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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />I hope this is a sign of continued good games for the Didj.
