Games for a 4 year old - recommendations??

[Inicholson]

Can anyone recommend games my 4 year old will enjoy/be able to do?

He loves driving the tank on Wii Play (he steers with the nunchuck, I fire - it's hilarious and we get further than I do on my own!).

He tried Mario & Sonic Olympics at a friends and enjoyed it.

He also had a go on Mario Kart 64, which was a bit tricky for him but a big hit. What's the easiest racing/driving game out there??

Wii Kart should be out soon and if he enjoyed Mario Kart 64 I'm sure the Wii one will be a hit. Apparently even beginners have a good chance to beat the pros in Mario Kart and if the controls are good he might have a great time!

well i'll tell you some games i played on the SNES when i was 3.
1-the lion king.
2-street fighter.
3-metroid.

oh and those are stratages and fighting games.

here is aweb site that you can check the rating of game and release date and all that stuff: www.ign.com

if you want to go directly to the wii section then: wii.ign.com

and you can also search for games by genre and rating.

Super Mario Galaxy?
Rayman Raving Rabbids?
Excite Truck?

Basically anything first-party.

I didn't know the final name that's why I said that, I meant the mario kart for wii. And April/May/June seems quite soon to me!
Another game which apparently is quite good for young children is Cosmic Family, it's for 4-8 year-olds and has three difficulty levels. I haven't tried it but some people suggest it for young children.

Anything NOT bolded is abysmal. Super Mario Galaxy is a must.
