Is It Any Good?
There's something very likable about ALBERT HD. It's a very strange game that moves from the mundane (getting a bar of soap in order to take a bath) to the surreal (driving a hopping car with giraffe legs) without batting an eye. Many of its mini-games are incredibly short, but tough enough that you'll play them multiple times if you want to earn a three-star rating. And each game has a mystery prize hidden in it, a random object that you need to find and tap, with only a silhouette to guide you. The mystery prize may be an apple, a teddy bear, or a boat. And finding them all unlocks a special bonus area. The real joy of Albert, though, is how varied its games are. The developers obviously tried to use every control type the iPad could offer -- tapping, swiping, tilting, even speaking. It's good, strange fun.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
