My Thoughts on Disney Universe for Nintendo Wii:

This game was a huge hit with my boys, but especially my 3 year old.  Even though he honestly couldn't make it through a single level unassisted, there was something about choosing which character he was dressed as that made him fall in love.  My 7 year old found the game challenging but he was able to make his way through levels.  I played for a good long time myself and also found it a little challenging but a lot of fun.  Where else can you put out building fires with water balloons while shooting at pirate ships.  Overall the most impressive element for me was the large variety of scenes that were available.  Many have to be unlocked but it really gives you a lot of playing time without repeating levels.
