Being in the computer business, it is very seldom I can't something to run. Well this is one program I warn you to stay away from. After spending 2 hours, I went to the Disney website and found out, it has problems with many 3d graphics card. Read this carefully, if you have a Savage card this product does not work, if you have a SIS (most Compaq's) it does not work. I have 5 computers in my home and this worked on one. In addition the one computer that the graphics will work on, the game freezes. If we would have kept the box I would have returned this product for sure. We have purchased most of the Fisher Price games and we also have allot of Disney and this one is not worth the money.

I give this 4 stars because at times it is too hard for the suggested age group. Also, I had to reset my graphics accelerator according to Disney's Customer Support page which no child should be doing. I needed the hints to start level 4 and found the cave to get the "missing" honey pots. I liked the game enough to keep trying to find out why it wouldn't play and was not disappointed with the end results. Sadly, I am an adult learning to play computer games.

I bought Tigger's Honey Hunt for my five-year-old son. I was quite disappointed in the game. The main part of the game, the Honey Hunt, really can't be classified as an adventure game (at least at the level at which we have been able to play it). There is no reasoning and no learning going on here. You bounce Tigger around a landscape and catch floating honey pots. I'll admit, the landscape animation and the way Tigger bounces are pretty cool (thus the two star rating). But it is quite frustrating to get to the end of a round and have Owl tell you that you did not collect enough honey pots, even though you thought you got them all!

The Mini Games are simultaneously too hard and too easy. The interface to them requires that you consult the manual, which I think is asking a bit much of a five-year-old. (Left is the X key, Down is C, Enter is F, etc. !?!) The games are designed to accommodate multiple players using only a keyboard, but I don't think most people would use these as multi-player games anyway. Once you figure out which keys to use, the games are too simplistic to be interesting. And even using the correct keys, it sometimes seems that the game does not respond to your keystrokes when it should. And it seems to have no mouse interface!

The animation is cool, but overall, a big disappointment.

I find it difficult, but my kindergarten son really enjoys it.

I highly recomend this game. My son is 5 months old and he loves Tigger and the graphics of this game. We don't own the game but, my best friend does and I sat with my son in front of her computer and played the game with him. I have never seen him so excited about anything before except for food. So I do highly recomend this game.
