Really Great! [Posted on 2003-03-24] Our children, 2, 3 & 4, are just getting to know the computer. We've tried a couple different programs and this is by FAR the best. Our 4 year old is enthralled. He loves it, and I don't mind playing with him. The younger kids play it, but not as independently as the oldest. I think this means its a program we'll be playing a year from now. Can't say that about any of the other programs we have.
Surprised and very pleased. [Posted on 2003-05-22] This is my very first childs software game. I was quite amazed with it. Our 4 yr had never touched a mouse before, yet she (faked) a cry when she had to stop playing after her first 40 minutes. She needed only occasional help learning the game and of course it's even more fun if your nearby to share her excitment at the many surprises presented.
Great over and over [Posted on 2004-08-20] "It is really good" says my almost-7-year-old daughter. She and her twin brother have played this game countless times since we first purchased it over 2 years ago, maybe 3 years. Quite challenging when they were younger and still fun, especially for my daughter. 3 levels of difficulty, quite a few different activities & games, a nice goal at the end (pun intended). Really good for learning basic computer skills as well as logic and problem solving. Once the kids understood how it worked, I never had to help them with it--they could go through the whole game on their own. One of if not the best computer games I've seen for 4-6 year olds.
Good program but with a caveat [Posted on 2006-08-20] Everyone else has covered the positive aspects of the game well.
The downsides are:
- children can randomly guess at many things and thus avoid learning
- one of the rescue portions of the software is really just a video game. We found our kids playing this endlessly and removed the software from their machine. If you don't mind video games or have time to always monitor their play it's not a big deal since it is not a huge part of the software
Great educational CD-rom [Posted on 2008-06-02] My son loves these CD-roms. He is almost 5 and plays them a lot. He is learning quite a bit. Plus, there are 3 different levels, so as he gets better, he gets more challenged. I'm impressed with this.
