undercover penguins, 22 Dec 2005
I bought this for my 7 year, which may have been a little ambitious, as the game does get more difficult the more levels you complete, but she was perfectly happy to play on it.
Firstly you penguin is sent on various missions, but has to complete the training first. The training is easy and your penguin has to complete a downhill race with obsticles in your way to jump over. Once done, you are sent to see Marty, Alex, Gloria and Melman to get objects from them so you can escape from the Zoo to the South Pole. They in turn will send you on other missions to get something for them. This missions take you all over the Zoo, but you are not allowed to be seen by either the Park keepers or other humans. There are various things to help you, candy canes, so you can go along the gutters, fizzy drinks bottles which will lift you higher than jumping etc. There are also dangers, Smaller animals,like spiders and scorpions, but they are easily dealt with by punching them.
The game is fun, but for younger gamers could be difficult in places. For older gamers, they might find that the repeated levels are boring. They may also find it unchallenging. I would say the games is ideal for 7-10yrs.

Penguins undercover!, 18 Dec 2005
I bought this game for my 7 year daughter, which may have been a bit ambitious as occaisionally she passed the game to me to play. Your penguin is trained and then is sent on a number of missions to get various objects from, Gloria, Alex, Melman and Marty, they in turn want something which you have to get first. The story centres mainly around the zoo. The penguins are trying to escape but need a number of objects before they go. If you do not complete the levels then you will not be able to go any further into the game until you do. For each mission you are given specialist equipment! Like a pair of candy walking canes, and these will help you across the guttering etc, also fizzy drink bottles will help you to go higher. By the way these penguins can run and jump, but for swimming they need a rubber ring!
The levels get more complicated and my daughter got lost when she had to 'whack' 20 birds, as they are high up in the trees and finding them can get confusing. This must all be done without the zoo wardens or any of the visitors seeing you, but there are plenty of places to hide.
The game is relatively un-challenging for older, more experienced gamers, but is perfectly suitable for the young and new gamers. I would say the age range is 6-8yrs if they are new to the Gameboy.
