Poorly designed software [Posted on 2005-10-19]
I bought this software thinking it was a good deal in that it covers a lot of different subjects, but I found it to be poorly designed, all breadth and no depth. I think it would be worth it to buy software with a narrower focus but with more attention to detail. It is a chore to install all the different CDs. Some of the programs seem to have some glitches resulting in interrupted games. The age range says 6-12, but my 9 y/o daughter found the characters corny and "annoying"... the graphics aren't spectacular, game directions/navigation are not self-evident (How do I go back?) Adjusting the levels is confusing and not always very accurate. The games are not very innovative, educationally either, "What is 4+4?" says a dorky little British chap named Pipo, "8" you type, "Good!" says Pipo, and on to the next problem. I don't see much excitement in that. So far the only CD out of the package my daughter really enjoys is the "World Dance" game. I recommend shopping around for other products, especially for older, more computer-savvy kids.
