Here's what I've figured so far. Most sports games like Madden Football/NBA 2K3 - 2nd grader could figure out some basic plays, and other kids can play along Soccer games - probably the best since kids just move wherever. SSX Tricky - little kids can make it down the hill and still have fun Pac Man World 2 - Cute E-rated storyline, but early on, it implies a lot of platforming skill so it can be frustrating. Then only the parents will be playing the game. Same with Kingdom Hearts and Scooby Doo. DDR - getting them dancing is good, but other than the simplest Workout mode it requires too much coordination. Nascar Thunder 2004 - NO WAY. Kids get stuck on the track too easily and oval tracks are BORING. Better to go with Mario Kart. Pokemon - good, especially on portables. I'm guessing Mario Party is good for all ages. If you got any recommendations, including Nintendo, Xbox, and other consoles/portables, please share.

I just wonder if those movie games (spongebob, finding nemo, monsters inc) are any good. OK, this will probably date me, but I remember that the Atari 2600 had super-easy Kid-level difficulty games.

But if you're talkin' PS2 that's kind of hard since i don't pay attention to game releases on the platform anymore... still, any animated movie tie in is always a good choice and i hear The Golden Compass is out right now too.

Resident Watchdog Posts: 2,761 Group: Global Moderators Member #6,231 Joined: January 3, 2005	I got to play Guitar Hero with my nephews and nieces over the Winter holiday, and they are quite good at it, but then my daughter trashed the disc by yanking on the controller and sending the console to its doom. So the $53.24 lesson is: Guitar Hero III bad for preschoolers, OK for elementary schoolers.
