Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Based on the ever popular TV series, Bob the Builder: Castle Adventure sees Bob and friends take a trip to a medieval castle where they embark on a series of fun activities and games. Taking its theme from the Knights of Can a Lot feature-length film, it has you and your child guiding Bob, Lofty, Wendy, Spud and all your favourite characters through 10 activities. Starting at the Gatehouse, there are four castle sections. These offer maze games, moat games, castle wall games and dungeon games. There are also clips from the film included in the software. You get to hear the voices of Neil Morrissey, Richard Briers and Brenda Blethyn throughout.

The interface is child friendly, being colourful, clean and easy to follow. The software is developed in line with the National Curriculum Foundation Stage, with three different skill levels to cover a range of ages and abilities from three years upwards. To start the game you set up a player and have the opportunity to choose a shield. This enables you to have several players using the software without uncovering bonuses, or completing activities and therefore spoiling surprises for a particular child. The games themselves are straightforward, with clear instructions, but good fun. You can replay as many times as you like and when you have completed a task you earn a star. When all tasks are completed you unlock some additional activities. You can also print out a certificate for your child to say that they have helped Bob fix the castle. Nice job, Bob! --Heather Wilson

I've purchased many childrens games in the past and most are badly disguised, boring educational games that my kids can see right through. This one's different, it looks beautiful, the characters are really brought to life and the games themselves (I've still only played half of them) are really fun, enjoyable games, okay so they do have some educational element but they're fun and thats what kids want. Even I've been playing it for hours!
Buy it, its better than watching the videos!

My four year old was absolutely thrilled with this game. Living in Greece and my child not speaking English, I thought at first it might be difficult for my child to comprehend but from the start he had no difficulty experimenting after I explained what he had to do. After that he was on his way playing without my help. (Now he wants to learn english to play more games...)

I found this game very useful in training kids to use computers (mouse, keyboard etc) and thereby learn to maniupulate shapes, solve problems in the maize, explore in the dungeons all this in the fun filled colourful setting of the game. In all a great game for the age group specified.

Superb 13 Dec 2007
There are so many expensive poor quality offerings in the childrens games market, its refreshing to find a title that's as good as this one.
Our pre-school children love Bob's Castle Adventure.
The voices are familiar, the graphics are superb, navigation is very easy, and the range of activities is very generous... there must be close to 15 different games to play.
Strongly recommended for pre-school children.
