A very good children's game, thanks to the level of immersion with the stories and interaction with the characters it can provide. If you're looking for a non-violent, involving and even with some educative aspects game for your kids, this might be one of your best bets.

Once Upon a Monster is the finest Sesame Street game on the market, and one of the best Kinect games to date. This perfect blend of entertainment and enrichment fills a void on the home console, and provides a wonderful experience for the whole family.

Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is a properly executed Kinect game for kids that doesn't try to do a hundred things just to be appealing. At last here's an enjoyable title that stands to be a firm favorite for anyone looking for an educational game for their kids to play.

this game is quite an enjoyable experience. The game ended up being better than originally anticipated. It made me splooge on my Kinect and now the sensors no longer are functional. I love this game more than my wife and kids combined. Id do anything for more content its just that good.

Played this like 12 years ago, pretty good i think. No big bird though, i'm pissed about it. Now Kinect is obcelete so it doesn't matter.

Looks like there are some strange reviews on here. I love this game to play with my kids, and they love playing it as well. I am obviously their target audience with children under 10 years old and a little bit of time to play here and there. My wife, a non-gamer, even said she would like to play this cute game with me and the kids. Basically, there are several story lines to help the Sesame Street puppets get through. The game involves arm waving, body posing, matching games, and other simple things to get a young person's mind thinking and working to coordinate personal actions with actions on-screen. It's lighthearted fun and gets you and/or your children up and moving. For me, this game alone makes the Kinect worth owning.

Double Fine has achieved an amazing feat with Once Upon a Monster. Not only is the game ideal for children in both design and presentation, but it is a game that parents will want to play with their kids.

Once Upon A Monster is the educational game I've been wanting since I first had kids. It's approachable and easy for them to grasp, while still remaining enough of a game to keep me engaged, too. If you're a parent whose kids already know their ABCs, Double Fine's game is a fantastic way to reinforce often-neglected (but critically important) skills like empathy, responsibility, and friendship. Plus, you can make Grover flap his stringy little blue arms like nobody's business.

A great game for children that makes great use of Kinect capabilities. Kids from any age can play thanks to the absence of a controller, and the story is charming and happy, with very accesible gameplay.

It's a colourful toy that'll distract young children long enough to give you precious hours in the kitchen drinking fortified wine.

Falls victim to problems not of its own making, but it's still a charming, kids game. [Christmas 2011, p.88]
