4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and educational even for younger players, October 13, 2002

This review is from: StarFlyers Royal Jewel Rescue (CD-ROM)

My three (and a half) year old daughter became interested in this game after we received a promotional CD at our local science museum. She loves this game, and has made great progress playing a couple of times per week over the last few months. I think this game will hold her interest for several years, since there are three levels of difficulty.

My only complaint is that in order to complete the game, the player must go through a section that involves a high level of physical control (the characters are running and jumping from object to object in traditional video game style) which younger players might not have. We just skip this part, but it would be nice after all her hard work using her brain (critical thinking skills definitely required) to have the reward at the end without my help. The recommended age is 5-8, so perhaps at those ages this part of the game would be accessible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Krazy for Katie, August 3, 2002

This review is from: StarFlyers Royal Jewel Rescue (CD-ROM)

This is a wonderful software game for jr. adverturers! My daughter (6 years) could not wait to come home each evening to play. She enjoyed the many characters and discovering their "special powers". After completing the game she instantly started playing it over again. Three cheers for the StarFlyers!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: StarFlyers Royal Jewel Rescue (CD-ROM)

I'm 11 and my sister just got this game for easter she really liked this game until she got to planet "bowlorama", she said that the game was way to hard for her and that she needed help so I said I would help and thought it would be a snap. But when I started playing I realized This game was not rated for the right age group witch was5-8, and I really think that the next time they make another game to rate it differently.But other than that I do think she really enjoyed this game so she raited it a 4.
