4.0 out of 5 stars Four stars for four year olds, December 12, 2000

Steve (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Candy Land Adventure (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

I considered being a bit harsher grading this, but given that my four year old daughter really enjoys this, I figure four stars is fair. My problem with it is in the Queen Frostine area where the user has to color several pictures to advance. This is the hardest area and is made even more difficult by the small spaces the user has to point and click into in order to add color. This isn't a major problem and does get easier as their mouse skills improve, but on first use, I thought it unnecessarily hard. Otherwise, my kids all love it (ages 10-4) and my youngest, who it belongs to, loves playing it again and again. It's fun and sweet with songs and silliness a youngster would enjoy.

This is a sweet game that my son loves to play again and again. Playing includes a coloring page, arranging shortest to tallest, counting, alphabet, size comparison, and memory match. You can choose between two levels - easy or hard.

He can play most of the game by himself, except for the shortest to tallest board, he has some trouble. But ability to complete game play without assistance will vary among each child's skill level.

Cons: This game was made before Windows XP. Therefore we experience error messages. Sometimes we have to start the games two or three times before it will begin game play without an error message. Then there's the problem with playing in two player game mode. You can't! The main solution given by the game's web site, is to let kids take turns on the 1 player option.

Other than the game errors, this is a good game for preschoolers.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great first computer game for kids, October 12, 2002

Good news here - this game is truly fun and engaging for kids 3 and up. What's more, it gives kids much more thinking opportunities than its board game predecessor. My son and I started when he was 3 and aseat on my lap. We had hours of fun and never got one cavity from all that candy!
