Go Diego Go Musical Missions
© 2010 Nickelodeon
The music is pretty, but the design isn't, with these six musical exploration games. Content includes six simple songs like Jingle Bells and Mary Had a Little Lamb, each set in a different environment (e.g., the Savannah or the Arctic), available from a well designed main menu. Instructions are excessive and Diego talks too much, and the notes on the flute don't line up with the notes on the staff -- confusing to a child or an experienced musician, alike. In addition, one tester discovered that it was easier to get through a level faster by randomly pressing the notes. There are many other better designed musical Apps for children. See, for example the Magic Piano. Made for Nickelodeon by Chewy Software LLC.
