This review is from: Arthur's Pet Chase (CD-ROM)

This is an arcade game for youngsters, which means there is really no educational value -- just repetitive action: jumping, throwing and some short term planning about where to jump and when to throw.

IMHO, kids will get to these kind of games soon enough. I'm not in a rush to introduce mindless arcade-style entertainment. That said, the game is stable and installs easily.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice introductory computer game for 5 year old, December 28, 2010

My son loved to play this game at our local library, but never got enough game time because of all the children who wished to also play. So, we purchase dit for him as a Christmas gift and have been very happy with the software. Good introduction to keyboard usage. Basic problem solving skills required.
