Amazon.com Review: Anyone who has grown up without coming in contact with the Winnie the Pooh stories likely suffers as a result a severe whimsy deficit. Whether through the original A.A. Milne novels and stories, or the Walt Disney film adaptations, the misadventures of Pooh, Christopher Robin, Tigger, and Piglet provide a completely entertaining diversion from ordinary storytelling.
The story in Tigger's Honey Hunt starts with Pooh, who is planning a grand party. But he can't begin to plan the bash without knowing that he has sufficient honey for his guests to enjoy. Bouncing along in his own inimitable way, Tigger pledges to help Pooh locate enough honey pots to get the party off the ground.
Crisp backgrounds, colorful worlds, and superb animation make this a fun romp through the Hundred Acre Woods. Gameplay mechanics are straightforward and aimed at the right demographic.
For anyone but kids, however, this game plays too short and doesn't have enough individual play modes (little kids love to play the same game over and over, so a short game doesn't matter much to the under-8 crowd). The title misses Paul Winchell's deft voice-over talent, but there's only so much data that you can fit on a Nintendo 64 cartridge.
Tigger's Honey Hunt really knows what it wants to be: a kids' game. As such, it succeeds in providing a darned good--if short--time. --Todd Mowatt
Pros:
Clean, crisp backgrounds; colorful worlds; and superb animation
Straightforward gameplay mechanics aimed at younger gamers
Fun, safe gift for young family members
Cons:
Older, experienced gamers will find the game too easy
Paul Winchell's voice-over talent noticeably absent from the game

Rating: - Too easy for a five year old
Fine for small preschoolers but much too easy for my 5 year old. He breezed through it in about 5 hrs. He is not a video game fanatic so it was surprising. After playing again with him, it is very, very easy. Once again, great starter game for very young but that's it. ...

I rented this game for my 4 year old son. At first he wanted to watch me play, and then he went to town and got through about three levels. This is the first time he has actually played a game like this without just watching. The "Pooh Sticks Bridge" and "Paper, scissors, stone" games on it are fun too and easy to understand. Tigger is absolutely adorable!

I rented this game for my 4 year-old, and he literally spent hours playing it. At first he wanted to watch me play, but then he just went to town and got through about three levels. The "Pooh sticks bridge" game and "Rock, Paper, Stone were a big hit with him too. I definitely need to buy this one! Tigger is absolutely adorable!
