what is the age cut off? My son is 5 & really wants a Zelda game. I jus want to make sure he is able to play the game on his own & not having to watch dad play it to enjoy it.

I think that it's fine for him, besides, even I sometimes get stuck on something in the game but I will still have a lot of fun, the characters are well animated and colorfull as we'll.

I have happily enjoyed playing with my daughter. I don't really think that there is an upper age limit; but an older child may be bored if playing alone. If playing with others, the game is fun at any age.

I have played w/6 year olds. You just have to pick which cards to read to them. It's easy to do during the game or separate them ahead of time. No problem.

I'll begin with I'm 30 and I'm not father. I play this game and it's really exciting, it has parkour, giant robots and a lot of guns, it's so fast that you don't realise the implied violence. You may want to keep an eye on your son if he start trying to run on walls ;)

I gave this as a birthday gift to a 5 year old. She loves it! I would think 5-6 would be the perfect age. My daughter is 3 and she wanted it too so I ordered it for her as well. We play it but without the batteries. You would have to be at least 5 in order to play it right... it's hard to get those little things out. But it's cute.... it has all the main characters from the show.

I have not seen it but my boys (8 & 9) want it too, so we think we may spring for it. BUT a word of advice from a mom who bought way too many toys too early for them (when the were 5 & 6). Wait. We bought a pool/ping pong/air hockey combo table and it's trashed. All the games we bought for them at that age are missing pieces. Unless your 6 yr old is really mature, I would wait a year or two if I were you.

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

The recommended age on the game is somewhat misleading. A friend recommended it and her son is 5 so I purchased for my 4 year old. She is able to understand the game and plays it regularly. She has fun watching the balloon pop. We do have to prompt her at times to use a different stick or split her turn between two sticks but she is able to understand the concepts.

It is a single player game. And it is rated T for teen. I don't know your kids, and I won't tell you how to be a parent (if I am wrong in assuming you are a parent, I apologize). While not over-the-top vulgar or bloody like most games nowadays, the rating is there for a reason and demands consideration. But the decision ultimately is up to you.

My kids really enjoy this game. I got it when my son was 4 and my daughter 7. They are now 5 and 8 and still like it. I think it would be less interesting for older kids though.

Could you expand on what difficulties your 6 year old has with the DS. Is it the size of the screen, buttons, etc? Or the games being too difficult? Or something else?I already own a DS (for myself) and am debating buying a couple of the children's learning games for my son (3yrs but he is advanced) to use on my system instead of buying him his own system like the Leapster.

My kids have been playing Professor Noggins games since they were 6 years old. The parents have to kind of assist them in it. However, by the age of 9, they can play on their own.

It depends on how much help you intend to give. We play as a family and my son who was 8 when we bought it plays very easily but he's also obsessed with board games. After playing it a few times in a row, he's capable of playing on his own. If your kids are like mine and watch videos on playing board games they should take to it easily. If not, as long as you are playing with them it should be easy for them to play along

My mom told me she wanted to get my older girls these [ages 5.5 and 8.5] I told her to get the Leap Pad since they have games to age 9. I would think my 8 year old would be bored.

Its not that bad of a game i mean its not like he is asking for dead space on a playstation 3. However you are doing a great job at parenting seeking help first before buying him a game. I think it is rated mature. I would say let him play it 12-16yr olds i think should handle it just as well as a 17yr old. Ive played mature games since i was a young kid and theres nothing wrong with zombie games for a 12 yr old. If youre a really cautious parent though then no he would need to wait a few more yesrs

5 year old these days I would say yes. My kid is 10 now but at 5 she had a DS and was playing games like this so depends on the child I think.

I bought it for my 2 yo . She is 5 now, and she and her 2 yo sister still enjoy it tremendously. Upper age limit? No idea when kids will consider it "not cool anymore". BTW, the player was dropped couple of times and survived with no damage at all.
