Games for Xbox 360 for a 4 yr old

Options
What games would you recommend for a 4 year old (apart from none at all he should be playing outside etc), that are not too difficult in terms of what buttons need to be pressed, what you have to complete.

The only game of mine he plays at the minute is burnout paradise as all you have to do it press accelerate and left and right. He is quite happy with that, but wouldn't mind getting another one for christmas.

Thanks

    These are games for age range 3+ from Game

    Can't really suggest any.
    I don't think the basic Sonic game requires alot of button presses so maybe thats an option.

    If you have access to Xbox live you might be able to find free demos of some games mentioned or even others.

    Age ratings are always based on content, my gripe with that is the fact that even the lego ones are 7+ because it's "violence" when ultimately I'd say they're what you're looking for. Just because it's a 7+ doesn't mean it's only suitable after their 7th birthday, merely that the regulatory body is following the guidelines (and responsible retailers will follow their instruction).

    As others suggested. Lego ones.

    Also Viva Pinata party animals and the original may be suitable.

    Something like Forza or Gotham Racing if he's into cars? There's also Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just released.

    If he likes batman you could get him:

    Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu (xbox original) - this is a cartoony batman game. It's age rating 3+.

    Justice League Heroes (xbox original) - batman is one of the main characters, although this is a 12+ so up to you.

    Batman Begins (xbox original) is also 12 age rating.

    According to wikipedia these should all work fine on xbox 360;

    There's also two Lego batman games. Don't know which you got him but the first is just Lego Batman The Videogame and the second is Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes.
