Fun and educational! June 4, 2007 Jan (ohio) 33 out of 33 found this review helpful
My 4 1/2 yr. old daughter absolutely loves this game. It's truely the best computer game I've ever bought for her. I like how it follows the National and State educational standards. Not only is it educational, there are many fun things for her to play with as well. After you play the learning games, you're rewarded with gems that can buy fun things to do in the Jump Start World. For instance, you can buy a pet and accesories to go along with it (food, shampoo, bows etc..). Along the way there are many friends you can talk to. Some will ask you to play hide-n-seek or have a race with them. There are many different activities to engage in at different stages in the game. There are also different badges to earn that involve team work, friendship, etc. There is a place on the right handside at Amazon where you can get a preview of the game. I recommend doing that so you can get a better sense of what the game is about. The only down side is that there are 12 units in all, but only 2 are included with the CD-Rom. You have to purchase the remaining ones. They can be downloaded from the Jump Start website each month for $7.99.
Subscription required September 26, 2007 H. Shaw (MD United States) 20 out of 21 found this review helpful
This is a great game for toddlers. My daughter and son loves it. The only thing is that the cd provides only the first two lessons. After that, the other 10 lessons will require a monthly subscription. UPDATE: I just want to warn you that Jumpstart's customer service is horrible! I tried to email them and call them about canceling my subscription. I just keep getting their answering machine!! They never called or emailed me back. I've spent $8 a month for the last year and this is what I get?
good product - terrible support September 9, 2007 G.A.L. (Kentucky) 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
my daughter loves the game. it's very educactional. She's only been able to play the first level, even thought the box clearly read you get two levels. The software companies support is terrible, I've been trying to get help from them for almost a month. They continue to tell me I'll be contacted, I'm still waiting.
Great game that excites all kids October 8, 2007 Diane (Virginia) 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
We purchased this program for my daughter (from our wholesale club not here) and we could not be happier. My 4 1/2 year old has started Kindergarten and this is a really nice balance for her...she can do it all and it seems to grow to challenger her as well. Additionally my middle son (7 years) also loves to play with it and has even asked if they make one for 2nd grade (guess that is our next purchase!). I dont know what the others are talking about with the "subscriptions" we have not seen anything about that and have played it a bunch! I am wondering if there is an extended version that we bought...not sure. Either way we are very pleased with the quality of this program!
