PostPlaystation Game Suggestions for my 2 1/2 yr old Daughter?
by Andrew Mills » Tue Nov 11, 2014 9:54 pm

So I've hooked up my PS3 downstairs (so my wife can use the Amazon video streaming service as we have Prime) and I decided to let my daughter try playing a few 'kid friendly' games on it.

Image

So far she's messed around with Crash 1/2/3, Flower (Demo), LBP 1 and Streetfighter 2.

She's only just started using the controller, but I'm actually short of ideas of what games she could play (with minimal hassle) that would be fun for her. She quite liked the Crash games (even if she was, naturally, rubbish at them), thought Flower was ok (but got bored quickly).

I can obviously download any PS1/PS2 or PS3 games from the PSN store if they're any good.

So, anyone got any, serious, suggestions? :wub:

Hmmm, I don't have Move. But it seems like it's worth looking at. Cheers for the suggestion. :)

Cool, never knew that existed either. Looked interesting in the YT video I watched.

I think they might still be somewhat too complex for her to grasp just yet. Definitely once she gets more capable with a controller though :)

I'll make the obvious suggestion: Minecraft. Seconding the Spiro suggestion.

What? Why not just recommend Demon/Dark Souls, or you know what Mortal Kombat, I'm sure that's completely suitable for a 2 and a half year old. Why not House of the Dead Overkill, I'm sure the language is fine really.

Or on a more serious note perhaps something like Just Dance, or what about EyePet?

They're good for learning how to play traditional games with a controller, especially as there aren't any obvious game over screens that may discourage her. Start with the older ones like Star Wars which are a bit simpler than the new ones like LOTR and Marvel.

Obviously she needs to be playing Dark Souls NG++ by her fourth birthday.

Well, you can stick it on training mode (Hyper version) and just let her mash the buttons :shifty:

Yeah all right, Mary Whitehouse. (@HSH)

Hohokum. The progression side of it may be a little too subtle for her to pick up but, in a similar vein to Noby Noby, she could easily spend time just messing about.

Skylanders is pretty magical. Co-op too, so you can play together.
