Zoombinis Logical Journey

Summary: Zoombinis Island Odyssey
Review: My son & I love Zoombinis Logical Adventure. Zoombinis Island Odyssey has not been so well received. It's much shorter & not as creative as the first. If this had been our first Zoombinis game I would have not bought another.

The challenges within the game are good to a waste of time. There are none that are truly spectacular like the Pizza / Arno challenge and the Fleens / Tree challenge of the Logical Journey.

Summary: Big fun and Great Game for Teaching Logic Skills
Review: This game is just what we were looking for. Our (...)daughter really enjoys it. She only needed some assistance at first and has really taken off at figuring out the patterns and logic involved to help the zoombinis travel to their new home. She even figured out the basics for helping the Zoombinis get by the fleens (something her mom and dad were slower to pick up). I would highly recommend this for 2nd graders and helps to teach math skills as well.

Summary: Gets kind of boring
Review: Zombinis is a very fun game but gets kinda boring after the first few weeks.

Summary: Could be better...
Review: The Zoombinis are very cute and it's a fun game, but the noise they make is awful! Their voices are so high pitched and annoying. I know what your saying...that I should just turn off my speakers. Well, that won't work because the only way to get directions on how to play the different activities is to listen to the narrators voice. Don't buy this game unless you're buying it for someone under 8 years old.

Summary: A Great Product
Review: If you're looking for a great educational game, the Logical Journey of the Zoombinis would be it. With different levels of puzzles that involve patterns and use lots of logic, there's no way you can't learn something. And there's also no way you can't have fun. The only drawback is that it is very addictive, but what great things aren't? If you're thinking about buying this game, don't even hesitate, because it will be well worth your money.

Summary: Zoombinis Logical Journey
Review: I am a grandmother, and the first time I purchased this game was actually for some children of a friend. When we bought the game, my husband and I sat at the computer and thought we would give it a go to see if it was "hard" enoough for the intelligent children it was intended for. Well, to say the least my husband and I was SHOCKED! It was so good we had to purchase a copy for ourselves and now have purchased a copy also for some of our grandchildren. Oh and the first version we bought for our friend's children? Its years later and they still get a kick of playing it..as do I for that matter! I am looking forward to the other versions I have just ordered recently.

Summary: A great product but may cause frustration in young kids
Review: This is wonderful product for teaching children deductive reasoning skills. It's even fun for grown ups. Each journey begins with 16 Zoombinis who must survive treacherous traps, overcome obstacles and solve problems of increasing difficulty. The only caveat is that all 16 Zoombinis must survive each step so if a child has completed many levels and spent over an hour on the game and then lose a Zoombini, they have to start all over. This caused me to give 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, a good investment.

Summary: Which one?
Review: My mom found this at a store, and ever since I've been playing Zoombinis. The good thing about these games coming together is that you can separate them and give your children one now and save the other one for later. If you don't want one of them, they come individually too. And I don't know about anything bad. I'm just nine years old.

Summary: Be Careful!
Review: We have other Zoombini games and love them but can't even use this one. We purchased a brand new computer with a pretty advanced system yet we can't play this game and it was a waste of a purchase.

After 40 minutes on the phone with Dell and being assured we had the most up to date Video Card, Sound Card and Cd-Rom drive we are still unable to install this game. We have had no help from the company's tech support either. Unless you are an expert in Video Card Drivers and can get past the "UNABLE TO SET VIDEO MODE" error message that we got I'd be careful in purchasing this one.

Summary: Algebra Made EZ
Review: I honestly think this game made Algebra come easier for me. It is a really fun little toy. You take a party of sixteen zoombinis, each of which have different eyes, hair, feet, and noses. (You choose how they look) Then, based on physical appearances (generally) you have to get them through obstacles. For instance a certain "monster" only lets zoombinis with red noses pass. There are also games where you have to use deduction. It helps build skills really well AND its fun. This is a really excellent choice for a computer game, probably for ages eight and up (I'm 14 and I still play it).
