5.0 out of 5 stars Better than others that I tried. My son loves it!

My son loves this game! It's designed so much better than the others that he has (and he has Disney kindergarten Bundle, Clifford Thinking Adventures, and Franklin).While other games are entertaining (especially Franklin goes to school), Jump Start World has way more games than other CDs and the graphics are great!My son is currently on the second module and I am definitely getting the rest for him. He can play for hours and even though the game only has the first 2 units on the CD, it's still more than other CDs offer.And the need to get the lessons mastered to progress to the next level really makes him learn!

the 2 levels included are fun and GREAT for learning. my child advanced quickly through them and now, we are prompted every game to buy more levels. i have had problems in the past with cancelling subscriptions so i am very wary. think i will stick with the original 2 levels and call it a loss. too bad, i would have purchased more jumpstart product...

3.0 out of 5 stars It's all true, or mostly true . . .
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2008
Verified Purchase
My 6 year old loves it, and for entertainment and educational value I would have given the product 4 stars. However, I was a bit shocked to realize I had to fork over more money so my child could continue past the first two sessions. Maybe it did say that on the box, but I missed that part. I paid the additional dues, and my son loves it. When I buy a child's software, though, I don't want to have to connect to the Internet to use it, or pay monthly fees to use it. I haven't yet experienced customer service like the others have.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 1/2 Year Old Daughter and Dad VERY Impressed!
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2008
Verified Purchase
My 3 1/2 year old daughter has been on the computer since age 18 months. She is very skilled with the mouse, but hasn't had much opportunity to use a keyboard. This game requires primarily keyboard, (using arrow keys and space bar), to navigate and interact with the characters...and the mouse to activate various featues and to play some games. After about an hour she was able to move around the 3-D interactive world very well and she quickly began to recognize that when the mouse symbol appeared that she could activate a feature using the mouse.

We have purchased about 25 computer games from her over the past several years, but none come close to the clever interaction that has been interwoven into this program. There is a wonderful mixture of exploration, fun, and learning...not to mention delightful surprise.

Though we have only worked through the first level, the game offerings were excellent for her. She was able to perform 80% of the games solo, (with parent sit-by), and the rest of the games I had to perform with her, but I was able to ask her questions and prompt her for the correct response.

My daughter loves this game so much that I have to limit use. Prior, I had a 30 minute rule and then we would have to read books, play, paint, etc. However, I have allowed her to play this game for 1 hour the past 2 weeks...though I am starting to cut back to the original 30. The reason I am fudging on my own rule is because she enjoys both the 3D environment and the lessons/games equally. So, she is spending a lot of time playing certain sorting, alphabet, and counting games over and over.

I haven't had to start shelling bucks out yet for additional adventure packs, but I will have no problem investing particularly when I look at the stack of old CD's I have purchased for her...some for a premium...with little true learning/benefit.

I would recommend this highly, but as a previous parent said, you should always be available to your child as they play the game...and for little ones like my daughter, you might as well camp out...but it's worth it!

My 5 yo daughter and I are both dissapointed. We've tried installing this game on 4 different computers, and even had our neighbors try, and it just keeps shutting down. I'm surprised a product like this came from Jump Start.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware of Subscriptions
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2007
Verified Purchase
I liked the product; my daughter learned a lot. Now I am trying to cancel, because every time she uses it, our credit card gets charged $7.99. I had to search for how to cancel; the website says cancel by calling a long distance number (not an 800 number). The number has a long, long wait on it. I have better things to do with my time.

Buyer, beware.
