Dora The Explorer: Dora Saves the Mermaids is a Platforming game. Platform games task you with getting from point A to point B. The world you journey through is usually based on different levels, and populated with enemies, switches and lifts to be negotiated. As you work through each level you pick up various collectables that accrue score, special abilities and access to hidden areas.

Dora The Explorer: Dora Saves the Mermaids can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Dora The Explorer: Dora Saves the Mermaids can be played in a Assistance mode. Assistance multiplayer games provide a cooperative experience where players of different abilities can collaborate. Some examples, such as Mario Galaxy or Modern Warfare Reflex on the Wii, enable a more experienced player to jump in and help the less experienced. This also works in reverse, where the expert player controls the main flow of the game and the novice plays a supporting role, such as in Viva Pinata on the 360, something that make these games ideal for families.

Dora The Explorer: Save the Mermaids on PS2 is game properly aimed at really young players from developers 2K. As is true for 2K's other Dora and Diego games, well signposted and engaging missions and child voiced characters mean that it stands head and shoulders above other build for preschooler games. Add in the ability for a more experienced player to grab a controller and assist the youngster and you have a recipe for a great experience.
