Game Review:

Franklin a Birthday Surprise is a 3D platform adventure game in the cartoon universe including arcade sequences and mini games. The game is targeted at children aged 3-8 years. The platform levels scroll sideways and have been designed to immerse the child into Franklin’s Universe – their favorite cartoon! The mini games are small arcade type games, which are unlocked as rewards as the child advances through the game. The player can replay the games on a multi-player basis with friends and family.

Thomas & Cola’s Comments:
While the game guarantees hours of fun for the more sophisticated “kid-gamer”, the younger audience might be overwhelmed with big levels and the large amount of items to collect.

Great game for kids and family, 2007-01-23

Reviewer: CAVA

This game is simply great. Our seven year old son has had a of fun with it and even my wife, who is not a Video Games fan, has enjoyed the game. The game is for small kids and it is what you would expect of a Franklin Video Game, I mean, no violence and simply histories.

If you are a "Fast Action" video game fan, this game is not for you. This is a game to play in family with your little kids and for Franklin fans.

Cons: Some of the "mini-games" are hard to pass. Besides the mini-games, all levels are similar.

Pros: You can run the game in English, French and Spanish. The game doesn't have violence and you can enjoy it in family.

My 5 year old beat this..., 2007-01-06

Reviewer: S. Smith

My daughter beat the game when she was 5 years old... without help. I wanted to play with her, but she just wanted me to watch LOL. She has been playing video games since she was 3. She is now 6 and still plays this game when friends visit.

This game is very cute. Franklin goes along doing things for friends while preparing for Bear's surprise party. There are some mini games between levels. My daughter and I both love the game.
