   I got this for my kids not expecting much other than a shameless cash in.. but both my 10 year old and 5 year old adored this game. The recreation of the park is excellent, with all the major landmarks lovingly recreated, the games are varied and fun, the characters are fun and there is so much to do it will keep them coming back for a long time to come. Kids will love this (as will adults who are children at heart). Possibly the best Kinect title to date. Congratulations to Frontier on this!… Expand

   While the park recreation is almost 100% accurate and perfectly captures the otherworldly magic of Disneyland, the use of the Kinect technology is SO vastly underdeveloped, there is no way to even know what you are doing in most of the Attractions, let alone figure out how to excel at them. While the idea is fantastic, numerous mini-games that use every form of movement-based gaming there is, the potential is simply never met, to an endlessly frustrating degree. Even just trying to get around the world and access an inventory menu becomes a tedious endeavor. Plus, giving this to a child almost feels….wrong. Would you want your kid dedicating 50 hours to pretending to be at Disneyland? Being encouraged to hug strange people in giant character suits and buy 20 autograph books? It's one thing to be older and feel nostalgic about your own time at Disneyland as you play, but to try this game at an impressionable age, perhaps even before going to Disneyland to begin with, diluting the magic of seeing the park for the first time? There's so much unmet potential in this game, I wonder if I'd be more forgiving to the overall message of a Disneyland Park video game, had the gameplay taken proper advantage of the Kinect technology and helped create something truly special. Unfortunately, we'll never know. In any event, I would recommend at least taking this strange meeting of the awful and wonderful for a test spin. At the end of the day, dancing to "Almost There" with Princess Tiana, virtual or not, was pretty damn cool. And I can't deny that, ultimately, that kind of moment is why a kid would want to play this title.… Expand

   Very buggy. It was a big disappointment for the kids (ages 5-8). I really thought being a first party Microsoft game that this would be the hit of our Christmas gifts but it has so many issues that it takes the fun out of it. Direction of the characters is poor, finding the rides i difficult, co-op is near impossible to play. Waste of money. I wish redbox had of had it so I could have rented it first and chose another game.… Expand
