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.

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.

I love it! The best part in this game is the coloring studio. The dalmatians look good if you put more spots on them or black. This needs a sequel, only it will let you draw spots on the puppies.

I had loads of fun while playing "Disney's Activity Center: 102 Dalmatians"-well, at least while playing "Verdogo", a fast-paced arcade game! You play as Oddball-that cute, little, spotless pup from the film-and help her make her way through Le Pelt's Bakery to save all 102 dalmatian pups! Along the way she'll need to climb up ladders, slide through tubes, ride on moving belts, jump on elevators, and, of course, dodge nasty Cruella and her gang of puppy nappers! Great graphics and hip music make this game even more entertaining!

When your done with "Verdogo", you might want to "Adopt-a-Puppy"! Players get to choose one of four cute pups and give them a name (I named mine "Ace"), then take them to one of six international parks. To encourage replay value, you get the parks one at a time. You also get cool toys, like a frisbee that you can really throw for your pup to catch!

Okay, I've told you what's good about this game. Now I'll tell you what's not.

Well, for starters, there's "Operation: Dalmatian", a logic game where you ask Waddlesworth The Parrot (Aka, The Rottweiler), questions to help you find the "Top Dog". It's fun on 2 player mode, but on one player mode, it's really, really, BORING!!! Another flop is the "Pup Art Gallery", a poorly designed art activity with not nearly enough stickers and backgrounds! And once you feed all 102 hungry puppies in "Chow Time", it gets easy and repeatitive fast (though those little pups do look really cute as they eat their dog food).

Oh well. At least "102 Dalmatians" has one really entertaining game, and four others that are fairly entertaining, as well. It will certainly satisfy young fans of the film, but may disappoint those who might expect a little more from Disney. 4 OUT OF 5!

This did not install on my kids' computer, which is Win98, and only installed on my work computer (not great). Of course, I had already opened it, so returning it wasn't worth the possible hassle. At any rate, I thought the games were not imaginative and the navigation was poor, so it was tough for my kids to get around and figure out where the games even were. Plus, the skill level required for the different "sub-games" is pretty divergent.
