I spy a waste of money

Good lord, I "finished" this game in like 30 minutes. It was terrible. There is no purpose. Great for a child 4-9, anybody else, save your money for gas.

It's a pretty fun game, although I was a little disappointed that it didn't take me very long to beat.

a little disappointed

Our 5 year old got this with his Nintendo DS for Christmas. We love the I Spy PC games, so thought this would be a fun and educational game for his DS. Our major problem is that our 5 year old does not read yet, and the I Spy part of the game does not have a feature that reads the clues like the PC version does. He will certainly enjoy it more once he can read - and there are some challenging sorting games as well that he will enjoy when he is a little older.

Great for kids, fun for adults (once)

As a collector of the PC (computer I SPY) games, I would have to rate this version a little lower (only 4 stars) than the computer I SPY games (which I would rate with 5 stars, easily). It is not as challenging graphically nor on a strategic level. I'm sure it is a wonderful game for younger early reading age children, but it only holds its intrigue for an adult mildly and only once! Still, I will have to admit that it definitely holds it's entertainment value for short periods of time - the colors are great, too!

Interesting

The idea is interesting. I bought this for a gift. I don't have a DS, so I cannot try it out myself. (I"m writing this to get Amazon off my back about submitting a review. Damn, they're getting obnoxious!)

Deff for Kids....

In I SPY Fun House, players find themselves trapped inside a carnival Fun House, tasked with collecting nine inventory items that will "unlock" the exit. Full of twists and turns, optical illusions and surprises around every corner, the Fun House will consist of six I SPY riddle screens, 18 I SPY riddles, and three fast-paced games to challenge the mind. As players pan around the room, they will be able to visually recognize different objects that populate the Fun House. These objects are the gateways into the games and riddles that must be completed to escape the Fun House.

This is a terrific game for kids!!

This game, like the book series, is made for young children. It is intended for kids 5 to 10. It is not made for adults. I think the number of stars for this game is deceptive because some people reviewed the game as if it were for adults...it's not. There are plenty of games for adults but very few for kids in this age range on the market. My kids loved it and I found the puzzles fun enough to do, once.

This game is educational and my granddaughter loves it and is having a great time playing it on her Nintendo.

Too Short

I was excited to get this game since I am only into puzzles games etc. I played it for 2 hours and then everything goes back to square one... As long as you got 10 tickets, you are done. It took me an hour to get the 10 tickets and then each section has only 3 to 4 new riddles, after that, you are doing same riddle all over again. Its not worth the money to have this game, way too short.

Don't do it !

I wish the first review was there before I had bought my 2 days before. Game is not worth the money. Like the first reviewer I am 48 and love the puzzles game and games that make you think. This is not one of them. I'd love to return it. How does one trade it in?
