1.0 out of 5 stars Discontinued Game
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2023
I bought the game, then found out that you need to set up an account through the website before you can even download it. The website JumpStart just gives error messages like it is no longer operational. So, I can't even get the game to download onto the laptop.
I felt scammed since it says on the Amazon page that product is "not discontinued" even though it actually is.
So, don't buy the game if you are buying it to actually play it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed

I purchased this product for my grandchildren. They have loved other jump start programs.
The website won't load, and without it loading the program is worthless. I would say discontinue selling this product, or fix the site. So disappointed with the product.

2.0 out of 5 stars False Advertising
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2008
I agree with the first reviewer. This is a great product, but I think it's a total sham to only allow users access to less than 20% of the product without paying more fees. After only a couple of hours of play, I'm forced to throw this product in the trash because I cannot justify paying a monthly fee to continue paying for a product I thought I bought in full in the first place. I never would have spent the $20 if I knew it was going to cost me extra to play the majority of the levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars My kids are hooked
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2010
I was surprised that only the first 2 games were unlocked (we started with the Legend of Grizzly McGuffin for 4-6 year olds). My daughter was almost 4 1/2 at the time. The initial game cost of [...] on Amazon -- we bought the 4 CD set that came with other games, but the Jumpstart World 3D games were by far the best. I bought a lifetime subscription for about [...] during a promotion. It includes up to 6 kids -- and you can download the rest of the 3D world games for free. My 2 1/2 year old is currently making her way through "My First Adventure". My 4 year old is playing "Trouble in Town". They LOVE these games -- and they are VERY educational. My 4 year old tested well enough to enter Kindergarten early, and she is also taking reading and math classes with the 1st graders. Of course, I cannot attribute this all to Jumpstart World -- she is an avid learner and she started reading when she was 3, but these games keep her attention and they push her to learn new skills -- and to solve problems quickly. I was having a hard time finding enough activities to challenger her, and these games solved my problems. She can go quickly through completing several units, or she can go slow and explore on other days. Some days she just spends an hour or two in the "Art Studio" creating art with photoshop like skills. Overall I did spent [...], which might be a chunk of change for some people -- but these are hands down the best games I found for my kids. They don't get bored. They beg to play the games. I actually use these educational games as rewards for them completing their chores or being "good girls" when we are out. There is another world of on-line Jumpstart games waiting for them when they are older, but for now, I don't let my kids play many on-line games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for larger Families
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2014
Though I understand the frustration mentioned by some, the details are posted regarding the need to purchase the membership. This is like a tester, you could say- and all 4 downloads are available for free w/ membership (available monthly, and even a lifetime- which we went ahead and purchased).

I also LOVE that Jumpstart has 6 spaces for kids, in which they have their own name and their own pet and all money/ bades/ awards are saved. This is very unique these days, something larger families struggle w/- being forced to purchase 2 full memberships OR share accounts. THANK YOU Jumpstart for thinking of larger families, and for producing a wonderful educational environment that is also fun..

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT GREAT GREAT VALUE!
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2010
Please don't listen to the reviews that only complain about the price tag and the "scam" of only getting 2 units. If those parents took the time to research the products that they are trusting to educate their kids then the "fine print" would have been right there for them to see. I always take a few minutes to read reviews and investigate products that I am going to use on my little guy. I have the monthly membership and we love it! My son started it few months ago and is learning so much. He is also have a great time. All these games are wonderful and less a month than what I spend on a couple of cups of Starbucks. I tell everyone about this product. I recommend it for any kid. Side note: Not sure if a life time subscription is worth it cause at the rate he is going his will finish all 4 games in about a year. Unless they add more I will be canceling in less than a year.
