I purchased this product for my Grandson. He plays all of his Vtech games every day.
Of all the games for this age range that my daughter has, this is one of her favorites. Some of the graphics on these games are kind of crappy, this one is pretty good and like I said she likes it...
This game is great in that it teaches shapes, spatial skills, numbers, colors, skill development games, etc. There is a ton of hand holding in the game, as Dora isn't allowed to fall off a cliff or get hurt (compare to Pooh's game). Play is a bit slow also with regard to Dora's movements, especially compared to the Pooh Bear game, which is a bit more fast paced, although both are within the same age range. Thus, this game can be a bit painful for grownups while they are teaching their kids how to play it.
This game also emphasizes spanish translations a bit too much for colors, numbers, verbs, etc. which may or may not interest you as a parent. When I say too much, most times the words aren't even spoken in English, only Spanish. I think early on, focus/mastery should be on English rather than Spanish added into the mix, so it's a downpoint for me. This cartridge is probably more 3-5 rather than 4-6, but it teaches a lot, especially compared to Cars and Wiggles. This smartridge is definitely more learning game and less video game.
I just purchased this game for my 3-1/2 year daughter. She is a Dora fan, so she wanted to play it immediately. She sat there and played the entire game in one sitting. Basically, Dora and Boots are on an adventure to help find pieces for Tico's aircraft. Swiper makes his regular appearances as well. I had to help her understand how to do something in a couple of places, but otherwise it was right at her level. She knows her numbers and colors and she was very excited that she was able to progress. The best part about the game, in my opinion, is that your little one will be able to make jumps without any problem. The Pooh game is her other favorite (and another great game), but she needs help in making some of the jumps. In the Dora game, Dora won't fall if you keep walking when you are supposed to jump - she just leans over on his tippie toes like she is going to fall. My daughter was especially proud of the fact that she was able to jump on the swinging vines. I highly recommend this game!!

"Pretty good game with good skills development, but can get painfully slow after awhile."
