3 Months and going Strong [Posted on 2008-06-05]
Got this game 3 months ago for my daughter's birthday and she still loves it. It's simple enough, but there are challenges. She is still learning good sportsmanship. I love how they can play without it being a competition (there's that option on the dvd). All in all I love it and so does she.

Not worth the aggravation!!!!! [Posted on 2008-06-14]
My 4 yr old really enjoys this game, but the fact that the parents have to constantly press the remote for the game to continue is the games only real downfall. These gamemakers should realize that a mother has so much more to do in a day besides pressing a button on a remote. And for what you get I think $30 is a ridiculus price, thank goodness I got it for a great price of $[...] in which is all it is worth...

Fun and we COULD skip the commercials [Posted on 2008-07-15]
We have this game and were able to skip the commercials at the beginning by pushing the enter button on the remote. During hte game we showed our two-year-old which button to push when the picture of the remote came up, and she had fun doing that part too. We really loved it, and it's great for her age range. It also depends on which game you choose of the 3 on the DVD.

Good idea, bad execution [Posted on 2008-07-23]
The idea behind The Candyland DVD is great. However, a moron designed it. Your children cannot do this game alone and will get bored halfway through. A parent or older child has to press the 'enter' key on the remote every 90 seconds or so. So you can't even run to the bathroom, take a phone call, or get dinner started while your kids are playing the game.

There are also lots of annoying segments throughout the game that have nothing to do with the game. For instance, "Lord Licorice" makes an appearance occasionally to bother the host, but my kids just stand there staring at him wondering when they can play again.

If you are looking for an activity your kids can do by themselves or with minimal parental involvement, this is not the game to buy! Or if your kids are used to more high-energy, fast action games, this is not for them!

So slow paced - not worth the time OR money [Posted on 2008-09-03]
I agree with the people who say the pace is too slow and the controls are terrible. You can never skip ahead, even if you decide to play a different game within the dvd - you're forced to wait through the entire game cycle. And trust me, kids will often want to bail out on a game before it's finished, because they're just not much fun. The board game version is ten times better.
