I know that there aren't as many "E" rated games for Xbox as there are for other systems, but I was hoping you all could help me out.
My son will be 4 years old on Christmas Eve, and he LOVES to play games on the Xbox. Well, all I have for him to play are teen rated games. While some like Jedi Starfighter aren't too bad, others are a little too violent for his age.
What are some good "E" rated games that I could pick up for him for his b-day and Christmas? I was thinking about Harry Potter, but what else is out there? He likes all kinds of games, but seems to be drawn to action adventure games like Obi-Wan.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks:)

Nickelodeon Party Blast is due out at the end of this month. As you can probably guess, it features Nick characters and is similar to Mario Party in format. Also, there is Blinx - The Time Keeper. I don't know how hard it is, but it looks fun and is rated E.

I wouldn't say Blinx is good for this age group. Heck....I'm having trouble with it and I'm 25. I don't know of any other but Blinx is complicated when it comes to earning money and buying the right stuff. Earning money is almost like something they put in at the last minute. It takes so long to buy an upgrade. I friggin hate this game at times.
The only E games I own are golf ones and that would probably put him to sleep.

I've thought about Shrek Super Party or Nickelodeon Party Blast, but unfortunately the reviews on those stink.
I hadn't thought of sports games. Though they may be a bit too challanging.
What are some good racing games? He's pretty good at those.

i doubt a 4-year old kid will know the difference, let alone care about a crappy review.

Go here, click on The Rankings -
www.gamerankings.com
In the search boxes, change platform to "XBox", ESRB rating to "E", and set the list for the top 10 to top 50.
Sports games abound, Rallisport Challenge may be too hard, SSX Tricky and Project Gotham Racing might work ...

Thanks for the help. I'll check out gamerankings.com. I'd forgotten about Crash Bandicoot. He liked that on the Playstation.
I don't want to get one with bad reviews because I know he'll expect me to play the game with him.

I have to agree that you can't necessarily go with a reviewer on this one. They aren't looking for the same things that a 4 yr old is.
We are getting a new system for Christmas and while we understand the superiority of X-BOX, there just aren't enough games for kids - especially if they aren't into sports. Since that is who the system is really for, we went with Gamecube. By the time the kids are ready for a more sophisticated system and games there will probably be a whole new generation of systems.

My recently turned 8 year old brother absolutely loves playing SSX Tricky and Tony Hawk on the GC. While he isn't necessarily great at them he loves playing both - especially free skate on TH and trick mode on SSX.

my two cents are - Spider-man and Harry Potter (game is surprisingly good).
