    Fun game
    This game is pretty fun and has lots of mini games to keep the kids happy. I personally like the slot car racing the best followed by wallball and the darts game. Overall this is a good game that gets played quite a bit in our house.


    Mediocre and monotonous.
    A number of tedious activities with a mean-spirited competitive playground setting thrown in for good measure. Teaches nothing and in fact, will leave your child worse off afterwards.


    Excellent for younger children
    We've had this game for about a year and, at first, all the reading annoyed me. My daughter constantly wanted help with what the game was telling her. HOWEVER, once you read everything once, you don't have to read it again. She cared about what they were saying because she's old enough to really want to play it right. I was worried about letting my younger nephews play (aged 2-7) because of all the reading but they don't care at all what it says. They just click click click through to the games. The mini-games are fun. Navigating to each game gets a little tedious but the kids all really seem to enjoy it. I'd say this game is good for ages 2-10/11.


    Pure Play
    The problem with EA Playground is it's just too simple. There are only seven real games, and not all of them are great fun. Everybody has to love Dodgeball and Slot Car Racing. Paper Racers and Kicks can be fun too depending on opinion. But Tetherball? Wall Ball? Dart Shootout? This game got me hooked on Dodgeball and Slot Car Racing so well I've spent hours at a time playing them. With the single player mode, it's okay, but not that deep. It adds a side mini game (hoop shooting) and it's pretty cool to explore the enviorments (the park is my favorite) but it doesn't take that log until you get to the Sticker King. If it wasn't for a couple amazing games, Playground would be down in the dumps.


    Great Gift
    I ordered this game for my niece for her birthday (6 years old). I haven't played it, but she seems to love it!
