DORA THE EXPLORER: JOURNEY TO THE PURPLE PLANET is a wonderful game that leads very young children and fans of the show on an educational, and yet fun, intergalactic mission. -- Software > Video Game Software - All PlayStation Games - Playstation 2 Games

5 out of 5 stars!   My 2 year old loves it! 2009-12-02

My son started playing this when he was 2 12. He has mastered the controls very quickly. I like the fact that the action button or X button does everything, so he doesn't get confused. And there's no way for him to die. The basic premise of the game is that Dora is on earth when a spaceship lands and some aliens come out and say they need to get back to their planet but their ship is broken. Dora agrees to help them. She finds Isa and her rocket and Dora & Boots embark on a space trip through 4 planets. My son has won the game serveral times, but he continues to want to play it! Dora and Boots are the stars but Map is around, as is Backpack. At various times, just like in the tv show, my son will need to items from backpack to solve problems. It's great! I wish they made more games like this. There's no violence, no way for the characters to get hurt or die, and it helps learn problem-solving, direction, and more. Highly recommended!
