Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Can We Fix It?. Of course we can, and with this BBC software package little builders will be better equipped than ever!. Featuring the chirpy Bob and his mechanical multitude of talented friends, this fun package is a mixture of educational encouragement and pure out-and-out fun.
Once loaded, you are invited to move the cursor around Wendy's office to select your tasks: hover over the phone, and it rings with a plumbing job; go near the fax, and a job comes in for Roley. Keep moving around, and you will find enough jobs to keep little fingers and minds busy for hours.
In "Hedgehog Rescue", the aim is firstly to help Lofty the Crane build a tunnel to save the scared hedgehogs from crossing the road. Children must match pipe shapes to tunnel shapes, and construct the route. The next, more difficult game, involves Wendy herding the hedgehogs into the tunnel--easier than it sounds, since one particularly persistent hedgehog seems unwilling to go.
In "Travis' Race Day", choose between Scoop or Dizzy to a head-to-head around an obstacle-strewn track. Guide your challenger by mouse or arrow keys--again, not as easy as it sounds, and a great developmental aid for hand-to-eye co-ordination.
"Can We Build It?" involves knocking down an unsafe bridge, then using colour recognition to match the bricks to rebuild it. Roley needs a hand with unruly tarmac in "Bubble Trouble", when you must guide him over the bubbles to even out the road. And in "Scary Spud", you must move Spud around the screen to scare off the crows. But the crowning glory is "Wendy's Birthday", where guests first decorate her cake then join in the fun line dancing. Also included on each game is "Where's Pilchard?", a hide-and-seek game for the shy, blue cat.
Accompanied throughout by Neil Morrisey's narration and the superb music from the TV show, (also now a CD single), this package builds on many elementary educational skills to make little builders into fully fledged Bobs. And while it is not that quick to load (missing plug-ins are provided, but it may take some time) it is well worth the wait.
Testers of around two years old found this package fun and evocative of their favourite TV character, though they did require constant supervision and most of the games were beyond mastering. This is a superb educational aid and lots of fun. (Suitable for ages 2 to 6).--Lucie Naylor
Manufacturer's Description
There’s plenty of opportunity to fix all kinds of things in Bob’s first interactive title, whether its rebuilding walls with Muck, knocking down a bridge with Lofty, or plumbing a house. There’s also a great racing game with Travis, Scoop and Dizzy and line dancing with Wendy. Bob even finds time to decorate a cake (with your help) for Wendy’s birthday. Great fun for builders of all ages.

Great fun!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bob the Builder Can We Fix It? (CD-ROM)
My son got this for his fourth birthday - now I can hardly get near the computer! Minimal supervision is required - all the instructions are spoken as well as written, with plenty of encouragement from Bob along the way. Most games have three difficulty levels and can be controlled from the keyboard or mouse. My son just plays for fun - but for slightly younger children the potential educational benefits are huge - from mouse control and colour recognition through to shape sorting and patterning - it's all here! And it's all packaged in such a way that they'd never realise they were learning!

Excellent and well thought out,
By Steve (Beverley, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bob the Builder Can We Fix It? (CD-ROM)
Games are great fun and are thoroughly enjoyed by our three year old. One of the best things is being able to play the games together with her - e.g. in Scary Spud she can get spud to blow the raspberry while her dad actually moves Spud round the field. Some games she can just about do on her own and some she is happy to just give directions as to what she wants to happen! The CD is a firm favourite and well worth the money!!

bob does it again!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bob the Builder Can We Fix It? (CD-ROM)
A super product for a young child. My two year old loves this interactive 'game'. Not for the lazy parent who expects their child to amuse themselves, adults are needed at all times to assist with the games. Great fun for all the family, highly recommended!!
