Amazon.com Review

Exploring London and Paris to find 102 missing Dalmatian puppies is quite an adventure; kids dodge Cruella, Le Pelt, and Alonso while playing zany, multilevel games and learning about historic spots.

This CD-ROM is extremely kid-friendly. Kids ages 4 through 8 navigate the main screen using a giant puppy paw as a cursor. However, one of the games, Adopt a Puppy, requires Internet connectivity and parental supervision since kids download up to six "international online parks" as they progress through the game.

Whether children print postcards from around the world or learn the responsibilities of adopting a virtual puppy, they'll get to practice their problem-solving skills while trying to make all 102 Dalmatians happy. Our favorite game in Disney's 102 Dalmatians Activity Center is Verdogo, a fast-paced arcade-style maze where kids travel through pneumatic tubes, rotating pans, ladders, and moving belts to find wayward pups while avoiding Alonso, Le Pelt, and Cruella.

Another challenging game, Chow Time, has kids slinging dog food while getting great practice using the arrow keys and space bar to make sure none of the pups goes hungry. For creative kids, the Pup Art Gallery will provide hours of fun while kids study the masters of "pup" art. Children can create their own art by choosing from a variety of backgrounds and character stickers from the movie.

Finally, kids get a chance to play detective in Operation: Dalmatian, a mind-bending logic game. Children can play this interactive, top-secret mission and apply deductive reasoning skills as they collect clues to find the Top Dog. (Ages 4 to 8) --Tina Velgos

1.0 out of 5 stars Too bad it can't be rated 0 stars, February 12, 2001

This review is from: Disney's 102 Dalmatians Activity Center (CD-ROM)

Typical Disney software - it should take a developer an afternoon to put this together. Disney should be ashamed for charging money for such a weak, boring, uninspired product. There's better free games for my kids.

Buy this and your kids will be bored with it in 30 minutes and you'll feel stupid for giving Disney your money.

My very bright 5 year old was bored after the first 30 minutes. The games are not much fun, and my son was very disappointed.

This review is from: Disney's 102 Dalmatians Activity Center (CD-ROM)

I bought this software for my kids for Christmas 2000. I have a boy 3 and a girl 8. They were totally bored with this in about 20 minutes. There are very few things to actually do in this program. You can adopt a dog from the adoption center, use the art center for typical things, feed and play with your dog in different parks. Once you pick your dog from the dog adoption center you can NEVER change the dog you have. The only way is to create a new signon name when starting the game. Also there is many famous landmarks for London and Paris shown. But once you click on the landmark a picture of the landmark and a brief description is given. Way to boring for any child I know of (even adults for that matter).

Save your money and buy something else. I wish I did.
