I'll be honest: I rather dislike the whole Nintendo-style gameas a genre (of which this most certainly is a part), and as a PC user accustomed  to buying games in [a lower] range it kills me to pay .....for just about  =any= video game. But then, I didn't get it for me, I got it for my  four-year-old son. Unfortunately, it's too hard for him so I end up playing  through the hard sequences. He's just about to turn five, and he'll  probably have it mastered by the time he's six. But clearly, it's not for  the easily frustrated child (or adult).
