Summary: Not another boring computer game
Review: The questions I ponder when I buy a computer game are: Will the kids like it? Will the graphics be good? Will the kids want to play it over and over? Is it educational? As we all know we don't get to try before we buy so we end up with a stack of games that the kids don't want to play. However, this one is a winner. My kids love it, the graphics are great, they always want to play this game, and it's educational. The main theme is that it Sam's birthday and his friends are throwing him a surprize birthday party. The player of the game has to help make cookies, design banners and wrapping paper, wrap presents, it just goes on and on. You will not waste your money.

Summary: Uninspired and dull with clunky interface
Review: There is one part of this game where the main character enters a room that is entirely empty except for a carpet, a few drapes, and blank walls. It's like someone forgot to work on the scene. There are other parts where the animated characters do the same things over and over and over, and the tasks are extremely repetitive. Other scenes are equally dense or unimaginative. The artwork is awkward and ugly. The interface is non-intuitive, as is the flow of the story. There's also this Blob thing that lays on the ground to help you with navigation, and he's a depressing little thing.

So, this title is not recommended. Try Freddi Fish or Puttputt or SpyFox. Avoid this turkey in disguise.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quite Engaging for Any Youngster
Review: This software immediately caught my 4 year old's attention. The animation is great, and Reader Rabbit even addresses your child by their name (which you supply the program).

Many wonderful games for children to learn sequencing, matching, similarities & differences, and many more things. A second disk is even included that allows you to print helpful worksheets so that you may work away from the computer.

This software is money well spent.
