Complaint

Todd loves computer games. I do not let him play them much at a time, but he loves them. Many games are educational and he is learning while he is playing. However, he wanted a Cars computer game. I searched for one that seemed to be age appropriate. I found one that was marked 4 and up. That seemed perfect since he is 4 but can play many games that will say 6 and up (Dora, Thomas, Leap frog). We loaded this thing up. He was very excited that to doscoverthat there were a few video clips. Not so fast.. they were locked up until other parts of the game were won. Still, that was not a big deal until we realized he could not win a single game. For any video to be unlocked, you had to win all 10 activities. Here is the kicker, each activity has 5 levels. You have got to be kidding!!! So, I have had to sit and play all of this. Then, to open up ather videos you have to beat your time on all of the activities ad do a race and then beat that time. Come on. It makes me so mad that they marked this 4 and up knowing that no four year old could complete all of these games. He can do the first 2 to 3 levels and that is all. The makers just knew that was the age that really loved this movie. Makes me furious!!
