Product Description
From Children's Software Revue®
The graphics are terrific in this lighthearted program in which kids guide Alex, a Playmobil character, through his family's farm. Instead of the traditional mouse, kids use keyboard controls like the space bar, arrow keys and tab key to select and play the activities. Younger children won't be able to do this without the color keyboard stickers that come with the program, however, and even adults had trouble remembering the key sequences.
The graphics are terrific in this lighthearted program in which kids guide Alex, a Playmobil character, through his family's farm. Instead of the traditional mouse, kids use keyboard controls like the space bar, arrow keys and tab key to select and play the activities. Younger children won't be able to do this without the color keyboard stickers that come with the program, however, and even adults had trouble remembering the key sequences.
The introductions and instructions that come before each activity are extremely lengthy, and we couldn't find a way to interrupt them. If your kids have the patience to listen, however, they'll eventually discover many three-level activities. At the Pond, children will love helping the baby ducks find their mother. They'll also enjoy shooing crows in the hay maze and throwing a ball for Alex' dog Oscar.
While children and adults will both appreciate the wonderfully rendered farm and the realism of the engaging characters, they may find themselves stumped by some activities. We had trouble finding a way out of the pond, for instance. We were glad to see direct access to the farm's locations in the Big Farming Book, but we couldn't always find all of the activities on each page.
Even with its flaws, the program's sheer number of activities-25- plus the high quality graphics and the low price tag make it worth considering. Just be prepared to lend a hand if your child gets stuck. Also note that you'll need a high-end system with a 3D graphics accelerator card.
