The Black Eye Peas Experience
Out now on Xbox 360 Kinect, Ninetendo Wii (Pegi 12) 5 Stars
Parent View:
The Black Eye Peas Experience is so much fun. All ages will love this game no matter your dance skill. Kidz take advantage of the Mum and Dad enjoying the party atmosphere a little too much and force them to play.The game is rated Pegi 12 – with the content no different to anything on MTV.
This game will certainly be the feature for Kidzcoolit HQ’s New Years Eve party.
Get Up and Dance
Out now on Wii and PS3 Move (Pegi 12) 5 Stars
Parent View:
Kidz love these dance games and they’re perfect for the party season. As with all Dance games it carries a Pegi 12 due to the music content – although most of these songs can be seen playing throughout the day on all music channels. The Pegi 12 is a little cautious – on ability any child will enjoy.
Kirby’s Adventure Wii
Out Now on the Nintendo Wii (Pegi 7) 5 Stars
Parent View:
Wonderful Kidz platform game for both boys and girls of all ages. With its 4 player mode – makes for great family entertainment and party experience over the festive season.
Hag (age 7) and Con (age 4) have played this game 3 or 4 times over the last year and I see absolutely no reason for the Pegi 7 rating. Its a really good game for all ages and less violent than Tom and Jerry. Looking like Con’s game of the year right now – he talks about it all the time and says its the best game ever!!!
Just Dance 3
Out now on Xbox 360, PS3,Wii, (Pegi 12) 4 Stars
Parent View:
Perfect Party season game for the whole family. Not too certain why it carries a Pegi 12 – you can see all the songs from the playlist at any time of day on MTV.
Just Dance 3 Song preview:
We Dance
Hag: Kung Fu Fighting
Con: Carwash
Out Now from all good retailers (Pegi 7) Hag 4 Stars/Con 5 Stars
Parent View:
Three options available – (Easy) Dance with Controller, (Medium) Dance with Mat, (Hard) Dance with Both. DWC and DWM will be fine for Kidz 5 years and up. DWB may be a little too complicated for some Kidz under 10 years. As far as Dancing games go this is the most sensitive product available on the Wii. The song Kung Fu Fighting was a favourite with Hag and Con. Pegi 7 is probably the right rating based on ability – but there’s no reason a child under 7 couldn’t enjoy the game. Games like this are great for family events and parties.
Crayola Mix-a-Roo game
Out now from all good retailers (4 year +) 5 Stars
Parent View:
Its really funny listening to Hag talk about this game – he’s genuinely amazed by the Colour mix part of the game like its some kind of sorcery. Played at Hag’s School Games club by bundles of Kidz and apparently loved by all aged from 5 to 8 years old.
We Sing UK Hits (Two Mic Pack)/We Sing Robbie Williams/Rock
Out now for Nintendo Wii (Pegi 12) Hag 5 Stars/ Tobias 3 Stars/ Megan 4 Stars
Parent View:
Very impressive pop and Rock Playlist with a great mix of current and past favourites. I can see this game being very popular over the festive season for the whole family. The Pegi 12 rating is a very cautious grade – most of these songs are seen daily on Music channels before the watershed. Kidz love singing and Dancing games – so this would make a great gifting idea for Xmas and Birthdays.
Robbie and Take That fans will love the Robbie Williams version of the game – includes all his greatest hits plus the duet with Gary Barlow ‘Shame’. At £9.99 – a bargain!!!

Michael Jackson: The Experience

Parent View:
Hag and Con want to play this game all the time. Show me a generation that doesn’t enjoy dancing and singing to Michael Jackson’s music and then add the Kinect magic. A fantastic game the whole family will enjoy together.
