is this game suitable for 4 year olds?

Absolutely... I bought this for my four year old and he loves it. The cars sometimes get jammed and they will need your help, but it is tons of fun.

Definitely not. I had a blast playing this with my siblings and we're 33, 30, 27 and 18. She'll love it.

It would probably be most appropriate for 4-5 year olds. I bought it for my 6 year old son and he was done with it in about 20 minutes.

The games are not very challenging for older children. In my opinion it is programmed for children ages 3-6. My son is 8 and shows no interested in it, however, all children's interests and learning capacities differ from age to age. My 4 year old gets the most use out of the Vtech laptop.

I think so, however the youngest I've known to play it is 8. If the 6 yr old grasps instructions well then he should be fine. It's the explanation of various combinations vs. just colour combos that may frustrate him. But there is no reading involved so he may just enjoy it for the combinations and patterns.

yes my son has been playing since he was 4 with some assistance, its really a great family game, my older kids (7& 9) enjoy playing too

I played the game with my 11 year old brother. The game is difficult for a 10 or 11 year old. They will not know what many of the words or phrases mean, or how to describe them in a short amount of time. The game itself is not inappropriate for someone of that age, but it is difficult.

I think the youngest appropriate age would be about 5 or 6. My 6 year old nephew played it pretty easily.

I think it is challenging enough for a 12 year old, a bit hard for a four year old but would still really enjoy it with some help. My 9 1/2 year old loves it.A 12 year old would probably tolerate it, it is geared toward kids about 6-10 I think. But it would challenge her since you have to memorize several things at once. I would definitely depend on the child. My 7 and 9 years olds like games Citizens of Catan, Monopoly, and easy ones like yatzee, and uno. I enjoy it as an adult, its fun

Yes, I'd say so. The game features typical "Mario & Luigi"-style cartoon mischief, involving jumping and hammer attacks on enemies. A seven-year-old might find the game a bit challenging, but I don't see any age-related content issues.

No. I bought it for my 2 year old and even my 4 year old is entertained by it. It has many functions, once they figure it out then they just have fun playing with it.

My granddaughter are 4 & 7 and they both enjoy playing the game although the 4 year old doesn't get the whole idea of the rules yet.

I purchased this for my four year old. My twelve and nine year old play with him as does my two year old :) I would say it's best for 3-5 year olds.

No, It is even challenging for 7 year olds. Unless your child is very bright. They have to ask questions and then be able to know what to do with the yes and no train of thought, but fun game for 8 and up. Even adults.

This may be too difficult for the 7 and 4 year old...it is heavy on timing, tough platforming and rigorous boss fighting mechanics memorization. I remember playing games like this at 9 years old, but old school games were mostly incredibly difficult as the norm! It is definitely not like Skylanders, Infinity or Smash Bros...I would get them Mario Kart 8 or Nintendo Land if you didn't get it with the Wii U system.

I own the game and I would say about 8+, or really any child who is adept at using a DS and can read words with 10-12 characters and understand. It does demand a decent understanding of the English language and a basic understanding of how towns work and what "ordinances" are and things like that. Nothing is inappropriate or bad for young eyes/ears but it takes a good amount of knowledge to decipher the directions and conversations.That being said, if you plan on helping the child out with reading and things and play time, it's perfectly fine for any age :).
