Platform for Display:Nintendo Wii|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
Fun:
This game was rated at age 3+ so i imagined my 3 year old, who has very limited experience of using the wii, would take time to pick it up. Unfortunately, it took so much time, he was bored and went back to playing with something else - I, on the other hand, am very talented (ahem...) with the wii and I too struggled!!! There are few on screen instructions - though it is bright and cheerful - but with no clear concept of what you're supposed to achieve, it was a little dull... Would please the older kids though Im sure, I'll pass it on to my friends primary school agers and see how they get on...

(What's this?)
Fun:
To set the scene, I have a nearly 5 year old daughter. She's a big Bob fan. She's a reasonable Wii fan. That is to say that there aren't many games aimed at this demographic, so she's not addicted just yet.
She got very excited when she saw the game load up, not least because she recognised the story in the background.
Then it all went wrong. The developers have missed a real trick here to get some young fans involved, but this game is just too complicated to pick up.
The first game involves putting colour coded objects into recycling bins, and occasionally wave away Pilchard the cat. First problem, some objects are too large for the colour code underneath to be seen.
The second game involves digging, sawing, and axing different objects. Too many different instructions, too many different actions, not enough time to complete.
The third game is a leaf blower, made overly complicated by having conkers that need to be avoided.
The overreaching trouble with this is that children this age require instant results. They want to be able to do it first time, or at the very worst second or third time. They want a sense of achievement, and they won't get it at all from this game. They shouldn't have to have parental help, because if they do, they won't feel like they've achieved it themselves. And this franchise has such a small age range to aim at, that there's no point aiming it at savvy kids, because they are already on Mario and Sonic.

Fun:
My 9,7 and 4 year old love the Wii and spend a lot of time playing many great games like Mario Super Galaxy and Lego Batman. Even my 4 year old can manage these games. However they all agreed 'Festival of Fun' is 'rubbish'.
The one good point I can think of is there are lots of Bob the Builder animation clips and the voices and clips are authentic 'Bob the Builder' but this doesn't hide the fact the gameplay is poor and difficult. My children particularly hated the fact the games are 'timed' whch led to much stress and performance anxiety as they tried to work out what to do and then found it impossible within the time limits. The lady reading the instructions while the visual control display is up also sounds like she is reading a particularly serious public announcement which completely ruins any fun flow the Bob the Builder clips build up.
Wii games are meant to be pleasurable but this led to tears and tantrums.
I would strongly advise buying something else and don't purchase this if you think it will match the ability age range of preschool children. You will end up having to play this rather frustrating, boring game by yourself.

Too Hard
This game is simply too hard (and hence too dull) for the demographic it is surely aimed at. Avoid.
