Where-s the Blanket- Charlie Brown-

2 stars (Maybe if you have hours to waste...) - This game takes around an hour and a half to complete. It is VERY slow, boring, and any child under 7 will be bored to pieces after the first scenario of trying to get out of Charlie Brown's house. The narration is too long, you can't speed it up, and once you think you've solved the game and it's over, it continues on and on again. The only way I can recommend this is for young kids 3-5, who just want to see the Peanuts characters interact on screen and the opportunity to click on things and see what they do. Once you have finished the game once, it remembers this and you can now play any one of the game/puzzle sections of it again, but if you take it out of your hard drive completely, you will be back to square one. Other than that, it is very frustrating to play the entire thing. 1 stars (Slow, Frustrating, and Negative for young kids) - I bought this game when my son was 4, because he had mastered most of the preschool games but wasn't ready for games that required reading, math, or quick fingers. I thought it would be a good problem-solving mystery game featuring some of his favorite Peanuts characters. After several attempts to help him get Charlie Brown out of the house, I finally got frustrated myself and put the game away so he wouldn't keep pestering me to figure it out (I was stumped, and didn't realize there was a "help" file). He finally dug it out months later and figured it out himself, but I forbid him from playing as Lucy because of the negative language she used towards the other characters. We finally pitched the game and moved on to Putt-Putt, Freddy Fish, and Pajama Sam. Much more positive role models, challenging but not frustrating problem solving games, fun music, and a more kid-friendly pace. Don't waste your money. This game is an insult to Charles Schulz. 4 stars (A good time!) - My son is almost a year old and I bought this software on a whim, to see if I can figure out a kid's game i...

Charlie - The Chocolate Factory

4 stars (Fun. But, aim for the 12 and under crowd.) - I am a grown man. I have always enjoyed the first Willy Wonka movie. I have yet to see the new movie. But, if it's anything like this game, it's not all that different. A very similar plotline gives us older folks (35) a chance to sort of exist inside the story we grew up with. But, the gameplay experience is much too simplistic for an adult. Shame. The movie's always kind of been for the adults really. I decided to play it with my son. Now, there was an enjoyable experience. Extremely colorful, and chocked full of mini games. The Factory is alive with things to see and do. A large assortment of logical puzzles as well as quick mouse button mashing games. Quite long as well. 2 CD roms that take up a surprising 1.1 gig. That's a bit for games aimed at the younger crowd. It is entertaining. But, Johnny Depp is not doing the voiceover for Willy Wonka. You'll be surprised to hear that it is James Taylor. For us old fogies, he's an incredible singer from thousands of years ago ;-). You really can't go wrong with this, though. It's very magical. ...

GBA Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

2 stars (Non-Die Hards Need Not Apply) - There's only one kind of person I'd recommend this game for; someone who loves loves loves 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' -owns the soundtrack and has a pair of TV room goggles love- and who also really likes platform jumpers. And even if you are this person the 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' game will wear thin on you more than once... per level. The general goal within the levels is mind numbingly simple; dodge enemies and obstacles to get to the exit. Your enemies are mostly Wonka's candy making robots -sweepers, wrappers, sudsy cleaners, stompers, and an irate little bot that has a penchant for throwing candy- unfortunately all you can do is dodge these guys, there's no taking them out. There's a sort of cathartic pleasure is being able rid yourself of a grunt in a game and the 'Charlie' game is so tedious it's going to take more than a few cathartic kills in another game to get the red out of your eyes. Passing levels in 'Charlie' isn't hard in the least but it is, like I said, tedious. To unlock an exit often sends you running around the factory cleaning Oompa Loompas, catapulting them around the room, getting them to open doors and break walls for you, pull switches, and trigger weight buttons and if any of this sounds like fun, trust me, it isn't. The novelty, which is really the only thing this game has going for it, wears thin very quickly leaving you leading Oompa Loompas around searching for that one switch to get to the next stage of the game desperately wishing you could pause the game and shove a first person shooter in. Several times when I was trying to get through a particularly grueling level I remember thinking 'this is not fun, I am not having fun here'. Aside from the novelty the game has one redeeming feature; mini games. There are five mini games and two or three of them are really a lot of fun. My favorites are 'Lift a Loompa' in which you rescue Oompa Loompas from the chocolate river ...
