Older titles more fun, better bet... [Posted on 2001-01-04] Of all the Tonka titles, this one is the least rewarding for me (as a parent), and least played (by my 6 year-old). When I purchased this product, I thought I was getting another fine Tonka software product. I wasn't. The controls are keyboard-oriented, which makes it more difficult for a child to master. He is used to mouse-oriented controls (contained in the older Tonka titles). My six year old has a hard time remembering which key does what function. Even after playing if a few times, he doesn't enjoy it much. Also, the game simply isn't as fun. The latter titles offered more interaction...more diverse play scenarios. This title lacks the "oomph!" that carried the other games. If you're a first-time Tonka buyer, I'd reccommend either the Tonka Construction set or the Search and Rescue program. Oh, and be sure to check the system requirements before you buy!
tonka space station [Posted on 2001-03-13] My son has a few of the Tonka computor games and this is our least favorite. He had a hard time using the keyboard to move around and seem to be able to go to only one screen. We were so excited when we purchased this game because of the other Tonka games that he liked so much. This one went back to the store.
This can't be Tonka Joe [Posted on 2001-04-20] We purchased this computer program thinking it would be fun and enjoyable like all the other Tonka Joe adventures. All we found was pure disappointment. My son is very proficient on the computer and easily does Tonka Construction 1 and 2, Tonka Garage, and Tonka Search and Rescue but this program is not only difficult for him but it is even difficult for me and his 12 year old brother. My son still loves Tonka Joe but I am very surprised in the difference in products and was considering Tonka Raceway but now I may even reconsider that purchase.
Tonka Space Station is Worth a Second Chance [Posted on 2001-11-11] We purchased Tonka Space Station for our son's 4th birthday and found it a little advanced for him at the time. We almost took it back to the store but decided to keep it until he was a little older. When we pulled the game back out a few months later, we purchased a gamepad, since it was a little hard to manuever the spaceships with the mouse....this made all the difference!! My son loves the games now, especially collecting energy crystals and collecting space berries (he loves to shoot the alien weeds!)
Fun, with good visual effect [Posted on 2002-11-23] This is my son's favorite CD ROM game. It has variety of games to select with. I enjoy watching him play. However, he needs help with certain tasks. It is an exciting game which is not too difficult for children 5 and up.
