When playing the game, adults might get bored easily, but kids will have fun. It's simple, it's entertaining, and kids love finding the little secrets in the game. The reason it gets such a low score is that guys get bored with it or end up hating it really fast. Also, it only holds a kid's attention for a little while. After they've played the game for a few minutes, they generally want to do something else, and that defeats the game's purpose, which is keeping kids busy.Graphics One thing this game did perfectly was set its mood. Everything from the loading screen to the assembly line is incredibly easy on the eyes and is really cute. In the main menu, teddy bears peek out from the corners and bounce back and forth. In the quest screen, the trail of gold, silver, and bronze steps winds through various factories and ends in a star that moves just enough to capture a child's attention. In the assembly line, bears wind back and forth on a random line and jump from click to click with just a little trail, just enough to keep your child's eye on it. There is not a single section where the graphics do not fit the game or where they are hard to look at.From the main menu to the assembly line, the graphics perform their duty admirably. Kids get mesmerized just looking at this game. While they may get bored when playing it, they never seem to get bored watching it. Sound The sound is almost as good as the graphics. The standard menu sounds are present and mostly unnoticeable, the quest screen makes pleasant sounds as you move from level to level, and the assembly line has a nice elevator music theme that you quickly ignore simply because it seems to belong in what you are doing. In general, you can leave the sound and music in Teddy Factory alone. It's fine the way it is, and it complements the gameplay quite well.Value This was a mixed bag. On the one hand, kids don't want to play the game for very long so it isn't worth the money. On the other hand, when multiple kids want to play, they can keep busy for hours, and that is definitely worth the money. I consider this game worth the $20 mainly because I've never seen a kid play alone for long. Unless you have only one kid in the house, all of the other kids will crowd around and want a try at it as well.Overall, this game is a handy diversion for a good-sized family with younger children. Anyone over the age of 12 will most likely hate this game, but as long as you have more than one kid of young age, this game is for you. Pros • Easy to learn
• Keeps the attention of children
• Entertaining for short periodsCons • Repetitive gameplay
• Very small difficulty
