Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Treasure Island is an interactive adventure inspired by the ever-popular Famous Five Books, and will bring the classic tales to a whole new generation.
Brothers Julian and Dick and their sister Ann are staying with their cousin George (Georgina really) and her faithful dog Timmy, and George's parents, Uncle Quentin and Aunt Fanny, at Kirrin Cottage. However, they are not alone: a mysterious, scheming professor has rented one of the rooms in the cottage. The children soon become suspicious of the professor, when they discover that he is interested in an old shipwreck which had sunk off Kirrin Island many years before. The scene is set, the story unfolds, then players must find the clues, disentangle the secrets, solve the puzzles and lead the Famous Five into a thrilling adventure involving caves, secret hiding places, rowing boats, castle ruins, dungeons and hidden treasure.
The installation process is comparatively simple, and is adequately explained in the accompanying information booklet. In the main it is easily followed, and should be read before commencing the game. However, in the section "helpful hints for trickier puzzles" in which five difficult puzzles are written in secret code, it would have been more helpful if the words had been more thoroughly checked before publication as several mistakes are made. It would also have been advantageous if reference had been made somewhere in the pamphlet to the help available via the start menu: clicking on Start then Programs then Famous Five then Helpful Hints unlocks this section, where varying degrees of help are offered.
The manufacturer's recommended age is 8-12--which seems accurate--but younger players may need assistance. Persistence is necessary, as the game is not easy, and it must be remembered that only the tip of the cursor is used, when combing things together or using things.
All in all, the game is intelligent, interactive and challenging, with superb graphics. The game really brings the characters of the Famous Five to life. Also available: Silver Tower and Kidnapped. --Susan Naylor

We have bought this game and it has been great fun to find the treasure both for our son and for myself.
We live in Denmark and it is a very good english exercise for our son (8years) to listen to the children talk and discuss the solution of the riddles.
It is a very good game for children to learn how to solve problems through logical thinking.

We stayed for an hour in the toy department with my daughter playing this game and we could not get her to leave the store.... we have promised her this game and i know we will have to buy the other titles !!!

The action is painfully slow,eg.it takes ages for each character to walk across a room. There are not enough clues in the game hints section and waiting for something to happen is boring. Spy Fox games are far more enjoyable.
