Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

It's a Very Large Soup Party in the Hundred-Acre Wood, and children must help Piglet gather the ingredients. As Piglet, kids explore screen after screen of beautiful Winnie-the-Pooh cartoon style graphics, with movie-quality narration. They'll meet up with other characters, help them solve problems, and collect milk, honey and "haycorns" to make the soup. This is a classic "explore and find", scavenger hunt program that was designed by Hulabee Entertainment for Disney--the same team that made Freddi Fish, Putt Putt and Ollo. The main strength of the program is that it is wonderfully simple to play, with lots of story-related clickables and entertaining activities. For example, to get to a nearby island, children have to carefully time Piglet's jumps. To get Pooh's honey pot, they must first sequence five spice jars. Children can save games, and even turn on subtitles, making this a strong language experience activity for early readers or hearing impaired children. There's also a scrapbook to help kids remember what they need to collect. So why doesn't the CD get a higher rating? There isn't enough content. Once you've played the program through to the end (which one savvy five year old tester did in about 2 hours), you're done. Still, this is a very nice starter program for younger preschoolers. Note that there is also a Game Boy Advance version (with the same title) which is not nearly as good as this Mac/Windows version.Copyright © 2001 Children's Software Revue

This review is from: Piglet's Big Game (CD-ROM)

I hadn't noticed this game because I find most Disney software to be lesser quality than several other brands; but then I read that Disney contracted Hulabee to design this program and I immediately purchased it. My four-year-old daughter who is an avid educational game player loved it. She finished it in less than an hour. The graphics are excellent; the game's design is Hulabee quality--both engaging and rich in problem solving education. The only problem was it was too easy for my girl. I recommend it for ages 2-4. However, despite it being too easy, by daughter continues to play it. It's a hit!

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and Sweet, April 21, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Piglet's Big Game (CD-ROM)

This is worth the purchase. The graphics are good, and the story is cute - but it only took about 40 minutes for me and my 5-year old to complete. He hasn't played it since completing it. The ending was a little disappointing - there's really not much to do after collecting the needed materials for the big soup. But again, it was cute, a nice tie in with the movie, and a good amount of fun for straight 30-40 minutes. Child could complete almost entirely on his own.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very simplistic game, May 25, 2006

This review is from: Piglet's Big Game (CD-ROM)

This game was not at all challenging for my five year old daughter. She got through it in under an hour,and in under twenty minutes the second and last time she played it. It is probably more suited to 3-4 year old children, depending on their computer skills.On the plus side the graphics are nice.
