toy!

Hmmm I don't think your 1.5 year old would be able to do it, but your 3 year old might figure it out if they watch you open it a few times and then play with it.

Yes 9 year olds will be able to play. As long as they can read they will be able to play - some words may be unknown to them. Alternatively, there is a kids version which is more suitable and the contents relates more to kids categories.

Yes! Our six year old grandson loves playing the game with the family! I think a five year old could be helped to get it easily!

As a general rule I'd say yes but that completely depends upon their experience with video games, fine motor skills and spacial reasoning. At the age of 4-5 your kids may be a bit young for this type of game but only just barely. Nothing is innapropriate for young kids so even if there is fighting it won't be offensively violent. If your kids don't yet have the physical coordination to play this game then they will develop that skill by playing this game. The game world in this game is expansive. Trust me, it's huge. You can get lost in it quite easily. My kid is 9 and has been enjoying lego video games for a few years. Around age 6-7 he started getting into the story lines of the games.

I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game. It's about recognition of colors and shapes, so if a child is able to distinguish those, it would be fun. Once they start playing, you will be able to tell if they are able to catch on, and if they aren't, it would be best to put up the game until they are able to catch on easier, to save them from being frustrated and not having fun. I've given these as gifts for kids as young as 4 and 5 and they have loved it. As adults playing with kids, naturally, you allow them to "win" a card to encourage play. It is fun with a group of kids with about the same skill level. My 8 year old can beat some adults!

My son is 5 an he still loves it. There are different games you can buy for different age groups if that helps.

I think a five year old would not be too interested in this item. It's more for a younger child. A more interactive item might be better.tive

Yes the game is kid friendly but it might take him a little time to learn the controls hope this helps

Yes, this game is. Our 4and 5 year old children play it all the time. It is simple yet challenging.

Yes. I played it with my 10 year old grandson and it was challenging as I play to win (and he beat me).
