5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for young Thomas fans! 24 Nov 2010
By Jessica
Platform for Display:Nintendo DS
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I bought this game for my 4 years old boy who is a big fan of Thomas the tank.
I am very happy with the game. It has 8 activities such as painting Thomas, sorting parts or racing the engines and many different characters from the show. The graphics are very good for a DS game I have to say.
My son really enjoys the game and he always laught when he finishes a level. It is a game with a lot of replay value too.
Highly recommended for any Thomas' fans!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good old Thomas does it again 24 Nov 2010
By Jules J
Platform for Display:Nintendo DS
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
I bought the Hero of the Rails DS game to try and encourage my 11 year old autistic son to play his DS, which he got last Christmas opened and put it in a drawer. He has always been a big Thomas fan so I thought I'd dust the DS down and give it a go.

We sat down together and worked out what to do. Harvey got the hang of it pretty quickly and enjoyed maybe 5 full minutes the first time. This is a result for a child who also has A.D.D. Who knows one day he may sit still and concentrate with time.

But we are off the mark and I dream of the day when I can say, "Harvey you've been on that DS for far too long".

I have given the game 4/5 because it took the game makers far too long to bring a Thomas game out but secretly give it 6/5 for getting there in the end.

All budding Thomas fans will like it and suss it out very quickly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thomas, entertaining and fun even for a 2yr old! 31 Jan 2011
Platform for Display:Nintendo DS
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
This was the game that came with the new Nintendo Dsi XL that I purchased for my 6yr old son. He is autistic and unable to read.
He has had endless hours of fun on this game and so has his 2yr old brother.

It is based around the latest DVD release 'Hero of the Rails', which they also love. You can chose from the story or games options...the story is interactive and is narrated as it is on the DVD.
There is no need for a child to be able to read when playing this game, as instructions are given verbally by the narrator. I think this is why it has been such a hit with my sons!

Definitely not a disappointment in this household :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the little ones! 19 April 2011
Platform for Display:Nintendo DS
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Having bought a dsi xl for my two year old (as she kept using her older brothers!!)I wondered how she would cope using this game independently. I need not have worried!! This is by far the best game we have purchased so far for her. It is easy to use, extremely interactive & actually quite educational too. It is great for developing memory skills & excellent at developing young children's hand eye co-ordination. Also, as most of the instructions are verbally given there is no need for your child to be able to read........ A great buy for the under fives!! As a primary teacher & mother I would give this a BIG thumbs up for the early years child.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good game for 3-4year old Thomas fan 18 Feb 2011
By Angel
Platform for Display:Nintendo DS
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
This game is good for any child (aged 3-4 yrs), who is a fan of Thomas the tank engine. It has 8 mini games. Lots of different activities to carry out.

However, my 4year old, only played with it a couple of times and not touched it since. He said it was too short and that it wasn't exciting enough.

I would buy this game, only as a first DS game for a 3-4 yr old, in addition to other games, they already own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big hit with my 3 1/2 yr old! 27 Mar 2013
By Ralph
Platform for Display:Nintendo DS|Amazon Verified Purchase
My 3 yr old son is a big Thomas fan and he really loves this game. It is easy enough for him to play on his own but it still keeps him interested weeks later. The activities are linked by a story which is a lovely touch and the animation is great.

Bought for a three year old.
He loves the game, easy for him o follow alone or a little harder if a grown up reads bits for a bit more to play.
Three year old really loves Thomas so was a big hit
