I recently purchased this game for my 3 1/2 year old who likes Chuggington most of the time and is obsessed with it the rest of the time. I'm a little disappointed overall with most Mobigo games because although the Mobigo itself is rated for 3 and up, many of the games are rated 4 and up and can have little glitches that make them hard to play. So, my son didn't really go for the Mater the Greater game or the Toy Story game. He does like the Super Heroes game (sometimes), but it's got some glitches.
In a nutshell, I've got a fairly hard-to-please kid when it comes to Mobigo games. Bottom line, this cartridge offers 4 games, and my son likes all of them.
The games are as follows:
Concentration: Typical memory game...the only glitch I've noticed is that sometimes, the doors to the train sheds don't come all the way up, so you can't see the trains to know where they are. Most of the time, though, the game works fine. Increasing difficulty is well-thought-out.
Wilson, Knowing Where You're Going: Problem solving...you have to move things out of Wilson's way, and although it sounds simple, it actually does a decent job of getting more complex as the game progresses.
Koko's Cargo: The Best Game!!! This is solving puzzles, and it really can get hard to do. You have to plan ahead and figure out where to put everything before you start. Since some games tend to top out and not get hard enough, I love that this one is challenging (on easy and difficult levels). Also, I like that the player can remove pieces and use trial and error fairly easily (without having to start all over again). This is my son's favorite game on this cartridge.
Brewster, No Time to Waste: My son's least favorite...you just pick up plastic bottles or paper waste and put them in the right bin. It doesn't take much to figure it out, but I am impressed with the increasing difficulty as the game progresses. This isn't one that readily lends itself to challenging material, but the designers do okay with it. As an aside, there's a really annoying end to the game where you have to wash Brewster and pop bubbles. His laugh makes me want to turn the volume down. It's bad.
So, overall, this was definitely worth buying, and I would buy it again. It would be nice if there were 5 or 6 games, but I really like the educational value of these games and that it is extremely user-friendly for a 3 year old. I showed him once how to play each game, and he took it from there. Also, there are few glitches, and all of the games are playable. Finally, one of the best features is how well the designers did in providing increasing complexity for each level.

This game is a blast for my 2 boys to play. Some options are to sort recyclable materials, learn the diffent functions of each type of the trains and engage on missions on the rails. My kids feel more confident after playing Chuggington and seem more aware of environmental stuff, like recycling their trash at home. This is not a baby game, Im very pleased with the educational values in each game and the varying learning engagements; really well rounded.
