My Take:
We received a preview copy of the new Xia-Xia game. I tell you what my daughter loved the game so much she couldn't seem to put it down. I got about 5 minutes with the game before she took it out of my hands and wouldn't give it back. She's going to be 6 here in a few weeks and she had no problems figuring out how to make her crab jump and break open the boxes on the screen. She was constatly showing mom how far she'd gotten and how many shells she had collected. Of course now she thinks she should be able to get all those different shells for her real Xia-Xia pets. When I told her it was time to put the game back in the envelope to send back she was really not happy. She spent so much time playing the game and was sad to have to give it up. I told her she'd have her very own copy once the game came out and could play as long as she wanted and that seemed to cheer her up some.
