Too few activities and they are boring [Posted on 2004-07-21] My 4 year old daughter really wants to like the game, since she is a big Strawberry Shortcake fan. However, she can only play the game for about 10 minutes before getting really bored and switching to another game. She usually plays certain preschool or kindergarten educational games for about 30 to 45 minutes, so I know it's not her attention span. Most activites in this game are too repetitive with no variations.
The graphics is cute though, that's probably why my daughter still pops the CD in once in a while.
Sweet Fun for Youngsters! [Posted on 2004-08-07] It's important to get kids interested in computers and learning, so why not include "Amazing Cookie Party" in your lesson plan? Children will love the brightly-colored animation and cheerfulness that radiates from this CD-ROM. And Strawberry Shortcake serves as a berry friendly guide to all of the games...
Steer a graham cracker surfboard down the River Fudge, watching out for whirlpools...Make mouth-watering houses in Cakewalk to earn cherries...Collect falling fruit for Orange Blossom in her orchard...When you're done, step into the Amazing Cookie Factory, where you can unload the ingredients you've collected and select a tasty recipe to make. The cookies turn out super cute and look good enough to eat!
I would have given this software 5 stars had it not been for the difficulty I had in installing it. I also feel that the Orange Orchard activity may be a bit frustrating for some 4-6 year-olds (speedwise) and that there could have been one or two more games and recipes included. Other than that, "Amazing Cookie Party" is a ton of fun and worth the price. I highly recommend parents that loved SSC as children to introduce this to their kids. :)
Only good for 5 minutes [Posted on 2004-10-11] We bought this cd rom for my daughter who is 3. she enjoyed playing the games, but was bored very quickly. Every level is the same games and you have to play these games over and over again to earn ingrediants. Very repetive and dull.
Nice [Posted on 2005-08-31] Received item in a timely manner. Thought it would be more of an educational game based on the description however, it is a cute game.
A few kinks [Posted on 2007-01-09] This game is fun but not very user friendly. You can't exit one part of the game to go to another part very easily. Some games a bit difficult for the age and directions are not explained very well.
