the game makes me scared to talk to people at times because they want to tell you their life story, and how when they were a kid an old man touched them on a bus.

seems as tho this game is geared toward the younger crowd as some things have been dumbed down.

my seven year old daughter loves it, and even my four year old finds it fun to search for things in the game.

it's not a challenging game, just something easy and stress free.
from www.amazon.com
it's a seek and find game, and it's not so easy to decipher all the items you're looking for, so some become a challenge.
from www.amazon.com
but for the price, it is entertaining little game.

this game is worth the price and it sure makes waiting on line a breeze!

Fun for a while, but so little skill involved that it quickly loses its appeal.

I bought this for my grandson.
from www.amazon.com
It is easy enough for my 5 year old to play although she doesn't make any high scores, it does give her practice to find double digit numbers like a matching game.

Zenses Rainforest Edition

from www.amazon.com
I have seen a growing number of adult games for DS that have really impressed me.
from www.amazon.com
So if you're not into that sort of thing you might not enjoy these Zenses games (I have both Ocean and Rainforest) as much as I do.
from www.amazon.com
I liked the Zenses - Ocean so I had to try Rainforest.
from www.amazon.com
When you get into higher levels (30-40), the game gets harder, until it just presents you with an impossible case, forcing you to just end the game.
