Summary: kids love putt putt
Review: I dont know why but my children adore putt putt, I brought the verson with the toy car for my daughter for her fifth birthday because she loved putt putt, Her little brother (almost 3) will not go anywhere without the toy and enjoys the game as much as she does.
The game is well randomised and when my four children played the first time they all ended up with slightly different games, they still had to find the same four things but the number on the flag was different and the items were hidden in different places which made the game far more enjoyable. Three of the items have two different places that they can be found in giving slightly different story lines and there is usually two or three things that must be done first in order to obtain the required item. You must also earn coins by recycling bottles or fetching veges and fruit from the garden maze. The coins enable you to buy the tyres, to go to the car wash or to get a paint job. My daughter invaribly ends up with a blue car (her favorite colour), my oldest has a green car and my youngest a yellow car (he does paint the car every other available colour but always leaves the paint shop with a yellow putt putt.)
The children have a lot of fun just collecting the items and driving around cartown that the race at the end becomes an added bonus, my youngest doesnt worry abount winning he just likes to run into the ducks, the older three play till they come first.

Just remember that this is a childs adventure game, that will help them to think and remember but is mostly just fun and every time they play the game is a little different.

Summary: excellent software for kids ready for more advanced games
Review: If your child has played Reader Rabbit and JumpStart and is ready to move on to more advanced gameplay, Humongous Entertainment's Putt-Putt series (and Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam, as well) are an excellent choice. These titles take the cognitive tasks up a notch as children must accumulate specific items, navigate a number of locations, and use their problem-solving skills to help their friends and achieve larger goals. Along the way, kind and gentle Putt-Putt and his dog Pep will meet a number of nice characters, visit a variety of interesting locations and play games as they complete the larger tasks. In Putt-Putt Enters the Race, the overarching goal is to collect the items needed so Putt-Putt can run in the big race, but along the way he will recycle bottles to collect money to buy his tires, visit the library to find out about an animal that needs help, etc. Specifics change if you start a new game, and as other reviewers have stated, you may want to play with your child a few times before they'll be able to enjoy it on their own, so each game is good for hours of fun.

This is a fine game in a great series. We have 5 Putt-Putt titles and enjoy them all.

Summary: Putt-Putt Enters the Race
Review: Just like all of the other Humongous Entertainment games, and especially Putt-Putt, this game is terrificly entertaining. Putt-Putt, with his dog Pep, goes to enter the Cartown 500. First, however, he'll need some safety and racing gear. Kids learn strategic thinking, mapping, memory, emergency, basic research, and reading skills, manners, and much more in this colorful, fun game with pit stops along the way where kids can play racing pinball, shelf puzzle, maze, digging, and nailing. Hundreds of clickpoints and songs await children as they go through this delightful game that changes its puzzles when you restart! If you like this game, try Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon, Joins the Parade, Saves the Zoo, and/or Travles Through Time.

Summary: Inspires Great Creative Thinking Processes
Review: My 3 year old son loves Putt Putt! He gets such a great feeling of accomplishment when he does all that he needs to do to get into the race! I like it because the goal is not a competitive one where you have to "WIN" or "LOSE". It's more of a goal of getting the tools he needs to complete a certain job. It keeps him occupied for about an hour, which also gives me great opportunities to do housework,etc. without feeling like I'm robbing him of the chance to do something he enjoys! Also, it allows him to use his own creativity & problem solving skills, because he has to figure out how to get some of the items on the list. The greatest thing, though, is when he gets all the items & then goes to the race, he runs around the house laughing & saying "Number 1" because he's so proud of himeself!

Summary: You can't miss with Putt-Putt!
Review: My 4-year old son loves Putt-Putt! I have to help him the first couple of times, but after that he has no trouble at all. I like that you have to really think and remember where things are. He doesn't realize he's learning good skills as well as having fun. I highly recommend all the Putt-Putt games.

Summary: Wonderful Game for your 4-7 year old!
Review: My 5 1/2 year old daughter has almost all of the Putt-Putt Series, and LOVES them! Keeps her entertained for Hrs. by also teaching her different skills like memory and listening that she will benefit from as she grows. This is a Definite Recommendation for any child in this age group who loves to play computer games and learn!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keeps Kids Entertained!
Review: My daughters are 4 & 3 and love this game. It took a little help from Mom to get going on it (press the F1 key if you don't get a booklet with it). They can sit and play this for hours! It teaches thinking skills - but the kids don't realize it they are actually learning something! It is a fun game and definately worth the money to buy it! I think all of the Humongous entertainment games are great! (so do my kids!)
