I couldn't believe how quickly my daughter took to this game -- her first PS2 experience. She now regularly shows ME how it's done and I am a lousy player by comparison. The game never stops challenging her and while there is a bit of violence, it's of the cartoonish type. Woody's sensibility as a character is funny (as in the way he surveys new scenes, or spontaneously dances on occasion). The 3D graphics are really impressive, as is the intuitive nature of your ability to see from Woody's perspective. A great, well-crafted game.
