I should have more closely read some of the reviews for this product. We purchased this game for a 3 year old boy thinking this would have some age appropriate games (the artwork and crayola marketing seemed to indicate that would be the case - it even touted coloring pages). Unfortunately that's not what this game is.
The basic premise sounds good enough... the story character has been sucked into a crayola book where evil goblins are "gobbling up" all the colors. Fillup (or Violet) travel mindlessly through the world (you don't control them except to draw objects to impede their progress or help them over an obstacles). Using a palette of 4 crayons that each possess a different property you draw shapes in the air that form planes the characters can travel across to recover the crayons that have been hidden throughout the world and make it safely to the exit. The game play is a lot like the popular computer game series Lemmings - though the puzzles and the options for solutions are a lot less interesting. In my opinion, for what it's worth, this game would be most appropriate for children from about 7 - 10 but not intended for children much younger than that (despite the package) and honestly not interesting enough to keep kids much older involved.
If you like Lemmings you MAY enjoy this game. Then again, if you really like the Lemmings games you may want to forgo this purchase and wait for the "real" thing. Overall 2 stars.
