Wish i had this when i was a kid!:
Jumpstart World is one of those games for kids that make me remember back to my childhood. I'm a big videogame player and growing up i recall playing learning games in school like Math Blaster, or Oregon Trail. I got the chance to demo JumpStart World and wow, i'm just blown away. Educational games for kids have come such a long way from when i was in school playing them. Theres just so much content for kids to tackle, math, spelling, arts and crafts, owning pets, and just exploring the world. I think... more info
The best educational game.:
I can not say enough wonderful things about jumpstart. I home schooled my kids for kindergarten so I bought them this to help out and make learning fun. They LOVE it!
They don't even know they are learning. It is fabulous. If you have dial up you will need to get the off line version which works just as well! My daughters look forward to getting their super gem and earning those keys. It's a big event in our household. I would recommend this to anyone. My girls are now in first grade and still come... more info
Waste of time:
My 5 yo daughter and I are both dissapointed. We've tried installing this game on 4 different computers, and even had our neighbors try, and it just keeps shutting down. I'm surprised a product like this came from Jump Start.
DIRTY! and caused a huge fight! DONT BUY!:
The box makes the game sound like you have unlimited access and that is partially true. You have access for only the first two lessons! True your child can continually play the same mundane games over and over, but all messages to your child are to keep going. My daughter was heartbroken when I told her that I was not going to keep paying a monthly fee.
You are basically paying a premium price for a TRIAL. It's dirty and I will not buy anymore Jumpstart games.
Buyer beware.
