Review: This game is very simple to install, use and looks good for little ones. You can easily manoeuvre Miffy though different screens, from the beach to the school. Completing tasks along the way. This game is great to get preschoolers used to using a controller. They are easily guided to manoeuvre throughout the game from one screen to another.
The game is basic looking just like the miffy cartoon. I have to admit my little one enjoyed the game to begin with but it didn’t keep his attention. Not sure if he was too young or because wasn’t driving games or something fast paced but he got bored after twenty minutes and won’t go back.
I however liked the game. Miffy is sweet and you can go her mum or dad. You can go to school and play around. Yes it’s quite slow paced but is good for pre-schoolers and early school age to learn.
I would recommend this if your child likes basic role playing games or Miffy but not if they are into fast paced racing games, or platform type games.
