I bought this game for my 6 year old daughter as a bit of a risk, as I could not find any reviews on it (being a newer game). It came in the mail as she was at school, so I got to preview it before she had a chance to play with it. While I enjoyed it and was happy with what i saw, I was worried that the RPG-format would be a little slow-paced for her. I had nothing to worry about, she loves it! As far as the educational aspect, it is woven more seamlessly into the game than other Didj games I’ve seen; it actually feels like it is PART of the game, and not simply a distraction.
This game has very cute graphics and characters, which is perfect for my daughter (she loves being the blue unicorn) but may be a bit too cute for boys.
So far in the game (NOT a game that is beaten in one, or even five, sittings) there are no villains or violence, I appreciate this. As with most RPGs, talking to all the characters is an important part of the game, and helping out characters (for example, finding their lost items) has rewards.
If you get this game for your kid, and your kid is like mine, be prepared to be asked for help regularly, as this game is a bit complex as far as the Didj goes. I would suggest playing for maybe a half-hour or so before your kid does, so you can know enough about the game to help with things like navigating the menu screens, the maps, the collected items, etc.
I hope this is a sign of continued good games for the Didj.
