They learn faster than you think, I heard there are even special consoles and cellphones designed for them now and they're flying off the shelves.
Anything designed for kids is flying off the shelves.

When I said anything with Little People in it, i meant in the title!
Why? You think Little People aren't good enough to be in a game? That's offensive!

From the looks of it (haven't tried it yet), I think this game hits a paradox: children mature enough to handle a computer (even if it's basic mouse interface) would find this game unappealing, and children young enough to find this game appealing wouldn't have the cognitive development to handle a computer, would they?

I doubt my 6-year old son, who is able to blunder around in a Windows desktop, would find this game interesting for more than 2 minutes (although that might be due to premature contact with PS2); I believe that might be true even with my 4-year old niece, who is still in the button-mashing stage and love cute fluffy animals. I'll guinea-pig them through it a little, then let you know the results of my experiment.

You have a point there.

I guess if you have a really young child, you can help them use the computer. But they still wouldn't understand what they are doing.

My little cousin, who is 2 and a half, she uses my computer, with the help of me, but all she does is click the mouse, wondering whats going to happen next.

She can barely talk...

She still finds it interesting though, I think. :whistle:

Taskmaster Actually my 2.5 year old handles the mouse fairly well. She plays Green Eggs and Ham just fine and she loves Chicken Hunter. She laughs like crazy when she hits a chicken and she is actually aming. She just cannot hit the moving chickens easily yet.

She liked both LP Farm and LP Main Street.

Jordan Never-mind, I was thinking about those Little People toys that small kids have..LOL

Stroggy The people in Little People aren't that small either, and neither are the sims very big (it's the drinking water)
