Review: I was impressed by the effort on the part of the graphics. They are clean and colorful. Most of the games are worth playing as well. My son loves the humor. But, why, Mr. henson, did you not put in the voices of any of our favorite characters? Only printed dialogue? That's unusual. No voice for kermit, or piggy. A nice swedish chef song we all know and love, but it seems the joy of hearing our favorite characters interact has been forgotten here. Other than that, the game is great fun, with a nice dash of humor from our favorite 'hecklers' between sketches. That's what each mini-game is set up as. Like a sketch from the original muppet show. This was enjoyable, but it lacked a little of the magic we remember.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: My sister bought this game for my 4yo daughter this Christmas, and she enjoys playing it (granting it a second star.)That being said, I found this title the fall way short of the sort of work that Henson and Activision are capable of. The graphics they were weak and blocky. I think the title plays in standard VGA mode. As mentioned by a previous reviewers, all of the between play content consists of still images and text, rather than actually being animated and spoken by the characters. All together I was so unimpressed that I had to check the back of the box to assure myself that it was in fact a new release and not something put out 10-15 years ago. The gameplay is alright for the younger crowd their aimed at, but the controls are completely keyboard-based. It would have been much simpler for the kids (and everyone else, for that matter) to have had all of the games controlled by the mouse, or perhaps even both to give people the option. None of the games needed keyboard control, and I think all of them were hindered by it. Would I buy this title having seen it? Well, it is only ten bucks... but I'd probably hold off until it got clearanced at half off.
