Ultimate I Spy - Nintendo Wii

My 4 year old son has already mastered all of the I Spy PC games and books and apparently they have stopped making new titles in either so we were hungry for anything new in I Spy. We got a Wii not too long ago and when we saw this we just had to get it.The images are 3D and very realistic; you rotate your way around and through them to find the items. (one example is an aquarium that you 'swim' through) The images are very detailed and some of the items are very small so if you don't have a super steady hand it can get frustrating but I think it will get better for him with time. Also, my son sits in a bar stool type chair to play this because the 'mouse' kept getting stuck because of his height. This has never been a problem with any of the other games but with this one, he seems to need a boost.Usually in each image there are 2 or 3 interactive items (out of about 6 or 8) that you find and interact with. (i.e. a paper heart that you cut out using the remote, a paper airplane that you fly and steer) These are actually quite tricky and take a couple of tries to get them right. This is great for paying attention to instruction as well as great hand/eye coordination.All in all very fun (for everyone) and a MUST for any I-Spy fan!

This game has been a hit since my stepdaughter received it for Christmas. My wife thought it would be fun so we got it and everyone is loving it. I have stayed up past midnight playing!It's not just pictures that you have to pick items out Like most I Spy Games. It's 3D images where everything is animated when you click on it. It also has a scavenger hunt and fun games to play in the puzzles as well as by themselves. I would recommend this game to any family with children. Even if you are just into search games this is the one for you.The only downfall I have seen so far is that it only gives you savings for three people. We have four in the family so one of us has to use everyone else.

Great game

Being the type to kinda jump into playing, it took a little while to get the hang of how the controls for the game work. Ultimate eye spy allows you to control the user view by the arrow buttons on your wii remote. This has the effect of zooming in on parts of the puzzle.My 5 year old daughter has been a puzzle fanatic since she was one. She needs a little bit of help as some of the puzzles can be frustrating - but that is what puzzles are !!! The brilliance of this game is that it builds learning of many basic concepts, including flight dynamics (paper airplane), propulsion, spelling etc. The interaction compared with other learning games is unmatched, making the game enjoyable.Most importantly, because the interweaving of levels of difficulty, this game should appeal to many elementary school children K-5.

My husband and I like this game. We like that we can play it together. I orignally purchased for my 6 y/o son who loves searching games. He got frustrated with the wii remotes. You have to touch the item very specific or it will not code as being found. Also as you move into the game, you have seen the scenes before and can get bored quick. I play for a while and leave it alone (a week) then play some more. That gives your brain time to forget where some things are located.

I purchased this for my son who is a big fan of the books. We've really enjoyed this game. It captures the spirit of the books and adds in a little whimsical activities to go along with the puzzles.

We loved this game we finished it within a week of having it.

The beginning of the game starts with a crank that you have to turn to unlock the I spy game. It took us awhile, at least a minute, just to 'turn' the crank with the Wii remote.It's somewhat easy to look around the scene (the one we played was in a fish tank) and find the items on the list (by the way, every time you want to see the list you have to press 1). However, if you click on the fish in the tank it forces you to play a fish racing game. The race game is okay but you have to place in the top three to complete it. It's all fairly easy just time consuming and not in a fun way.

Game was in great shape-the case was completely thrashed. Had to throw it out so no place for the disc now
