I saw a preview for this game for kids. It has all the same beautiful quality graphics (like Toy Story quality!) as the DVD and videos. It has interactive games to play all with a positive message. It has a time-out feature so parents can let children play for a certain amount of time. Best of all it is FUN!! Very high quality!!

We don't buy many games, but this one's a keeper. It has the same great look as the Veggie Tales videos and, just as important, the same hilarious voices. Though it tells the story of Jonah, this is not really an educational or instructional video: kids play games (such as shooting cheese curls at pirates) to earn progress on Jonah's voyage to Nineveh. This game is just right for my six year old; the box recommends the game for ages five and up. Parents can set an internal "egg timer" which tells the kids when time is up--30 minutes on this game is great reward for chores or school work!

In this game, you can throw messages from God into tents and break pots and hit screeching cats (off screen)to boot. You can shoot athletic equipment at whales, skid camels down hills, bounce a prophetic asparagus up a building to stop people from slapping each other with fish, and shoot yelling vegetables into the sea. My nephew (and my mother and myself) enjoy sending the Veggies off the screen in the plank walking game best. This is the best game to leave a child alone with because it has large colored arrows that help a pre-reading child to navigate the game to find the part that he likes. I highly recommend this game.

This game is OK for a little mindless fun. There's not too much in the way of Bible story content or educational value. It's even more stripped down than the move.

My five year old has played it a few times and enjoyed it, but it's not her favorite. She likes Mr. Potato Head's Adventure (dress up game mostly) and several Blue's Clues games better.

Great game. My boys have so much fun. They laugh and laugh over this. And sometimes they just watch the story. They have learned so much of the Bible thru Veggie Tales. My kids are 3 & 5 and they have no problem playing this one.

From a great movie to a great video game with clips from the movie. It's fun for all players!

I saw a friend's kid playing it and it looks like fun, however I was disappointed to know that it doesn't work on the Mac.

The Mac being the computer most used in schools should be considered when designing computer games these days and the thought should come by default to software companies. I guess I'll have to settle to Blue's Clue's, Dora the Explorer, Putt-Putt and Pajama Sam for now until they (if they ever do) release it for Macintosh.

I would have given it 5 stars if they made it for Macintosh and I actually could buy it (therefore).
