Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Bring the underwater adventures of Rainbow Fish to life on your PC with this wonderful interactive children's CD-ROM. With an assortment of charming characters and a huge variety of games, musical fun and activities children aged 3 to 7 years will be instantly spellbound.
Poor Rainbow Fish has had his scales stolen and only you can help. Solve the puzzles and complete the challenges to find the thieves and make him beautiful again. You'll meet friends along the way such as Head and Toe (the twin fish) and there are numerous games and activities to keep young minds entertained while teaching valuable skills such as recognition, problem solving, experimentation, logical thinking and creativity. A print shop lets you colour pictures on screen or print for later, and two difficulty levels make sure that younger children are able to join in the fun.
Easily installed, the simple interface ensures that navigation is a breeze (vital for younger PC users) and the help menu is available at all times. Use of the mouse and cursor will help develop computer skills and hand-eye coordination, and the print applications available will provide additional PC skills. With the educational benefits you would expect from Dorling Kindersley, Rainbow Fish will surely become a child's favourite. --Amber Harbour
Manufacturer's Description
Introduce children aged 3 to 7 to the most beautiful fish in the ocean
One stormy night while Rainbow Fish slept on the ocean floor, his beautiful, sparkling scales were stolen by three cunning crabs. Now Rainbow Fish needs help to get them back...
Children can join Rainbow Fish and his adorable friends in this underwater adventure. By completing a series of games and challenges, children will gradually piece together all the information they need to lead them to the crabs and the stolen scales. Every shape they match correctly, every melody they recognise and every action game they successfully complete will take them a little bit closer to finding the scales and making Rainbow Fish beautiful again.

The animation and music are much better than you would normally expect from a children's game, which makes it very pleasing to play.
However, calling it an interactive book is stretching it a bit. I thought it would be like the Living Books series, which my daughter loves, but it is really much more like a game.
There are no written words on the screen, which makes it less than straightforward for the accompanying adult to work out what to do. Progressing the game relies on randomly clicking the different fish until you get the right one (the game is quite rigid in what it wants you to do) and then listening. Presumably this is so that the child can play the game without having to be able to read, but the music sometimes drowns out the instructions, so then it's down to mum to work out from the objects on the screen what the task is. The child has to be supervised/helped to play it... which some people might say is not a bad thing! But my 4 year old can play all of the other games she has aimed at her age group by herself.
On a personal level, she particularly likes the drawing application you usually get somewhere on these packages, but the one provided by Rainbow Fish is surprisingly lame!
So, yeah, an amazing quality of graphics and overall an enjoyable experience, but frustrating.

We have owned this game for about 2 years and have still never completed it, even having sat for hours at a time. The graphics are beautiful but the game play is very difficult in that its not clear where you should be going first or what activity you need to do. A lovely story but not well represented in this game.

While the animation in this 'interactive story' is very pretty, the play is infuriatingly frustrating. The challenges are not much fun and the fish that nod or shake their heads to confirm actions are infuriating!

The game diverts very slightly from the books, but is great all the same. Lovely soothing music and a gentle pace make it perfect for young kids. Read more
