I bought this product for my 4 year old daughter and she loves it! She has learned so much through the 3 CD-ROMs and card games it has been hard to tear her away. I recommend this product to all parents to help encourage their children to be taught the alphabet, numbers, and shapes with a sense of creativity.

Music overshadows narator. Graphics and games not near as advanced as they could be. I like useful learning interactive activities for kids and this does not fit any of those.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing - not very educational and many bugs, August 23, 2005

This review is from: Land Before Time Prehistoric Adventures (CD-ROM)

We found that this software displays letters and numbers but the program does nothing to TEACH them.

In the preschool CD, "Ducky's Leafdrop" is the only remotely educational game. It has your child matching the number of leaves dropped to a written number on the back of a creature. However, it is difficult to move the leaves with the mouse to match them. Another game has little foot coasting through the water and needing to catch the letter in the water to match the one displayed on top of the screen. After each correct catch, the next letter much be caught. It misses an opportunity to teach by never saying the letter's name.

The "bonus" CD has script errors; the preschool CD is done is 32 bit color and it wipes out my PC wallpaper so that after playing, it is completely white and I have to log off and on again to get my correct background. The kindergarten CD has no installation program so it does get added to your startup menu or create an icon.

In the pinball game, the ball actually got "stuck," the way it might on a real game but here we couldn't shake the machine like you would at an arcade. We had to exit and start over. The program isn't fully functional in Windows XP: I installed the games under one user and it cannot be used by any other user on the same pc - you get an error if you try.
