Product Description

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

Children help Bob the Builder fix up a park in this pleasant program. Activities are generous in number (we counted at least ten), and are easy enough for children with beginning mouse skills. Problem solving is a big focus throughout. Children help Bob by choosing and arranging the park's bandstand, pond and trees, guiding misdirected ducks, rabbits and other animals back into their pens, fixing a skateboard ramp for Spud, and reassembling dinosaur bones, among other things. Weaknesses are few and insignificant. The cursor is awkward to control in a handful of the activities, and kids inadvertently select the wrong button when positioning a golf club, or when guiding animals to pens. Strengths are abundant. The instructions are clear and readily accessible, but don't interfere with the game's responsivity. The characters offer support that is interruptible and not overdone. Children can easily see what they've completed via a child-friendly progress report, and can adjust difficulty levels for most activities. Most importantly, preschool testers thoroughly enjoyed the program.

3.0 out of 5 stars Unsophisticated, December 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bob the Builder: Bob Builds a Park (CD-ROM)

~My three-year-old son loves Bob the builder. That is the reason I bought this game. However, this product is just blow the bar. Poor graphic quality and boring game design. Compared with the kid software made by Disney or other company, this product is not refined enough and gives people home-made feeling. I gave it 3-star instead of 1-star because it is still a Bob the builder and my son likes to play with it. If you want to buy a Bob the builder PC game, this is one of the only two on the market.~~ If you just want to get some really nice pc game for young kid, look for something else.~

4.0 out of 5 stars But I disagree with the age range, August 17, 2003

My son is an expert on this game and he is 3. In today's world, with kids so much more computer-literate, this game is really quite simple. Great for a 2-3 year old that loves Bob.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad graphics, confusing and boring, November 20, 2003

I am so sorry I bought this game, its such a waste of money for us. My 3 1/2 year old likes Bob and has videos and toys so I thought this would be good for him. But the games are very limited so they get boring quickly, moving around is very confusing and even the graphics are very bad. There's much better stuff out there for the kids. Reader Rabbit is the best we've found so far.
