Very Disappointing - Please Read Before BuyingJun 06, 2010
By Richard Paul
"RP"
My 8 Year-Old son is a very big fan of the Club Penguin computer game, and very much enjoyed the first DS game, Elite Penguin Force.
He was looking forward to purchasing this game, and saved up his allowance money to buy it when it came out.
He was very, very disappointed to learn upon purchase, that 80% of this game's content is re-hashed material from the web site that he has already played (and paid for) before.
This is pretty sleazy of Disney Interactive. They know that their core audience can't get enough of Club Penguin content, then they release product that recycles the same elements and charges for them again.
If you have never played CP before, then this game might be fun -- however, if you are already a CP fan, please steer clear of this game, and save your money.
When an 8-year-old feels ripped off, you've really missed the mark.

Old missions no fun for girl, 9; best game in world for boy, 6Jun 09, 2010
By H. Carraway My son and daughter love to play Club Penguin online and couldn't wait for this release. They were glued to it for hours today it came in. That said, my daughter, 9, said most of this time was spent playing old missions, and she says this was "horrible." A player must complete four or more old missions with only one part new content in the beginning before getting to move on to something new (which is why she wanted the game).
But my son, who hasn't completed the online mission, thought it is "the best game in the world for a boy or girl."
Also, my children say only one player can save his/her game, and that leaves a family with more children in a bind. The "guest" player must start fresh each time he plays, and this is a cause of great discord!
So, three stars from my daughter and five stars for my son equals four overall.

WORST. GAME. EVER.Jun 11, 2010
By Knightman This game was a ripoff. My child saved up her money to buy this game and it turns out that these are missions that you do online!!!! To do these missions online, you have to buy a membership! Eight out of ten missions are ones you do online or in the first game. (Training is in the first one.) My child said that it was "A waste of my money and time. I was so upset when I finished." DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rework of the old Club Penguin GameJun 12, 2010
By S. Buist
"ladybugsandbees"
Unlike others who wasted their money on this game, we decided to rent it from the local video store. My 10 year old son had the original Club Penguin DS game and loved it. So when he saw the new one at the video/game store he wanted to rent it. When I asked him how it was he responded with "There are some missions I don't like because I have played them before and a couple of new ones." It hasn't held the thrill for him that the first one did. Save your money - rent it if you want to play it. But I don't recommend buying it.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PURCHASING GAME!Jul 27, 2010
By C. Madsen
"mystery lover"
If you already own the first CLUB PENGUIN game, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS! If you DON'T have the first game then it IS worth the money..Club Penguin is very cute. BUT IF YOU HAVE THE FIRST GAME...the first missions are EXACTLY the same missions from the first game. You REPLAY all of them to get to a very few new missions at the end. It is NOT an ALL NEW GAME!!!! I can't believe they are charging a full game price for this. It is a TOTAL RIP OFF. I paid full price and feel absolutely TERRIBLE that I paid that much for a game that is 80% old missions from the first Club Penguin game. HOW CAN DISNEY DO THAT?????I am not trusting them in the future (I will read reviews BEFORE I buy) and hope you don't have the same thing happen to you.
