Summary: Different each time you play!
Review: If you have not caught on to Freddi, take a second look. This is an interactive game that is age appropriate and lots of fun. The child directs Freddi and his buddy through the waters in an attempt to gather all the makings of trap such that a fake ghost can be revealed. It teaches problem solving skills and hold the interest of a child (and adults) throughout.We are buying our second Freddi CD this holiday season.

Summary: Freddi 3: Conch Shell
Review: My children (ages 3 and 5) spend hours with this game. They do not get bored with it since the game changes each time they play. Great memory challenges and problem solving -- along with laughs -- as they unlock the mystery.

Summary: Great for little starters!
Review: My daughter began with Freddi Fish at the age of 3 years. She would play on the computer for hours, and she was learning while having fun. This is a great program for little starters, to begin learning how to use the mouse and how to use basic computer skills. It would make an excellent gift!

Summary: SCRABBLE ACROSS DISTANCES
Review: My mom is not one for computer games but loves Scrabble. Since I live so far away, I bought this for her to try. (She has won every game!) Besides the actual games, we write each other little notes at the end of our turn. Now, she plays with several of her friends from across the country and even in her home town. It was easy for her to setup and the computer keeps track of scores, challenges and even shuffling your tiles.

Summary: Freddi 3: Conch Shell
Review: My parents bought this game for my daughter. Being somewhat of a "game snob," I was somewhat skeptical of its merit. This game turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise! It was quite enjoyable, reminiscent of those old Infocom games I played as a child. My three-and-a-half-year-old daughter absolutely loved it. She was glued to the computer for a month, and would probably have remained there longer if Christmas hadn't come. As it is, she still revisits this game occassionally. This game has the following desirable features: 1. Replayability -- There are roughly 10 quests to solve, but only three appear in a given game. The final quest at the end also has a random element 2. Challenge -- These puzzles are not trivial for young children. Even Dad had to think for a minute or two on some of these puzzles. 3. Attention to detail -- Most things in this game will react when you click on them. This ties in with the replayability. For example, my daughter spent hours clicking on the monkey and squealing with delight when it reacted with disgust upon peeling bannanas full of bugs. This also kept the frustration levels low when the puzzles were too difficult for her to solve on her own. 4. Memory building -- I was amazed at how quickly my daughter caught on when I helped her solve puzzles. This game builds memory skills that will definitely prove useful in years to come

Summary: Wish it had lasted forever
Review: My sisters and I loved this game, right up until they discontinued the server that passed our games back and forth. Now we can't play anymore and we sure do miss it. We are in four different states and we used to be able to keep in touch daily. After you take your turn you can add a message and it feels like you aren't very far away at all! It used to be so much fun to check my email and see how many Scrabble turns I had waiting. One sister and I always had several games going at once!

Summary: One Year Later
Review: My son received this game as a gift on his fourth bithday, and still plays it on a regular basis! That's more than I can say for any toy or game he has ever owned. The ever-changing scenerios within the game keep it fresh and new every time he plays. I am still amazed that such a long and involved game can keep his attention for so long, and for so many times over. I credit that to the excellent animation, music, plot, and over-all challenge of the game. Although he has solved the mystery dozens of times over he still gets excited every time he does it again.

Summary: Probably the best series
Review: My son started torturing the computer at the age of 2, and still does three years later. We tried many games, but the software from Humongous is really the best, and the Freddi fish is a beatiful series of a crime/detective type. It's wery well designed, kids have a feeling of interacting with an animation movie. We ended up having all F.Fs and Putt-putts (other series from Humongous). Would advise to any parent to have it.
