    Double Fine has achieved an amazing feat with Once Upon a Monster. Not only is the game ideal for children in both design and presentation, but it is a game that parents will want to play with their kids.

    Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is an excellent family-friendly experience that kids will learn a lot from and adults will have fun with. This is definitely a game that lives up to the Sesame Street name.

    Falls victim to problems not of its own making, but it's still a charming, kids game. [Christmas 2011, p.88]

    Looks like there are some strange reviews on here. I love this game to play with my kids, and they love playing it as well. I am obviously their target audience with children under 10 years old and a little bit of time to play here and there. My wife, a non-gamer, even said she would like to play this cute game with me and the kids. Basically, there are several story lines to help the Sesame Street puppets get through. The game involves arm waving, body posing, matching games, and other simple things to get a young person's mind thinking and working to coordinate personal actions with actions on-screen. It's lighthearted fun and gets you and/or your children up and moving.

    For me, this game alone makes the Kinect worth owning.    … Expand

    best 50 bux i ever spent, as this is truly a monster of a game... before you spend hundreds of your parents dollars sucking down activision's annual "call of duty" enema, stop being casual filth and support companies that look out for "TRUE GAMERS"… Expand
