 Definitely worth the money... February 1, 2008

My twin 3-year-old daughters received this for Christmas and LOVE it! One daughter in particular plays with it ALL THE TIME, to the point where Dora is driving me batty! I was amazed at how quickly my daughter figured out how to move the joystick and play the various games (she loves Adventure Play the most), since she's had no exposure to video games previously.
About the adapter: no, it's not included in the box, but neither is it necessary to play with the globe. The globe can take batteries (4 AA), and in my experience I've found them to last a reasonable amount of time. I've changed the batteries once, even though my daughter plays with the globe almost daily.
Excellent toy, better than I imagined it would be.

I love all V-tech items and since I have three daughters am more then appreciative they are buying into the Dora themed products. I love this globe, Dora goes around the world in search of things and the children help find the places on the globe. The only reason I did not give the toy all five stars is because I have only listened to it, not actually played it. I am a believer in learning toys and V-tech is one of the better brands.
 disappointed in VTech January 12, 2008

The globe seems well made, but we wouldn't know yet. VTech DOES NOT INCLUDE the adaptor to plug the toy in w/ the purchase. How disappointing to NOT be able to play w/ your toy on Christmas, b/c VTech is too stingy to include something crucial to playing with this toy. I never heard of anything like this. You know Fisher Price, Little Tikes, Hasbro, etc... wouldn't skimp on a vital piece of their toys. Sorry to say we will never buy another VTECH toy again especially since they certainly don't make it clear that this part ISN'T included. They conveniently leave that info out!!! There are plenty of other game/computer companies out there to buy from!
Ineresting and Educational January 8, 2008
I got this for my 4 yr old as a Christmas gift and she has liked it so far. The joystick is a little temperamental, but once she got the hang of it (she doesn't play any video games), she was fine. It's neat to watch her pick out the countries and find animals and play the games. I just wish there was More for her to do with the software that is installed on it. I'm a little worried that she'll get tired of it soon enough. But in the meantime, I'm enjoying watching her count and learn letter progressions of the alphabet and I'm surprised to find out that she knows more that I thought she did! I'm glad I bought it and I'm sure we'll wear it out eventually!
cute for younger kids January 6, 2008

this was a gift for my 6 year old, she loved it when she opened it and played all the games. it kept her busy for about an hour or so, and then after that she lost interest. i would say around 3-5 is the best age for this toy. it is cute and fun and very enjoyable to watch as they learn about new adventeres and places that dora goes
