Product Description

This program's fabulous graphics and animations dazzled testers and reviewers alike. Everything in Wizard Wizmo's workshop appears to be alive. Characters are always moving, screens are overflowing with clickable animations, and effects are generous. Six activities, focused on colors, shapes, sequencing and letter sounds, are found via rainbow-colored pointing portholes, and a readily available exit icon lets kids easily exit games (although they have to click "yes" as well). Some of the games are excellent, like the highly responsive target shooting games that ask kids to find objects and animals with particular attributes. Also unusually good is an open-ended art activity that lets children decorate pages with bright and colorful shapes and objects. Particularly child-friendly, the program lets kids easily move between pages, select art tools and print pictures. Responsivity is sometimes an issue, particularly in a picture concentration game that is weakened by uninterruptible character comments. All things considered, however, this refreshing set of activities reels the kids in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our favorite computer game!, January 17, 2003

We received this game for our almost 3 year old son this Christmas. He adores it! The graphics are fabulous and the screen can scroll to the left and to the right, which increases the game's play area. There are about 5 games to be played, and my son is able to navigate throughout all of them without any help from me. After completing any game, you receive a "prize" which are all collected in another area of the game. There are a couple of reading and matching games which are a little old for him, so the game will grow with him. Even in the game's "home" area, you can go to different objects in the workshop which will animate when clicked upon. It is really cute, I even enjoy playing it with him!

I bought this program for my daughters after I read that it received an excellent review in the Children's Software Review magazine. I was expecting it to be good but it surpassed my expectations. The graphics are amazing and simply the best that I have ever seen on a children's software program. Playing the game is like watching a high-definition movie! The characters are sweet and lovable and the games are so creative. My girls actually fight over who gets to play it. This is a fresh, fun entertaining gem of children's software!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Kid's Game Title, January 21, 2003

This review is from: Wizmo's Workshop: Dragons of Frozzbokk (CD-ROM)

I would tell you how happy I am with this product, but it would be easier just to tell you that both of my kids still play the little games in Wizmo's Workshop over and over even though they have probably played them a 1000 times! The world and art of the game are colorful and beautifully created, and the characters fit perfectly. A must have if you like to look for quality, fun games for your children.
