5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Children's Board Game Comes to The Computer, October 28, 2000

By A Customer

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

This PC version of the popular Milton Bradley board game is a wonderful way for your children to spend hours at the computer learning to manipulate the mouse. My children (now age 5 & 2) both love the game - it's full of wonderful songs, many actvities, including pages that you can print out and color (in real life). In addition, the translation from Board game is perfect (except no cheating).

I would recommend this to all small children learning to use a computer - no reading required.

For those who got comfused on the similar titles like me, let me help. This is an edit of my earlier review.

Candy Land Game (this one)3 stars

It looks like the board game at first glance. You can have 1-4 players and each player takes turns clicking on the candy machine to get a card and then moves. The 1st to reach the end wins.
You can click on each specialty picture to have a mini adventure: sorting with plumpy, throwing gumdrops at gumdrop mountain, planting candy flowers with Grandma Nut, Making patters and colors with lollopo, builing a sundae with queen frosteen, scaring lord licorice, etc. It is mostly designed just to play around with as there are no goals at the mini stations. My 3 yr old quickly dismissed the main game as too hard. You have to click where your character is going to move to by yourself, and it is confusing to young kids. But she could play around in the other areas herself. It is good if you play with your toddler. Ages 2-5 recommended.

Candy Land Adventure (4 stars)

King Candy was kidnapped by Lord licorice and all the candy from the candy store was taken as well. Two kids (1-2 players) have to save king candy by going around in a roller coaster cart and helping the candy land characters. The adventures are coloring, numbers, ABC order, matching, etc. Each area gives you a prize and after you get them all you can rescue king candy. There are no dice or things to roll, you just pick where you want to go next.
We got this game for our special needs pre-school. The children love playing it, and it teaches them different things as well. They can finish the adventure in about an hour, so they can possibly do it all in one sitting. Or, they have a saving option that shows a picture of where they stopped in the game for easy retreival of up to 9 games. You can play each area more than once for hours of fun. Great toddler teaching game. Ages 3-8 would probably enjoy this.

A Kid's Review

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

This product was most enjoyable to play. I am getting a second game for my younger brother for his birthday because I think it will help him learn to recognize his colors. This game is especially good for childern who enjoy playing PC games instead of Regular board games.
