A magical treat [Posted on 2005-01-11] This is one of the most imaginative and entertaining cd roms we found for our 4 year old. The cd would be suitable for 3 and up, and provides varying levels of difficulty for the flying broom stick game. Now that he is almost five, and I am trying to teach him how to read, he can also read along with max and his uncle pong as they try to find the secret formula that will help break the evil spell and restore Mervin the magician back to himself. It's loaded with all kinds of surprises and is a great indoor activity that can easily fill up an afternoon.
Weird [Posted on 2006-01-14] Xmas gift for our daughter (3 1/2). She finished it in two days. Basically you just move room to room clicking on things, and each room has a piece of the spell that you "find". There aren't really any puzzles to solve. I agree with the other reviewer about the tedious audio introduction, and they call the witch "stupid", which we try to avoid around here. I gave 3 stars because she isn't bored with it yet, but I'm sure it will be in the CD pile on the floor soon.
