 A sweet sweet game for little children and absolute beginners September 25, 2007
Maciej K. (Belgium)
This was one of the first games my daughter played. She got it at 4y10m and she immediately loved it. Now, this game is really for little kids, between 3 and 7 I would say, and even a 7 years old with some experience will find it too easy. But as a first game for a little kid this game is really BRILLIANT. It is difficult enough to present a challenge and easy enough to not discourage. Because of the hero (Kitty), this is more a girl thing - although there is also an option to play as Badmaru the Penguin, who is also a good guy but slightly darker in his mood, and can appeal more to boys. There is not real violence - your weapon is a rattle or a baby hammer (Badmaru fights with a frying pan...), the ennemies are blocks and block toys and they do not really die, but disappear or (in the case of level bosses) run for their life squeaking! There is one moment, when little kids will probably ask for assistance, the Block Tank on level 3 - even me I had a short moment of trouble with this darn thing! Otherwise, your child can make way through the whole game without much help.
Me and my daughter we had both lots of fun playing this. When I had to take the commands for a moment, I found that riding around on rollers, wearing a skirt and hitting everything with a rattle is a really liberating experience....
HELLO BRILIANT GAME December 10, 2005

This game is quite frankly the best game I have ever played in my life. The game is endless fun for all the family. The graphics put the XBOX 360 to shame. Hello Kitty is the Japanese equivalent of Halo 2 but better. The first person shoot em up action and storyline can’t be beat. The cute characters make an excellent addition to the already perfect game play. A games console isn’t worth having without this game, it’s what made the PS2 so successful.
(come to think about it its the only game I've played since its release)
 Sanrio Fans Enjoy October 16, 2005

It is quite hard rating this game, but I feel the 3 stars I gave it is fair. I really enjoyed this game and I am very happy to have bought it, so it is almost sad I cannot give it more stars for the pleasure it provided. I have to be fair though - the game was definitely short. The length would not have bothered me that much, if other details had been incorporated instead - like more things to collect, especially more sanrio character profiles and items/accessories. That would give more value, as it was already very enjoyable trying to unlock everything. The controls took me by surprise, there was almost nothing that bothered me control or camera wise. Very crisp, very nice, very easy to use. The bright colors certainly won't let you get blue while playing this game. The game does not offer too much by way of excitement though, a lot of the levels appear slightly too similar, that is why I think this is a game best suited for a Sanrio fan. I do believe that platform gamers can enjoy this game whether or not they are Sanrio fans, but you definitely won't get as much from it if you aren't. There has been a lot of apprehention about this game, calling it kiddy and 'too easy'. If you wish to unlock everything in this game you will find yourself stumped a number of times, and while getting the best rating for every stage will be easy most of the time, there will be a good number of times where you will have to replay the stage. All in all, this game is not less challenging than Luigi's mansion (i might venture far enough to say that final boss aside, it is slightly more challenging even) and noone is complaining about that game! So don't be prejudiced, give it a try.
 Sweet but short October 9, 2005

Very very short.
This game is pretty sickly sweet, but in general I quite like that. Hammers that leave trails of tiny hearts are endearing. The colours are so rich that you'll need to turn the colour down on your telly. Much effort has clearly gone into making an authentic Hello Kitty world, but unfortunately this game lacks any real charm or creativity (unlike, say, Animal Crossing) and thus feels solely like a piece of merchandising. To such an extent, in fact, that as you play you feel embarrassed to have been sucked in.
Your embarrassment won't last long, though, because the real deal-breaker in this game is it's length. It's almost criminally short, perhaps a couple of hours taken at a leisurely pace, and once you finish, that's it. Don't expect new levels to be unlocked, or new features to open up. The game is rated at 3+, but much older than three and you'll have a bored child on your hands very quickly. This is the first game I've bought which I consider to be a waste of money.
