Ok so my 2 year old nephew was over today and i thought id just show him Colin McRae Dirt and see if he liked it. Which he of course did.

Mostly cause it had cars and if he pressed a button it moved and did smashing sounds when it drove into stuff.

So i was thinking that id find something that he could perhaps play a bit more actively than just pressing a drive-button and having to ask his uncle to reset the car twice every minute.

I'm not sure if there are any games that kids that young can play though. I mean his hands are too small to actually hold the controller half-properly. But maybe there are some games out there? Something where u can just lay the controller on the table and he can click the buttons etc.

All tips appreciated Smile

Wowowowwow, that game is way too complicated for a two year old. It was too comlicated for me and I´m 30 years old ffs! Well the introduction/tutorial part was way too long and boring.

Give the kid an easy puzzle or something instead. Haha or the rubix cube. Razz

Well - you have the game "Cars" for 360.

All kids LOVE that movie, and maybe the game as well...

The only button he'll ever use is the melee button at close range.

Is that berry juice splattered all over the TV?

I think you could almost stick any game on for a 2 year old but any game you put on he/she wouldnt be able to actually play the game it would be just the sensation of actually moving something on the screen,I let my daughter who is 3 play on crackdown not becuse she wanted to play the game but because she noticed a big wheel in the distance she wanted to run over to it,would of impressed me though if i gave her the joypad & she found all the agility orbs

buy those cardboard family games, or some disney movies, will learn more from them.

To be honest mate at 2 yrs old kids wont find many games that hold thier attention. When my son was 2 he got bored very quickly. anything with bright colours thats very simple to play is best.. now my son is 7 he can play most games (well the ones i allow him to play)

Im pretty sure she will. Since i bought a PSP, shes always bugging me to play with it...but thats a NO GO, so instead, i gave her my old Sega Gamegear, she love playing the Lion King and platformers are easier for kids. She's 3 1/2 years now

I made my sister play Doom at the age of 5 Very Happy She turned out ok though.

On-Topic: What about getting your nephew Geometry Wars from the XBOX store? I don't own a xbox, I just bought it from Steam for like 3 bucks and am using the brilliant xbox controller for the PC. It's pretty simple, you just turn the thumb sticks around to move and shoot and it has a lot of great effects and colors. Hard to master, but very simple.
