This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Dora Redt de Sneeuwprinses for PlayStation 2
Dora Saves the Snow Princess for PlayStation 2 follows Dora and Boots after a mean witch locks the Snow Princess in a tower. Her spell makes the Magic Snowy Forest melt. With the Snow Fairy, Dora crosses five winter areas to find a magic crystal and rescue the princess, including the Winter Forest, Icy Coast and Frozen Mountains.
The main route is a simple platform adventure with jumping, climbing and collecting. Dora swings on snowflake chains, jumps from mushrooms and catapults, and crosses clouds and ice floes. Other sections feature skiing, skating and snowboarding. Pictures and spoken prompts explain each action, and mistakes usually restart close to the task.
Snowy Adventure is the campaign, Snowy Forest Ride is a separate ride, and Extras collects completed activities. The PS2 version is single-player with a standard controller; the Wii helper is not a second PS2 play mode. There are no online features. Calm tasks and repeated instructions are deliberately designed for a young audience.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 2 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Dora Redt de Sneeuwprinses for PlayStation 2 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Dora Redt de Sneeuwprinses
2K Play released Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Snow Princess in 2008 for PlayStation 2 and Wii, with a separate Nintendo DS version. It came from the television special of the same name, in which Dora and Boots enter a storybook to help the Snow Princess and her melting kingdom.
Take-Two announced Dora alongside new Diego and Wonder Pets games. Nickelodeon’s preschool series thereby debuted on Wii while PS2 still served a large family market. The console versions shared the winter world but differed in control: PS2 used buttons instead of Wii Remote movement.
The original PS2 manual names Snowy Adventure as the main section and explains its short actions step by step. Released late in the console’s life, the game later returned digitally as a PS2 Classic on PlayStation 3. This page covers only the physical PS2 disc; functions or controls from DS, Wii and later digital editions on other platforms are not attributed to this copy.
Similar games for PlayStation 2
Journey to the Purple Planet sends Dora through six space-themed areas to collect gems for a rocket. Snow Princess uses winter levels, a fairy tale and skiing and skating, while both provide extensive spoken help.
Great Dinosaur Rescue also targets young players and mixes platform sections with short tasks. Diego focuses on dinosaurs and rescue work, while Dora centres a bewitched winter forest and an imprisoned princess.
Winnie the Pooh offers a 3D world with simple searching and familiar television characters. Dora follows a more direct route through five areas and uses more automatically explained jumps and winter rides.
SpongeBob turns a film into faster platforming, vehicles and combat. Dora avoids combat, gives more generous retries and keeps each task shorter and calmer.
Barbie also uses a fairy-tale world and platform tasks but demands more precise jumps and independent searching. Dora more often says what comes next and alternates walking with short snow activities.
World Adventure visits different countries and emphasises cultural locations and separate activities. Snow Princess stays inside one connected winter fairy tale, making its route feel more like a continuous rescue story. Both retain the same calm tone, recognisable characters and clear tasks for young players.
Ice Age 2 also uses a melting ice world, but builds a more traditional platform game with enemies, longer levels and varied dexterity tests. Dora treats snow and ice as a calm fairy-tale setting and explains every action aloud. The shared winter imagery therefore leads to a very different pace and clearly different challenge level.
