Brief synopsis of EA Playground

Electronic Arts is set to take you back to your childhood. No, don't worry, you can put aside lingering fears of Beefy Bob, the lunch money thief. It's rose-tinted nostalgia that EA is gunning for here.

In EA Playground, you'll wander out into the school yard in search of fun, exploration and friends. The game lays out a series of challenges aimed at a family audience in a bright and cuddly package. Frankly, it's a fair bit cheerier than our collective memory of the schoolyard.

Players make their way through the playground, moving to different areas where they'll find assorted playground games going on - some of them you might have found in your own schoolyard experience. Players go along, collecting the playground's currency of choice - marbles - and trading them for stickers to boost their abilities.

So what kind of games are available? you ask. The Wii version features seven in total, including dodgeball, kicks (modified soccer), paper racers (paper aeroplanes), slot-car racing, tetherball, wall ball, and dart shootout - a kid-friendly rail-based shooting affair with darts.

Rated - 4 starsKids love it

A customer from Bradford , 01/12/2007

MY kids aged 8 and 11 loved this, although some of the games were a little hard to understand especially the football. Great game.

Rated - 4 starsGreat For Pre-Teens

My 10 year old loved this - there were lots of little games for those with short attention spans and it was so nice to see him and his friends playing something that didn't involve killing or maiming for a change. Probably not challenging enough for older kids but we had kids from 4years old to 10 well occupied.

Rated - 4 starsA KIDS ONE THEY WILL LOVE

A customer from Ammanford, Wales , 24/06/2008

Graphics are quite good, and the different games to choose from are quite varied. Keeps kids amused for quite awhile. The only thing is that you need to go through the games for a time, to progress to the rest of the game. Rent it.
