4.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Fluff

The fundamentals disk is great the rest of it is just junk. The pets CD is a demo with no educational value at all. The music and art CD are lack luster and devoid of value. Might as well let your kids play Nintendo. I would recommend this program just for the fundamentals CD it tricks the little darlings into practicing there skills by making it fun. Learning through play. YeaH! I would just chuck the other three disks in the trash.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the Hassle

Quite a let down. My kids 4 and 6 love the computer and educational games.

Loaded fundamentals and they played for about an hour, asked for the art disk.

Once it was loaded, nothing else would work. The quicktime was loaded with the Fundamentals disk, however, when Art was loaded, it "hiccuped" during the load and never loaded Quick time correctly. Then it wanted to register "my quicktime" and wanted a registration code, there is none to be found anyplace in this box set even thought it says quicktime included with install.

I guess for my money (and no $20 is not that big a deal or price for a kids game) it was still a waste.

Recommend you try ANYTHING ELSE before this one. I do not have 6 hours to waste attempting to get a simple kids program to load on a highly functioning computer system.

Some reviews commented on background sound etc being to loud, I did not find that to be a problem, my problem related to making the system work at all.

I ordered this product because it showed on the decription that CD 4 Pet Playground was part of the 4 Disc set. I had been looking for that game for over a month and was excited to find it. OOPS! That is NOT the 4th CD. AMAZON has incorrectly described the product and my money was wasted on a product that did NOT contain what was advertised. SHAME ON AMAZON!!

We recently purchased this software for my son. He is in 1st grade and LOVES to play educational games on his computer. Unfortunately this has been a let down for both of us. The background music is way too loud and interferes with the voice that gives the directions for each game. It is very difficult to understand what they are trying to tell my son to do. Also there has been at least one game (maybe more) where he would do what they were telling him, but they still said it was wrong. How frustrating!

So far he still enjoys playing this game, and hasn't given up on it yet. There are some good areas and I think he will get some benefit, but there is definitely some improvement needed!!

Jumpstart Kindergarten was not like this at all! I really can't recommend this software, especially at this price!

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT Mac compatible
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2007
Although this product says that you can use it on Mac OSX, it apparently does not work if you have above system 10.2.3. Since as of May 2007, almost no one would be running 10.2.3, this makes it effectively not Mac compatible.

We bought this product for our son, and he is very disappointed. I contacted Knowledge Adventure support, and they informed me that if we could only use it above system 10.2.3 if we had Classic OS Support on the computer. In fact we do still have Classic on the computer our son uses, and it still doesn't work. The available documentation tells very little even about how to install the game. I have not heard back from Knowledge Adventure regarding my second or subsequent emails. If I do, I will change this review.

Until then, it gets one star.
