What our customer's say!

"Don't waste your money", I bought this for my daughter this Christmas. She was excited to use it but it brought nothing but frustration. She used the preschool version years ago and loved it so I thought this would be great. Was I Wrong!!! The directions are confusing and unclear. The pets playground doesn't even work. It crashes my computer every time we try it. The fundamentals disc didn't let her pick the character she wanted, it kept defaulting back to another character and maneuvering through the program was extremely confusing and very user UNFRIENDLY!! Not what you want from a childs program. How can a 6 or 7 year old figure this out if her 40 year old mother can't understand it! This product is poorly manufactured, I am extremely disappointed and I won't be buying from this company again.

"Bad for Macs", You should only get this if you have a PC. They advertise that the 4th disk (Pet Playground) is PC only, which is fine. But the 3rd CD (Mystery Club Vol. 1) while saying Windows/Macintosh on it has nothing but PC .exe and .dll files -- nothing I can use on my Mac.

The first CD (Fundamentals) works on my Intel Mac in OS X native mode (OS X 10.5). It crashes on my PPC PowerBook G3. The second CD (Field Trip Adventure) is Classic only. It won't run on my Intel system, but is OK on my PPC.

My reaction to this (without running the programs) is that they are just throwing a bunch of stuff together. Here's a CD we made back in the OS 9 days, here's one we've made recently. Webkinz is really popular so we're tossing in virtual pets as well. Perhaps I'd be more impressed if I could get everything to run, but I'm seriously considering returning this mess.

"Attention Mac users ...", If you use a Mac, you should be aware that the fourth disc (Pet Playground) that was added to version 2 does not work on a Mac. You might be able to save money by getting the older version that has just three discs anyway. Jumpstart Advanced 2nd Grade (PC & Mac) Otherwise, the other discs are fine. My daughter has had JS Preschool, Kindergarten and 1st grade also, and loved them. She plays this one some, but does not seem to find it as interesting as she did the others. It could be the content, or perhaps she is just getting burned out on Jump Start.

"Geared more to boys.", I purchased this for my daughter. She does not play it very often. It is not something that interests her. This game seems more geared to boys. Another issue is that the instructions are not clear. I had to play and figure out the games first, to explain to my daughter. I tried to let her figure it out on her own but she was getting frustrated. It took me an evening to sit down with trial and error to figure out how to play the games. I would not purchase it again. I would not recommend it to friends, in fact I would suggest against it if they have girls.

"needs work...", The content is just OK, and the dragging and dropping in some activities was not working. Also, the instructions for a couple of the activities was not very clear. Also, repeats the same 'jokes' over and over. I expected more - I will likely return it.
