My five year old loves Bob the Builder and just inherited his brothers game boy. I thought this game would be perfect for him. The first problem is that you need to know how to read in order to play it. Since BTB is geared towards the preschool crowd, that seems weird that they would require you to do any reading.
Secondly, each level rewards you with a password. You re-enter this password whenever you start playing which brings you back to your current level. This would be fine if the child knew how to read and told me about the password, but he since he can't he just skips right over it and the password is lost. He needs to start from square one each time. Which leads to the next problem....
You have to accomplish 10 tasks (aquire 10 passwords) before you get to play with Scoop. This is so discouraging for my son because he loves Scoop. It's his favorite character and the only one he is interested in playing with. He's also the hardest to master. So if you don't write down those passwords and help your child enter them, they'll never get to play with Scoop.
How nice it would have been if the game had automatically saved your level each time you played. Is that too much to ask for in a preschool game?
Great game but for younger kids

My son got this game for his 6th birthday. He sat right down with it and solved it within a day. It is still keeping his attention. My daughter who is 3 is still playing with it when ever brother will let her.
Too Complicated

The Bob the Builder show appeals to my not-yet literate 3 year old.
I think this game is poorly conceived and executed because
it requires the user to read several things before they can play anything with this game.
Once my son is reading, I'm fairly certain he will no longer be interested in Bob The Builder.
BOB IS GREAT

A lot of people are saying this game is not good for young kids because they need to be able to read first and by the time a child can read they have outgrown Bob the Builder. Not true! My son is 5 and can read and he still LIVES for Bob the Builder!!! This game is great and lots of fun. Well worth it for the 5-7 year old range. (My daughter is 7 and likes this game as well.)
