Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Max and the Magician is a richly creative title for three to seven year olds. At the beginning of the CD-ROM, to get you in the mood for the magic that follows, you are invited to click on a multi-coloured hat and immediately a rabbit jumps out. Offbeat and entertaining magical events spring up throughout the story as you click on objects like floating magic wands. Chuckling frogs appear at windows and mice pop out of drawers. There is even a shelf in Mervin's house for spells that went wrong.

Ignoring the circling bats, Max goes deep into the dark forest to find Mervin the magician. But something terrible has happened. He discovers that Mervin has been transformed into a toilet brush. Mervin (who can still talk) bounces around and explains angrily that it is all the work of a wicked witch. Your job is to help Max find all the bits of the magic formula--which are scattered around the house--to break the spell. To find them, you enter a world of interactive magic books and are given the chance to test out Mervin's impressive spell machine.

Occasionally it is difficult to know how to help Mervin and you find yourself stumbling around with your mouse button clicking on tables and drawers for spells to happen. However the fact that it is not always obvious where to go adds to the adventure. Gently illustrated and available in English, German, French or Spanish, Max and the Magician is likely to appeal to young budding wizards everywhere. --Justin Hunt

Manufacturer's Description

When Max arrives at the magician's house, he is shocked. His good friend Mervin has been changed into a toilet brush. Can Max help find the missing spell that will reverse the curse? Join Max and Mervin in an enchanted scavenger hunt, and get spellbound by magic wands, a spell machine and an amazing broom-flying game. Featuring the beautiful watercolours of German artist Barbara Landbeck.

My four-year-old zapped through this. She enjoyed finding all the bits of paper, but I don't think there was really enough for her to do once she'd clicked her way through everything possible. There was a little too much talk for my taste, but she enjoyed it. Decided to buy something with a little more in it.
