CSM writes: "In the bluntly titled, Dora Puppy, kids help Nick Jr cartoon star, Dora the Explorer, take care of her puppy, Perrito, and help train him for doggie competitions. Care involves washing and brushing, providing food and water, letting the dog outside to do its business, cleaning up pawprints, and playing several different games with the puppy. Kids earn tokens for each task, which they can use to buy new toys or clothes for Perrito, or to enter him into the Big Puppy Competition. The competition involves helping Perrito run an obstacle course and having him strike poses. All the actions are performed by either tracing certain shapes with the stylus or calling out commands into the DS's microphone."
Guardian writes: "Given the large amount of games available for the under 7s the lack of coverage given to them is a little surprising. Or maybe it isn't. After all most readers – and writers – of mainstream games sites are "hardcore" gamers and unlikely to be too concerned with the latest Spongebob or Thomas the Tank Engine title. The Guardian gamesblog isn't going to reverse this trend too much but given that Keith and I both have young families we do try and do the occasional review or post. Like today for example. I've recently been playing the newly released Dora Puppy with my 4 year old daughter."
