Learning with the PooYoos: Episode 2 - Nintendo Wii Review

Positives

Doesn't go overboard with the educational aspect, which makes it all the more effective.
Easy to play, even for the youngest gamers.
Bright, colourful characters will entertain children (and Sarah) alike.

Negatives

With only two paths, and three stages in each, it's all over pretty quickly - around half an hour's gameplay in total.
The fact the American voiceover woman says "Zee" rather than "Zed", which makes it a bit useless for teaching British English.
Probably not deep enough to entertain a six year old.

3 and up

10/10

Controls

Precision controls for older children, matched by incredibly basic, and easy to use schemes for the youngest.

10/10

Learning Curve

There really isn't that much of a learning curve at all - although you may have to sit with your child for at least the first few times through as they learn the ropes.

Overall

While a few more educational elements wouldn't go astray, for young children, this will go down a treat.

9/10
