    Provides solid entertainment for kids big and small. It's bright, colourful and charmingly presented throughout, and makes smart use of characters that have a wide appeal.

    For all its effortless charm, the game ultimately offers a window into an immersive world, fires up the imagination and then tells its young players to simply mimic the actions of others. That's enough to amuse kids, but it won't inspire them for long.

I love this game to play with my kids, and they love playing it as well. I am obviously their target audience with children under 10 years old and a little bit of time to play here and there. My wife, a non-gamer, even said she would like to play this cute game with me and the kids. Basically, there are several story lines to help the Sesame Street puppets get through.
