(Whoa, almost forgot that one!)
PooYoos 3
brings us back to the same world as the preceding two demos. The
child is greeted by an adorable pig, and then a mini-game begins. In
this one, the pig hides in one of two holes in the ground. After
which he reappears and goes to hide behind some orange clouds.
...Yes, clouds are orange here. Anyway, in this mini-game, two
PooYoos of different colors appear on every round, walk towards the
holes, and jump in them. The child's task is to press either the
directional pad or the A button to identify in which hole fell a
PooYoo of a particular color. It's very simple, as very animal
species comes in only one color. In Big PooYoo mode, there are four
holes, and thus the game is a bit more difficult. Plus, the child has
to select the hole by putting the cursor over it and press A.
After that
mini-game is over, the little pig jumps to another place. The
narrator suggests the child learns the name of the body parts thanks
to a song. Oh hey, so every demo worked that way? First a mini-game,
then a dance? Huh, that's an odd pattern, but if it's fun for kids,
it works. Plus, this time around, the song is done a first time at
regular speed, then once at a faster pace and once again at a slower
pace. In case the kids couldn't follow even the first time, I guess?
Anyway,
this is just the exact same thing as the other two installments. I'm
glad the mini-games change, though there is always a dance section after
the mini-game. Aside from that, what can I add? Like the other two,
it's innocent, it's cute, it's for young children, and it's certainly good for children to have some interactivity. First it's the PooYoos,
then before you know it they start playing Kirby's Epic Yarn or any
of the learning Sesame Street Wii games. Again, no children, so I
won't buy the full version, but those three PooYoo episodes are definitely fun
for kids, and I'm sure they can keep them busy for a while.
Now that
all three of these demos have been reviewed, I need to go back to
more adult entertainment. I'm gonna watch a horror film tonight.
