2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappoined!, July 24, 2007

This review is from: Tonka FireFighter (CD-ROM)

Bought this to amuse my just turned 3 grandson who can use the mouse but is a bit ackward. It is advertised for the xp system which I have on my laptop. It may not be a problem of the game but I have to shut down my computer once or twice and restart before it will play. We have only done the firetruck part and not all of that. Once you have completed a job, you can't do it again unless you start a game under a new name. You click on equipment laying on the floor and try and place it on the firetruck where a shadow indicates the shape. Just try and find the shadow of the coiled hose. I am an adult and had trouble finding where a couple of items go. Some of the small items must be positioned exactly before they will click into place. If you miss it, they fall on the ground and must be picked up again. When you wash then rinse then polish the truck, the voice comes on to tell you that you have done a good job before my grandson has even managed to make a good start and keeps repeating. It is difficult and probably almost impossibe for a 3 year old to position and align the truck so that the hose will spray on a bush fire. Perhaps older kids would like it but age 3 was the lowest age it was recommended for. My grandson who has liked other computer games, especially a jigsaw puzzle game with 5 or 6 pieces, gave up playing.

MY 6 1/2 year old loves this game! He owns and plays Wii Firefighter and has played other similar games, but this is his favorite. He likes to complete all the taskes to reach the different ranks at the fire house. After, he can print out a certificate making him an honorary firefighter at that level. The fire chief currently is on the fridge. Because our original copy broke when he was 4, he had not played it since then. He asked to have a new copy and it is still his favorite! Easy to play for smaller hands and clear audio directions.

I bought this for my son when he was 3. He was already good with the mouse and had no trouble playing. He played this every now and then for 2 years. After getting all the checks by doing the missions, he would ask me to remove them (I uninstall) so that he could get them all over again. He loved getting the badge and printing things too.
