Story Hour: Adventures
Story Hour: Adventures Review
Not only is it interactive (child is asked, about once every 10 still pictures, to complete a task with the Wiimote), but it is flexible.
Parents can choose to have the voice talent read the story or you can turn the option off and read the story for your child.
While there is a robust Options menu (volume, subtitles, page turning, sound effects), it’s a shame that the subtitle size can’t be changed. Bigger text would help the younger kids with word recognition.
With each of the four stories lasting about 15-20 minutes (depending on how fast your child is able to handle the interactive tasks), this can potentially be a fun bedtime routine alternative to the standard story time.
Lastly, I found the stories to be non-violent, inclusive and respectful of diversity.
- A modern take on beloved tales
- Incorporates motion sensitive controls so that parents and preschoolers can tell stories together
- Four classic stories - Paul Bunyan (illustrated by Stan Chow), Jack & The Beanstalk (illustrated by Simon Scales), Aladdin (illustrated by David Gordon) and The Three Brothers (illustrated by Constanza Basaluzzo.)
Classic fairy tales and fables had been passed down from generation to generation verbally and in books. Those traditions are now getting an interactive twist in the Story Hour series. A modern take on such beloved tales as Cinderella, Snow White, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Paul Bunyan, these tales offer four different stories that incorporate motion sensitive controls so that parents and preschoolers can tell stories together. Story Hour: Adventures features four classic stories: Paul Bunyan (illustrated by Stan Chow), Jack & The Beanstalk (illustrated by Simon Scales), Aladdin (illustrated by David Gordon) and The Three Brothers (illustrated by Constanza Basaluzzo.)

| Review by (USA) 2010-07-22 This game is fun, but once you arrive in the new worlds, is much more difficult. I would not recommend to anyone who has not had 1 year + (s) of experience with the Wii. The controls are different. Instead of A, is two and instead of B is 1. It 'very confusing to figure out how to play! This game is very, very fustrating. When I could not... Read more reviews | ||

| Review by DelusionalAngel (USA) 2010-07-29 I will try to keep this short and sweet, because let's face it, if you even think about buying this game and reading reviews, you probably already know something about Mario games and Nintendo - blah blah blah. Furthermore, it has been said before. This is what makes this game a 5 star in my book. I'm not a game even if I geek... Read more reviews | ||
