Summary: Preschool helper (2 different games)
Review: For those who got comfused on the similar titles like me, let me help. This is an edit of my earlier review.Candy Land Game (this one)3 stars It looks like the board game at first glance. You can have 1-4 players and each player takes turns clicking on the candy machine to get a card and then moves. The 1st to reach the end wins.
You can click on each specialty picture to have a mini adventure: sorting with plumpy, throwing gumdrops at gumdrop mountain, planting candy flowers with Grandma Nut, Making patters and colors with lollopo, builing a sundae with queen frosteen, scaring lord licorice, etc. It is mostly designed just to play around with as there are no goals at the mini stations. My 3 yr old quickly dismissed the main game as too hard. You have to click where your character is going to move to by yourself, and it is confusing to young kids. But she could play around in the other areas herself. It is good if you play with your toddler. Ages 2-5 recommended. Candy Land Adventure (4 stars) King Candy was kidnapped by Lord licorice and all the candy from the candy store was taken as well. Two kids (1-2 players) have to save king candy by going around in a roller coaster cart and helping the candy land characters. The adventures are coloring, numbers, ABC order, matching, etc. Each area gives you a prize and after you get them all you can rescue king candy. There are no dice or things to roll, you just pick where you want to go next.
We got this game for our special needs pre-school. The children love playing it, and it teaches them different things as well. They can finish the adventure in about an hour, so they can possibly do it all in one sitting. Or, they have a saving option that shows a picture of where they stopped in the game for easy retreival of up to 9 games. You can play each area more than once for hours of fun. Great toddler teaching game. Ages 3-8 would probably enjoy this.

Summary: not just for kids
Review: I admit to being age 65 and love fairy tales, Candyland, etc., which I played with my three daughters (all grown now).
I got Candyland in a Cheerios Box and sent it to my granddaughter then bought another box and tried it myself. I really love it as a relaxer and building the ice cream sundaes is FUN!
You are never too old!

Summary: Nice Game but very slow!!
Review: I am not sure why, but with my HP Pavilion Pentium III, this game runs so slow. It is really aggravating. My 4-year-old still likes the game, but he gets antsy waiting for the game to catch up to his keystrokes. This is the only game we have that acts this way. Maybe it is the real time media on the cd that it has to keep accessing. If anyone has any suggestions as to why this is so slow, please write them in the reviews. Thanks.

Summary: Nice Game but very slow!!
Review: I bought this for my 4 year old. He knows his colors, but was new to the computer. He would play this game 24/7 if I allowed it (which I don't). We also have the board game which he also loves. Great game for a great price.

Summary: gives Special kids a chance
Review: I can play this version of Candyland with both my boys. My 4 yr old is typically developing and my 2 yr old has cerebral palsy. They both know their colors and enjoy the game. My little guy doesn't have the fine motor skills to handle moving a character around a board or select cards but he can click a mouse button with help. Finally, a way for my guys to play together! Now I just need a mouse/switch combo to make them even more independent.

Summary: Candyland comes alive!
Review: My girls (...) always want to play the board game Candyland - there are just not enough hours in the day for mom to play all the time with them...so, this is the perfect alternative! In fact, they prefer the computer game to the board game now. The Candyland game comes to life! The different places have different areas to click & play for as long as you choose, then back to the game! Lord Licorice is ticklish & afraid of the dark-try visiting him! The kids learn to recognize their colors and learn some matching skills as well. And it's just plain fun! I recommend this for ages 3 & up.

Summary: Candy Land
Review: this game is great for kids, I was sitting one day and looking through my closet, and noticed i had candy land, and no one who was willing to play (don't ask), anyway, I bought it and put it into my computer. it has great effects, and interactive activities, as well as the classic board game, candy land...i would recommend it for parents who have children, who love candy land, and just can't get the time to play it with them, fun game!

Summary: A Great Children's Board Game Comes to The Computer
Review: This PC version of the popular Milton Bradley board game is a wonderful way for your children to spend hours at the computer learning to manipulate the mouse. My children (now age 5 & 2) both love the game - it's full of wonderful songs, many actvities, including pages that you can print out and color (in real life). In addition, the translation from Board game is perfect (except no cheating). I would recommend this to all small children learning to use a computer - no reading required.
