The parents' guide to what's in this game.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Team Umizooni & Dora's Fantastic Flight is a simple adventure game with characters from not just two, but five Nick Jr shows. While the majority of the gameplay consists of platform-jumping and crystal-collecting, each level also features at least five mini-games that have an educational bent. These activities focus on colors, shapes, counting, patterns, and Spanish vocabulary. The theme of cooperation is apparent throughout, as all five main characters do their fair share of the work on each level.

What’s It About?
In TEAM UMIZOOMI & DORA'S FANTASTIC FLIGHT, the members of Umizoomi gang have offered to take Dora and Boots on a ride in their airship. Unfortunately, that sneaky fox, Swiper, has stolen all the pieces of the vehicle. So the five friends team up to find the airship parts (and collect a bunch of crystals along the way). Happily for them, cast members from three other Nick Jr shows pop up to lend a hand as well. At the end, kids get to steer the completed airship in a race through the sky.
Is It Any Good?
Team Umizoomi & Dora's Fantastic Flight is a cute, harmless platform-jumping adventure appropriate for preschool gamers. The mini-game challenges that pop up all have an early-math theme (except for Dora's, which focus on learning new words in Spanish) and offer a nice bit of relief from the otherwise repetitive side-scrolling gameplay. The main gist of this game is to run and hop, collecting crystals along the way. But the airship flight -- and the chance to customize your ship -- offers a nice incentive for playing through to the end.
