I feel like it would be better to enforce a spacial limitation rather than a time limit (the hiring period is 30 seconds) if there was some sort of ability to only use the hired character within the immediate area, that would make it easier to complete the tasks

And, of course, the time to return it had expired.

BUT the game has frozen several times on The Simpsons level

Review update my kids want to play the game so bad but it freezes all the time

He has played hours on end with this game (although I try to limit screen time), and he has not had any complaints

After playing it a few times, it started freezing up in the same area every time they played it.

While he had a good time playing this, I really hate these new "skylander" "disney infinity" style gaming where you need to buy all the next sets

Also, I finally get some quiet time and zero arguments about completing his chores and homework before xbox; he just does it so he can play

Game freezes at same point in game every time.......

He had a hard time figuring it out (he's 9) and lost interest right away.
