Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

Based on the PBS Cyberchase TV show, this adventure stars three kids and their cyber- bird, Digit. A villain named Hacker has embarked on a mad quest to conquer the virtual universe, and kids must use their logic and problem-solving skills to thwart his plan. This particular adventure is set in a medieval land populated by monsters, vampires and mummies. Content includes eight puzzles and activities that teach strategic thinking, estimation and so on. There are three levels of difficulty. A similarly designed sister program is called Cyberchase Carnival Chaos. The games are frustratingly difficult -- this is an example of poor design.

This review is from: Cyberchase Castleblanca Quest (CD-ROM)

We own a lot of educational/entertaining software for kids. I bought this hoping it would be a step up from some of the Reader Rabbit and Jumpstart programs for Math. I was disappointed, as it is very repetitive and the "story" doesn't seem to tie together. My daughter played it once or twice, but hasn't been interested since. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The math is too difficult for the age that would find the games fun.

This review is from: Cyberchase Castleblanca Quest (CD-ROM)

My almost 6 year old enjoyed helping me navigate the puzzles the kids have to face, since he is a big fan of the TV program.

We ran into a problem in the vampire mansion, however. There was not enough information given to sucessfully navigate this screen.

Some of the challenges in this game were over the head of my Kindergartener. He was able to do one or two things by himself.

I would not reccomend paying full retail price for this title. I think that the 8-11 year old crowd that it is recommended for would be bored.
