 Full Retail vs DLCOct 31, 2011
By JasonMK
Great game, can't say enough about it. Whether you are a fan of the orginal, or this is your first time, you will love this game...if you keep in mind it is a kids game. Nothing more, but way too cute. BUT WARNING, you don't seem to have to shell out $50 for the "now with bears" if you own the 1st game. For about $15 you can get the bears as a DLC add on.

Enthralled My 6 Year-Old DaughterDec 31, 2011
By dugn
We own all of the Kinect titles for kids and this one has taken my daughter by storm. It's far and above her favorite title. Forget the dancing, rafting and sports titles. This one has stolen her heart (in a good way).
My 6 year old girl gets a lot of joy out of taking her bears/cats on various adventures. And as a dad, I'm impressed with the re-playability of this game. The landscape for adventures and puzzles is immense and I don't see her finishing off all of the adventures for months to come.
As for the bears, they're nice to have as an option (as well as the additional island for their adventures). But even with the cats alone, this game is a ton of immersive fun.
A FEW TIPS
Animal Gestures - There are two pages in the instruction booklet that show you how to make your bear do tricks (motions you make so the cats roll over, stand on their hind legs, etc.) and use spoken commands to switch the play mode (grab a toy from the toy box, view the map, etc.). Copy these two pages, laminate them and keep them handy. It's hard for anyone (grown-ups included) to remember all of these maneuvers that are needed frequently throughout the game. Especially useful if you put the game down for a few days and forget these needed gestures.
Occasionally Need To Read - Unless your child can read, a parent helping out the first few times will go a long way. The fairy-like assistant in the game will step your child through a number of things verbally and even demonstrate with her little fairy body any movements you have to make. But she doesn't repeat herself in certain situations. And a little text prompt will appear instead. If your child can't read the prompt (like, "Get your bear to stand on its hind legs by holding your arms out in a `T' shape"), they might not be able to complete a challenge before the timer runs out.
OTHER THOUGHTS
The game is delightfully forgiving. There's no "Awww - too bad!" when a child doesn't complete a timed challenge in the allotted time. Your child is free to roam around and perform free play, play 'in the world' and just rub, scratch or clean her little pet instead of being nagged to complete the next step of an adventure or challenge.
My daughter enjoys collecting the points necessary to add items to her collection to outfit her little cat's home. It's like a mini online collection (and far less messy than the Polly Pocket paraphernalia all over her bedroom floor).
Overall, a good, immersive game that's got tons of repeat playability for little kids 5 and older.

A real HIT with my grandsonDec 15, 2011
By D. Kirk
My 4 year old grandson is enthralled with this game. He kept going to the TV screen to touch the animals. Thanks Microsoft for a great update.

 Not engaging even for a 5 yo, cute factor wears off fastJan 22, 2012
By geekster
After the 2 plays worth honeymoon, the "wow!" factor got old fast. There is too much annoying narration, the gameplay is not engaging, even for single-digit young kids let alone for older ones. The game designers got tangled and lost in that dumb and dumber yada-yada yakety-yak of a storyline that made no sense whatsoever. Activities are tedious and boring, quote "what, do I have to throw these dumb disks again? Not again, you go throw yourself." The controller has trouble interpreting the player's moves which drives kids mad. She tries to throw the disk, but the disk gets stuck in the middle of the screen going nowhere or falls flat in front of her. The game gives most feedback in writing, small font, the kid must be old enough to read fast to play unassisted. Of all activities in the cats world, it's mostly throwing: throwing disks, boots, balls, sprinkling water from the hose and not much else. Bears world adds climbing, juggling and fishing which are not a iota more exciting either. Admiring the top notch 3D modeling and a good soundtruck is not worth the money; I'd price this game fair and square $5 as a showcase of the new technology.

 ONLY ONE CAN PLAY!Feb 06, 2012
By J. Connelly
"Regular guy"
Don't be fooled by the package that says "1 to 4 players" - its a lie, only ONE person can be an active player at a time, which leaves the other kid out! It even tells the other player to get out of the game! Fraudulent advertising and way to expensive for a one-person player game.
