Game for my son

[EdT]

Hi - got a PS4 now - Disney Infinity 3.0 bundle. The title included is fun but way too complex for my 4 and a half year old. Any recommendations?

The Lego games are always good for a younger audience, but he might be a little young for them too!

in a similar state.

tried my 4.5 year old son with Lego Star wars and he just didnt get it.

think i might try peggle ( im on xbox one / 360) and work up.

He gets on OK ish with Andy Birds racing on his Hudl. Is there anything like that.
The Star Wars thing it came with looked OK initially, but soon it's full of extra moves/upgrades/credits/menus etc etc

Try Race the Sun. It's an indie racing game where you pilot a solar powered craft against the setting sun before you run out of power. It's literally only two or maybe three controls, it's very quick but it's simple to pick up, and actually quite exciting. It also has a wonderful minimalist design.

Get a Wii, loads of cool kids games and very visual...it's a good start point for little ones.

rocket League. My 4 year old loves it.

Looks great !

Is Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion available? I seem to remember they'd remade it for console / tablets.

Alternatively something like Rayman or Little Big Planet?

Or Mortal Kombat

get the inside out play set on infinity 3.

I Play it with my 6 year old girl. She loves it. I have to play with her, but she can do 95% of the challenges on it.

The star wars one is good too, disney infinity is a bit of a con, though. They don't seem to finish one game before they release another and no cross compatibility, Skylanders is good for that, but the characters are fairly expensive...only ever buy them in sales

I play that Star Wars one a bit last week.. maybe I'm getting on but felt it was MILES to hard for a 5 yr old . Fair enough he'd enjoy running around bumping into things.. but for example the AT -AT challenge - no way.

Lego Star Wars 360 version, little lad pays Star Wars Battlefront.

I meant the Star Wars set for disney infinity 3 and I haven't played it much tbh, the AT-At challenge in that with the snow speeders is great fun and it tells you which way to steer, is that what you meant?

That's the one. Cant see my nearly 4 + half yr old handling that though

seconded on star wars infinity, my daughter really struggled with it.

However after she played the inside out game mentioned above, she also got the hang of star wars, we are currently playing guardians of the galaxy.

Have also heard the Aladdin toy set is also just as easy as inside out. You need to check though whioch one is infinity 2 or 3 as you need different software for each one.

Cool I'll take a look at Inside Out. We all watched the film for 1st time last weekend. Made my eldest daughter cry !

Depends on the kid too, my son was all over PS3 and the Wii from the age of 2, playing all kinds of stuff (Wii controllers are so intuitive for youngsters) The missus had to help him with the puzzles and stuff in the Lego games but he loved them. My daughter on the other hand couldn't get to grips with them and had no real interest. She is 8 now and loves minecraft, but doesn't really play much else, still not as bothered with thrm as my son is.
