Product Description
From Amazon.ca
In Dora the Explorer: Backpack Adventure Dora and Boots need help returning Dora's library books. Along the way, kids solve problems, figure out puzzles, play fun games, and even learn a little Spanish. Three difficulty levels and two play modes, as well as multiple locations, discovery clickables, and an onscreen sticker book extend the adventures. Joining Dora and Boots are friends Benny the Bull, Isa the Iguana, and Tico the Squirrel, but beware the Grumpy Old Troll and that sneaky fox, Swiper. With Dora, even returning books to the library becomes an adventure!

This is the second copy of this game I've had. My three year old granddaughter is quite the Dora fan.
The first CD was apparently damaged....only the "choice" version worked...couldn't use the "game" half.
So.....purchased a replacement. The characters are cute and charming but the movement from one game to another is very frustrating. Even the three year old thinks the computer has frozen while waiting for the next segment to appear. Pretty frustrating for a three year old...and the adult "playing" the game with her.
Visually it's clever and enjoyable but the mechanics do not measure up.
Except that if the child you are getting this for is a confirmed Dora fan, I wouldn't recommend it. The little Dora lovers are a tad more forgiving.

Well I would give this more stars if Atari support weren't so terrible!! The only reason I give it 2 stars is because my daughter loves Dora and likes playing this game because there are plenty of activities to try and places to go. HOWEVER, Atari seems to want to force you (due to their prehistoric copy-protection scheme) to keep the CD-ROM in the drive at all times in order to play the game! How ridiculous! Even though I paid good money for this game and it installed on my hard drive, it does not let you run it from your hard drive. Atari told me that you need to have the CD-ROM in to play it and they "cannot help me get around the copy protection". Well I don't know about anyone else's toddlers, but my 2 year old just loves to open the CD-ROM and take discs out to play with. So this leaves me out of luck if the disc becomes scratched after she's done with it! I think Atari should trust their paying customers a little more and allow them to install the game FULLY to their hard drive... if for nothing else to protect their investment! I will never buy another game by Atari because of this. They have no regards for their paying customers.

My daughter liked this game the first time she played it, but half way through the second time, she was bored. Each time you play, you go through the same set of games, in the same order, with the same outcome. Nothing is ever different from the time before, and it doesn't take very long. There is also not much educational value. This is not worth the money at all. If you want Dora games, there are plenty of them at Nickjr.com.
