1 out of 5 stars Money grubbing and needs an internet connection   February 28, 2010
J. House
I find it very bothersome that you can only use this on an internet enabled computer. I liked having the system the kids used safe from online predators. But Jumpstart reequires it and also then wants you to pay to continue...

1 star is too much!



1 out of 5 stars Scam!   February 26, 2010
J. Livingston (MN USA)
I have always been a fan of the jumpstart games, my older kids played them all the time. My younger daughter received the Jumpstart World for Preschool and loved it. As she grew older, we decided to purchase a more challenging program for her. She played this for two weeks, and now the only thing the characters tell her within the world is that she has to go online and get a subscription. My child was heartbroken. I refuse to spend more money monthly to have my child play a game which we purchased. I tried to contact jumpstart and knowledge adventure only to received voicemails, and also no reponse to emails.


1 out of 5 stars A very misleading product!   February 6, 2010
L. Collins (Kansas City, KS USA)
This is an incomplete game unless you want to sign up for a monthly membership fee. There is nothing on the packaging to clue you in to this fact. My daughter loved the game but was highly disappointed when suddenly, after earning her second badge, she was referred to the robot character and told to join [...] to continue her adventure. I may as well have downloaded a demo game for all the use we got from this one. I will never trust another Jumpstart product after this!


5 out of 5 stars Wonderfully engaging software   February 5, 2010
Excellent learning software. I don't understand the bad reviews. It is multi-dimensional and engaging! My 5 year old enjoys it immensely as it provides a different learning experience every day and adds more dimension as you go through the units.
Highly recommended!



2 out of 5 stars Not as good as the old version...   November 18, 2009
Avid Dad (Burlingame, CA)
My daughter is 6 years old in 1st grade and loves all of the Jumpstart software. This one is no different. She enjoys it and looks forward to playing the games. This one has more of a video game feel which is nice, but she is still learning how to move around in the 3D environment and it has been a little harder for her. I enjoy watching her learn and I don't mind that you have to register the game when you install or that you need an internet connection.

But the game is VERY short. It took my daughter 2 hours to beat the 2 badges. This is so disappointing because the old version of Jumpstart Advanced games in the red boxes are just as good if not better better and much longer Jumpstart Advanced Kindergarten. I recommend that you buy the old version. To finish the additional badges you have to pay a subscription, which would be fine if the price for the software and subscription were more reasonable. My other issue with this is the constant video ads when you start/quit from the game are really tiresome.
