Cosmic Family is a single player early-learning game for children aged four to eight.

The player can interact with the game's cartoon characters, Mom and Dad Cosmic, Big Sister and the two small children who make up the Cosmic Family. Their space ship is full of strange animals ranging from the dog who is a bit zany, the cat who's a bit lazy, many monsters, and a spotted elephant called Stephan.

The space ship has five floors which correspond to levels in the game. Each level contains a series of mini games, twenty in all, that are designed to help improve a child's memory, logic skills, hand-eye coordination, creativity and imagination while they have fun. These games include steering the rocket in space, looking for hidden stars, redesigning the rooms, dressing up the characters, planting and growing seeds and others. The Wii remote is the 'magic wand' that the player uses to play these mini games and to interact with objects around the space ship [source:mobygames]
