I waited until now to review, hoping to hear back from Activision, but 3 emails and 2 1/2 weeks later we have heard nothing. Within a couple of minutes of beginning the program it crashes on both our XP computers, blue screen of death, have to reboot. Must be an error in the program.
My child has been very disappointed, and I guess we're out $20 too.

My son (4 years old) loves backyardigans and so do I ... I could not wait to purchase this item for his Christmas. He played the whole game in one sitting... he took longer playing the Nickjr free game on line which was more challenging..there was also a fault in the game and in one section where Pablo has to fit pieces of the puzzle together the last piece would not fit in even though it was the right shape. Besides that however he likes the blasting of the rocks and the whole idea of Backyardigans in space. I hope the designers will make a longer game and include some of the fun stuff that is within the Nickjr online Mission to Mars game.

I gave this game to my daughter for Christmas because she loves the Backyardigans. She had a great time with it until it blew up the computer (blue screen of death). It does this fairly consistently. I have upgraded and/or reinstalled the video drivers and system patches, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and everything else I can think of. I wrote to Activision tech support right after we noticed the problem, and have never received any reply at all from them. We have completely removed it from our computer. Apparently, I'm out the $20. Don't waste your money!

My 3 year old granddaughter loves playing the games on this disk. Some of the games were difficult for her to figure out at first, but with practice she can now play all of them on her own. What a fun way for her to learn to navigate with the mouse and exercise her brain at the same time!
