Product Description
From Amazon.com
Dora the Explorer has lost her teddy bear! Osito is truly missing, and Dora and her friend Boots believe he has ended up--like all mislaid things--in the mysterious Lost City. Planning an expedition to find Osito becomes complicated, though, when it turns out that Dora is far from the only one missing a personal treasure. Mami Bugga Bugga has lost her children's baby blankets, for one thing, while Pirate Pig has misplaced his hat!
Despite these revelations Dora is on her way soon enough, headed to the Lost City in search of a handful of wayward items. The path is not smooth, however. Obstacles like the Big Pond (where Pirate Pig's minions must be sorted into variously colored boats) and the Number Pyramid (a place for elementary math skills to get a workout) crop up along the route. These and other puzzles cry out to be solved... preferably before Dora continues on her way.
Aimed solidly at players ages 3 and older, Dora the Explorer: Lost City Adventure is a simple game with a straightforward storyline and no unpleasant surprises. The flow of its educational subject matter is frequently broken with animations and songs, making it easier for young gamers to maintain a focus on learning. Its activities are the most basic of skill builders, easily mastered even at their highest levels of difficulty. Lost City Adventure also stimulates user interest by doling out a sprinkling of Spanish vocabulary through its animations, exposing players to a handful of easily learned words from Dora's mother tongue.
As for Dora herself, her good-natured encouragement and enthusiasm for the quest to the Lost City are infectious, and children are certain to respond eagerly to every task she puts before them on the way to rescue Osito. --Alyx Dellamonica

Is a Fine Game,
By apoem "apoem" (Bosque Farms, NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dora The Explorer: Lost City Adventure (CD-ROM)
This is a fine game. I do not think it is as educational as it is billed. However, beyond that, it is a cute game and follows the traditional Dora method... You have a problem and you look at the map and use the things in the back pack to reach the final destination and collect the final item you need. It is my opinion that there are better software games that are educational available. I would probably buy some of the Freddie Fish games and JumpStart games before I would buy this game. I rated it a low three stars (or possibly a high two stars) for several reasons: 1- My son quickly grew bored with this game and stopped playing it after only a few weeks. 2- The voice of Dora is annoying and 3- I don't find Dora educational, and this software is the same- it's not very educational. It doesn't really teach Spanish although Dora will use Spanish once in a while. It doesn't really teach problem solving since the backpack and map and characters Dora runs across pretty much tell her what she needs to do and how. Enjoy.

More advanced than the age rages given, still good product.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dora The Explorer: Lost City Adventure (CD-ROM)
This game was too advanced for my very computer-experienced daughter who is almost 4. It is a great learning game, but definitely not appropriate in the age ranges given. A 5 or 6 year old would appreciate this much better.

Boring!,
By
This review is from: Dora The Explorer: Lost City Adventure (CD-ROM)
I have a 3 year old, and after a week, she is already bored with this game. For $20, there should be more to do. It constantly repeats itself, and has no real direction. Very limited number of activities available, and really no variety. I would not recommend this game at all. I am currently reading reviews to find something much more interesting.
