Dora explores the iPhone

That pesky Greedy King has stolen all the colour crystals from The Crystal Kingdom! Jeez. Now, powered by the iPhone, you must ride a magic shield as Dora and collect them again. it’s basically the special stage from Sonic 2, where the hedgehog runs through a half pipe collecting rings – except it’s not quite as fun as that.

Dora is easy to play, as a simple tilt of the iPhone is all that’s required to line her up with the crystals. It’s not very challenging, with none of Sonic 2′s bombs or goals to reach; you simply collect as many crystals as you can and, in all honesty, we doubt that this would keep even the youngest of children amused for long, even with a ‘colouring book’ included. Kids may be entertained by the brightly coloured rainbow world, and the smiley Dora’s shouts of ‘Yippee!’ as she moves through the course, but this is sure to be a short-lived affair.
