I bought this game for my 5 y/o lad as a present and he loves it. I would probably recommend it for ages 8+ as I'm a seasoned gamer and found a few parts a little difficult and had to help him in the story mode. It's a little difficult in parts in a good way, basically learn the pattern of the level by trial and error and you'll soon get through. Now I'm not going to go in to detail as to what the game consists of as you will be able to read that elsewhere in the reviews but what I will say is everything about this game is sheer quality, not your usual movie tie in game at all. It consists of the Story Mode which I think is 8 levels and then where it really comes to life is the Toy Box Mode. This is a free roaming landscape where you can do almost anything from purchasing characters, vehicles, clothes, hairstyles, weapons (fun kid friendly ones), customisable buildings, races, collectables quests, photography, rescuing people, herding cows, destroying aliens etc. The more you do the more unlocks for you to do and it has kept my boy entertained for a long,long time (I do regulate the time he spends playing video games).
The thought that has gone in to this package is astounding from the level design, graphics, quests, and humour right down to even small little touches really shows. I cannot recommend it highly enough, I have played probably 100+ Xbox games and this would definitely be in my top 10. Apologies for the grammar, spelling and disjointed nature of my brief review as it was a little rushed. If anyone doesn't enjoy this game please post a comment as I'd be intrigued to know the reasons why.
