    Very buggy. It was a big disappointment for the kids (ages 5-8). I really thought being a first party Microsoft game that this would be the hit of our Christmas gifts but it has so many issues that it takes the fun out of it. Direction of the characters is poor, finding the rides i difficult, co-op is near impossible to play.

    While the park recreation is almost 100% accurate and perfectly captures the otherworldly magic of Disneyland, the use of the Kinect technology is SO vastly underdeveloped, there is no way to even know what you are doing in most of the Attractions, let alone figure out how to excel at them.

While the idea is fantastic, numerous mini-games that use every form of movement-based gaming there is, the potential is simply never met, to an endlessly frustrating degree. Even just trying to get around the world and access an inventory menu becomes a tedious endeavor. Plus, giving this to a child almost feelsâ… Expand

    I know Disneyland like the back of my hand, and the 3D recreation of the park in this game is spot on, down to every last trash can and Churro stand. Unfortunately it's difficult to navigate the environment and this game would have greatly benefited from allowing you to use your controller to walk around the park.

Unfortunately it's difficult to navigate the environment and this game would have greatly benefited from allowing you to use your controller to walk around the park. The mini-games that make up the bulk of the content here are hit and miss and like most Kinect titles mostly consist of waving your arms around and hoping something will happen. Highlights include the Matterhorn skiing level, flying through Neverland with Peter Pan and bopping around the galaxy on Space Mountain. Conspicuously absent are Star Tours and Indiana Jones, two of my favorite rides. It's a shame that this game was developed before Disney purchased those properties (although that's the ONLY reason I'd be glad that Disney bought out Lucasfilm). All in all I would like this game a lot more if you could simply run around the park with a cap gun or lightsaber whacking tourists over the head. Look sharp for an NPC "dad" who looks a heckofalot like Barack Obama.… Expand

    I got this for my kids not expecting much other than a shameless cash in.. but both my 10 year old and 5 year old adored this game. The recreation of the park is excellent, with all the major landmarks lovingly recreated, the games are varied and fun, the characters are fun and there is so much to do it will keep them coming back for a long time to come. Kids will love this (as willI got this for my kids not expecting much other than a shameless cash in.. but both my 10 year old and 5 year old adored this game.

    Very impressive game which far exceeded my expectations. If you have kids around the 6-10 mark then they will certainly love it. Quality of sound and graphics is superb and if you have been to a Disney park it will all be reassuringly familiar. The Peter Pan seuence through London is wonderful! Highly recommended!! The best thing I have encountered for Kinect so far. Awesome work Frontier.

    In my opinion the best Kinect game for both kids and parents. Compared to other Kinect games for children like the Sesame Street game or Carnival Games this by far the best I have seen. The player control of pointing in a direction and running in that direction in the virtual Disneyland is understandable even for a 3 year old child like my daughter.

The player control of pointing in a direction and running in that direction in the virtual Disneyland is understandable even for a 3 year old child like my daughter. All mini-games are playable in two-player mode and are easy, fun and entertaining. Children who know the Disney characters like Mickey, Minie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy & Pluto from TV can meet them in the game. Not only them... even all the Disney princesses and the Toy Story characters are there!… Expand

    First,Graphic is very beautiful. Disney Animation is living in. Second, This game is a valuable recording Disney park music. That musicCD has not been released yet in the world.

    From what I’ve played, this game is beautiful in design and character choices, but it would have been a whole lot better if it wasn’t Kinect. It’s hard to control the character, too.

    A generously long-lasting slice of festive entertainment for the peripheral. [Issue#117, p.120]

    It is very deep, with over 100 quests and activities, and that's not to mention all of the unlockables and surprises that can be found around the park. Disneyland Adventures is a game of discovery for kids (and the kids-at-heart).
