I Spy Fantasy [Old Version]

This game is like hidden education. They are learning and don't even know it.

At 20.00 this game is a steal. Hell, it would be a steal at 40.00.

In short, if you have a child that likes computer games and want one that won't drain their brain cells but fill them, get this game now.

I have bought more than 30 computer games for my 4 1/2 year old son over the last 3 years. I have to say that this one has the best graphics of all the games I have seen so far. My son has been into I Spy books ever since he was barely one year old (the board book version at first). I was afraid that this game might not live up to his expectations. However, it was that and much more. I get bored watching him play his other computer games sometimes, but I can actively participate in this one. I even installed it in my computer at the office so that I can play it when there is a lull at work. Excellent in terms of building their vocabulary as well.

I won't waste your time with too lengthy a review. "I Spy Fantasy" is filled with such great animation and attention-grabbing graphics that it's not unusual for my kids to eagerly complete any homework so they can load the software! I paid around $23.00 with shipping and handling for an I SPY game that is very much value prioed. The kids were able to load the software with little help from me. I even found myself glued to their screen as they navigated through the first session on our sluggish computer. Amazingly, the software didn't consume all of the hard drive and it loaded faster than many other gamed that I've purchased online for them.

The kids have enjoyed it so much that they wrote a letter to the Computer Literacy Department at their school in Scottsdale, Arizona. A review was held and I was asked to take them to the school and have them answer a few questions before the Computer Literacy Board. Since the minute of their birth I was impressed by them and the night they put together a short presentation and answered questions about "I SPY FANTASY", I found myself elated.

I'm cautious about the types of games and software that I purchase for my children and for relatives. Sometimes I make mistakes and other times I make good choices. When I purchased this impressive fantasy game, online as always, I couldn't wait to see their reactions as they are all "I SPY" enthusiasts. These wonderful children raced to the computer room and then yelled, all at the very same time, "Thank you, Daddy!", and once again that warm feeling of joy filled Dads heart.

This software is a great investment. Your child will enjoy this program and will likely never tire of it-so common with so many other software programs I've purchased. It's a great way to spend a few bucks on your priceless children. I promise you many hours of peace and quiet. How else could you better spend less than $20.00?

Thanks for taking the time to read my review. I really appreciate it and my kids are already asking me if I have had any positive responses. I told them if we get 50 or more I will buy them a brand new large monitor-so they can better view their "I SPY FANTASY" software and enjoy the awesome clarity of the animations and graphics.

Warm Regards to ALL!

In our culture littered with violent games for children, a big "Thank You!" to Scholastic for providing intelligent, educational, imaginative, challenging, non-violent games for children. The visuals are beautiful and well designed, the puzzles are witty, the music is well chosen. The adventures are engaging and truly fantastic! My son and I highly recommend this software!

This is a really fun game to play with your grandchildren. My 6 year old grandaughter just loves it. She does most of the things by herself, but I enjoy helping her out when she gets stuck. Granpa likes it too. Nice change of pace from the whole barbie, princess and dress-up stuff.
