Any good XBox games for little kids?

My daughter is getting old enough to play games (she can jump around on Toejam and Earl and drive the Warthog in Halo 2 pretty good) and I'm looking for a game that she could play more than just a tiny part of. The game sites I look at don't list kids games, so I'm at a bit of a loss. Any ideas?

(I'm really hoping not to get a ton of cynical replies...)

Edit: She's 2 1/2 - but a little advanced for her age.
 
2 1/2 and already doing that? Pretty damn impressive. For little kids though your best bet is probably some licensed games like Spongebog, Rugrats or something like that. I'm pretty sure all those games are multiplatform so you should be fine.
 
GTA:SA is coming out in a few months kid love that shit, i know a nine year old homeboy with the game.

You also got GTA3 and GTA:VC to play while waiting for SA to come out.

SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom is a pretty fun game, and an excellent choice for children.

I don't know whether it's a suitable choice for a toddler, though. Two years seems a little young for video games.

This is the first computer game that my 4 year old daughter ever played and she can't get enough of it. There is a place to change how Barbie is dressed and even a place to "design" your own horse. My daughter had a little trouble figuring out how to use the arrow keys to navigate but after a couple of days of watching me she can do it on her own. She still needs some help when Barbie has to use the slingshot because it requires pressing and releasing the mouse button at a certain point. I don't really mind helping her because there are some things in this game that even an adult will find entertaining. I highly recommend this game for girls from 4 to 8 years old. The younger kids will need a little help and the older kids won't stay interested as long but it is a great game.

talking about the pc version, obviously, but how muchcan it differ from the xbox version

Yeah my daughter likes to watch me play and at times likes to just use the controller, but she doesn't really "get" playing yet...a few months will help. She just turned two last month.

3 is good, 2 is too young. There is a huge developmental gap from 2-3...at least comprehension wise.

It's simple, unrestricted, and relatable. My various nieces and nephews have enjoyed it.

That's a pretty good suggestion - she'd like driving around crashing into stuff.

Wow, you've been here that long and you still don't know how to make a worthwile post? Maybe you should stick to lurking.

Anyways, as for the orignal post, most racing games are good as long as they are arcadey. My little cousins also seem to like Kung fu Chaos and Fuzion Frenzy.
 
She's only 2 1/2 and you need suggestions? How old are you?

You gotta know that she'll enjoy anything at that age. If she can press a button and hear a sound or see some visual reaction to her action, she'll be fine with anything.

Good kids games on Xbox? How about stuff she'll really get into? Stuff made for her age? Leapfrog stuff? More hands on. Why stiffle her imagination with Xbox games she doesn't understand and that aren't hands on enough?

Give her a pot/pan with a wooden spoon and she'll be more than happy, or try a cardboard box. It's the little things that amuse the little ones.

Well that rules out a gamecube. That console is more for the 0-2yr range. I'd suggest a PS2.

The Kutaragi guy made a funny. On topic, why do you want her playing games at the age of 2?
