2.0 out of 5 stars The Licensing Company, April 9, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Strawberry Shortcake Amazing Cookie Party (CD-ROM)

Very little educational value in this title. My daughter was bored after about 15 minutes. The whole underlying game is poorly planned and very disjointed. It was slapped together quickly to cash in on the name. The background music was the best part.
For this price, perhaps it will kill a rainy afternoon and get your kid smiling. But don't expect much after that.
I would highly recommend the I Spy series (only two now). They are much more engaging and kids get a sense of accomplishment AND learn in the process.
Oh and if you have a mac, forget it. We couuldn't get past the start menu. We have PCs in the house - it was fine on them. But don't waste your energy if you are mac only.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too few activities and they are boring, July 20, 2004

This review is from: Strawberry Shortcake Amazing Cookie Party (CD-ROM)

My 4 year old daughter really wants to like the game, since she is a big Strawberry Shortcake fan. However, she can only play the game for about 10 minutes before getting really bored and switching to another game. She usually plays certain preschool or kindergarten educational games for about 30 to 45 minutes, so I know it's not her attention span. Most activites in this game are too repetitive with no variations.

The graphics is cute though, that's probably why my daughter still pops the CD in once in a while.

This review is from: Strawberry Shortcake Amazing Cookie Party (CD-ROM)

It's important to get kids interested in computers and learning, so why not include "Amazing Cookie Party" in your lesson plan? Children will love the brightly-colored animation and cheerfulness that radiates from this CD-ROM. And Strawberry Shortcake serves as a berry friendly guide to all of the games...

Steer a graham cracker surfboard down the River Fudge, watching out for whirlpools...Make mouth-watering houses in Cakewalk to earn cherries...Collect falling fruit for Orange Blossom in her orchard...When you're done, step into the Amazing Cookie Factory, where you can unload the ingredients you've collected and select a tasty recipe to make. The cookies turn out super cute and look good enough to eat!

I would have given this software 5 stars had it not been for the difficulty I had in installing it. I also feel that the Orange Orchard activity may be a bit frustrating for some 4-6 year-olds (speedwise) and that there could have been one or two more games and recipes included. Other than that, "Amazing Cookie Party" is a ton of fun and worth the price. I highly recommend parents that loved SSC as children to introduce this to their kids. :)
