Summary: The first and the best
Review: Don't let the new Atari packaging fool you - this game is a few years old. But it is an excellent game and well worth buying. Aside from offending goat's milk afficianados, this is a clean, kid-friendly game - which there are not nearly enough of in the world. If you thought it was too short or easy, play it again - there are several variations to get through, some more challenging than others. If you get stuck, there is a very complete help file included on the CD, or you can go to the website and get all the free hints you want. My daughter never seems to tire of it and has gone back to it again and again. There are a couple of places that require reading, so that a five or six year old might need some help, but be careful - you might end up staying up after their bedtime to play it yourself!Here's hoping Atari decides to make Spy Fox 4, and soon (before my kid is too old to give me an excuse to buy it! ;-).

Summary: One of the few (very few) games I'd recommend
Review: It has action without inappropriate violence, amusing one-liners, one very cool star and plenty of opportunity for kids to think a little. 6-year old kids can go through this one on their own, but it's funny enough for parents to watch over their shoulder. In a market filled with brainless violent games aimed at a young audience and saccharine-sweet "educational" programs no one wants to play, I found that the three Spy Fox adventures struck a nice balance. I, for one, would love to see a fourth Spy Fox adventure.

Summary: terrible game
Review: My 5 year old got it as a gift and popped it in. After endless listening to the slow talking fox (you could actually spend 20 minutes without more than two mouse clicks), we got nowhere. I don't have hours on end to sit with him while looking on-line for every stupid click sequence to get to the next step. After an hour we gave up and I was so ticked off I had to pen this review.

Summary: Fun for all - while it lasts
Review: My 6-year old finished this entire game in the first day he had it. He said it does the same old things that all prevous ones did. He doesn't want any future Spy Fox games unless they find away to make their games more challenging and interesting.

Review: Spy Fox has a better stock of one-liners than his human role model, James Bond. My 6 year old daughter had a great time working her way through the mystery, although some of the leaps in logic required a little help - which is fine, because I enjoyed playing along. The characters are interesting and funny, and it's clear that a lot more development work went into this than many kids games. Be aware, though: unlike arcade style games, once you're done, you're done. Still a great investment, though!

Summary: Fun Game - will teach your kids logic
Review: Spy Fox is the most difficult of the Humongous Entertainment Games. This level is tageted for kids over 6.
Spy fox is the James Bond of the animal kingdom. He has to free the worlds cows from an evil goat 'William the Kid".
You must complete a variety of tasks and reach certain destinations by using clues and spy tools. The game changes each time you play. And when you solve the crime you must capture the criminal.
Adults may even find Spy Fox games difficult. My daughter solved most of this on her own when she was 5, but she is persistant and worked for days and days. After helping her I found the game to be fun and challenging, and we bought other Spy Fox games when we finished this one.
If your kids are not at this level, try Putt-Putt(age 3 and up), Freddy the Fish(4 and up), or Pajama Sam(5 and up).
