Spec me a very easy platformer on xbox arcade

benskia · 4 Nov 2011 at 13:20

Hey.
Got a 3 year old lad who loves playing the ds. Only thing is he tries to go on it too often and I'm sure its not great for the little ones eyes. Can anyone recommend me a very easy platform type game like Mario for the xbox instead?
Thanks.

Contra, doesn't get any easier.

Limbo? You trying to scare the bejesus out of him? Lol.

This. Easy, goofy, perfect for a 3 year old.

Cloning Clyde, definitely.

Also see Splosion Man. The early levels aren't too challenging.

Aban Hawkins and the 1000 spikes

Sorry couldn't resist, It is a great little game though.

How about some of the megadrive sonic series off the arcade?

Limbo still i reckon. Scare him off computers so he has a chance of having a life away from em as we are too far gone to be saved.

I started letting mine have short sessions on Banjo Kazooie : Nuts and bolts on the xbox when he was 4. You need to do a little bit of work on the game yourself first, but then it's a young'uns paradise, being able to drive, fly and boat around a big bright island knocking over trees and clockwork cows.

He still plays it now (at 7), but now he can use the vehicle builder, and it's great for encouraging logical thinking and creativity.

It's not xbox live, but you can pick it up for a tenner in a lot of places.

This.

Some of the later levels are pretty notorious, but it starts out easy, the controls are snappy and the goal is simple.

Where from? Is it on Steam?

Limbo way too dark. Super Meat Boy way too hard!

This. My daughter really liked it.

And a big no at Limbo. It's dark and scary with decapitations and implalements...

Also try The Maw and Castle Crashers. Two she really enjoyed.

Splosion Man is really good but too hard imo.
