Cosmic Family for Wii Reviews by Gamers

Pros:
Easy, easy, easy; something youngsters can play. Very cheery and gratifying narrators. They are easy to understand and give helpful instructions. Turn it on and forget it; young children can play without adult interference or supervision. Funny cartoon clips and all the colors of the rainbow. Different difficulty settings and nice autosave after completion of a level. Option to continue playing the same type of puzzle or game or you can decide to continue with the cosmic story.

Cons:
Only one player; you won't see mini party games here. Variations of the same puzzles. Very bland and solid colors, not much in between.

I borrowed this game from someone for my younger brother and he really enjoyed it. I finally find a game that he actually likes to play and I can't play with him. That's just not right.

This title is designed for very young minds (ages 4-8), which is not very clear in the description on gamefly. All the bad reviews are coming from much older players for which this game was not intended for.

More mature 7 and 8 year olds may not enjoy this title due to the repetition and cheesy clips. However, it does get more challenging if you set it at the highest difficulty. Embarassingly, I was finding myself thinking through some of the puzzles for a few minutes at the hardest level.

This title boasts that children can learn through play, but I am not quite sure what this game is teaching. Besides hand eye coordination, memory, listening, reflex action, puzzle solving, etc. I didn't see any math (yet), or reading. Maybe the things that it does teach will help children process information and to think quickly.

Personally, I don't feel that this title is worth the full price simply because it lacks multi-play. Borrow it from someone else for a few months or rent to see if your child likes it before deciding to buy it.
