Before I go into the game, this is nearly identical to the Backyardigans game for DS that came out just a little over a week before it by the same developer. If you already got the Backyardigans game for your child and they loved it, and they happen to like Kai-Lan too, then this is equally recommended, though they might get bored with it since they've already done a lot of this.

But regardless, this is still a nice game to play for children. My daughter was a little over 2 when she discovered the DS and started playing Wario Ware and New Super Mario Bros. Needless to say, this isn't as advanced as those, but she still enjoys playing and is clearly learning a few new things too.

There are two main modes to the game- Story and Free Play. The Story mode is basically an episode of the show but in game form. It follows the title's theme: New Year's Celebration, as Kai-Lan and her friends get ready for the Chinese New Year and all the activities that go along with it. You start out by cleaning Kai-Lan's room (yeah, not the most exciting way to start a game for kids), and go about getting new outfits for everyone, making dumplings, playing musical instruments, coloring, making lanterns and otherdecorations and marching with a dragon. Free play just has you select which activities you want to do without sitting through the semi-cutscenes. A lot of the modes are great for kids and the characters actually tell you what to do, rather than having text pop up that they wouldn't be able to read.

This is an ideal game for kids between 2 and 4, maybe 5. By that age, they should've moved on to other titles, as this is some fairly basic stuff, but it all depends on the child. All the Kai-Lan favorites are here and have good voice quality. Aside from this being too similar to the Backyardigans game, I don't have any complaints. If only more kids games were like this.
