Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Kidnapped! is an interactive CD-ROM adventure inspired by the ever-popular Famous Five Books, and brings the classic tales to a whole new generation. Designed for 8 to 12 year olds, it follows two previous Famous Five stories (Treasure Island and Silver Tower) in being converted into a multimedia mystery adventure.

The Famous Five, namely Julian, Dick, Ann, George and Timmy the dog, are among perennial children's top-sellers with their tales of adventure, escapades and clever children outwitting evil baddies to win the day--it is almost inevitable, then, that they should make it to CD-ROM. The basic plot behind the story is that the Five go for a camping holiday on Kirrin Island where new friend Eddy manages to get himself kidnapped. The obvious thing to do is to rescue him, and that is what you have to make happen.

The CD-ROM is very nicely constructed with neat graphics and well presented characters. The point and click style interface is, importantly, easy to get to grips with. You get some practice in gathering materials for the trip, so that by the time Eddy goes missing you should have mastered the way everything works.

One of the engaging things about Kidnapped! is the way the story skips between animated sequences and situations in which you have to solve problems. This keeps everything running along at a fair pace, and really draws you into the story--you might find it difficult to break off for a rest. --Sandra Vogel

Manufacturer's Description
The Five are off on a camping adventure when their plans are dashed by the sudden disappearance of their new friend Eddy. With rumours of smugglers, secret caves, a haunted inn, suspicious men in black, can you help the Five solve the mystery of Eddy's disappearance and find him before it's too late?

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice graphics, needs plenty of memory, 8 May 2001

By	Halina (France) - See all my reviews

The graphics for the scenery are great, but make sure you have plenty of swap space on your hard disk for windows to use as memory, otherwise the program grinds to a halt. The game took a while to get used to - we got so stuck for a while that we thought there might be a bug (this impression wasn't helped by a silly error early on where the guest room is labelled the lounge), but the children have now played this for hours and got really involved in solving the puzzles. These are often not at all obvious, even to adults (perhaps especially to adults?). There is a separate file of tips and some solutions. If your children like the books, they ought to enjoy the game, as the old-fashioned charm of the original is retained. This means that the girls find the food basket while the boys build the fire (and the children speak with impeccable English accents). The comment 'physics is not just for boys you know' particularly irritated this mother who thought that the attitudes behind such comments had vanished long ago. However, on balance, very good value for money. This game is obviously going to be a favourite for some time. Be aware that this is a game of riddles, not action, and probably not suitable for a child under 8, as patience, perseverence and some boy-scout/girl-guide style general knowledge are required.
