Rating: - Super cute and FUN!!!
My 3 yr old loves to play this game! I love how the case changes every time she plays it. It gives her more like 3 games instead of just one! Definitely worth it!!!
Rating: - Best Computer Game
This is a superb beginning computer game for ages 4 to 8. Very little reading is involved, but a lot of thinking (outside the box!), problem-solving and decision-making. Freddi is trying to locate the missing conch shell and figure out who stole it. Along the way he has many opportunities to gather clues and helpful items to assist him in his search. There are a variety of fun games and challenges, and lots of interesting characters to meet. I highly recommend this and the other Freddi Fish games as well!!
Rating: - A perfect game for kids of 4-5 year old
My son is 4 years old and a half. He already knows to use PC. It is the first game I bought for him, and the first game in my entire family. He longs for a game for himself rather than the game in local library he can play for a couple of minutes.
He could not finish the game for the first time, for he was too tired after a long period of time playing it. It took me 2 hours or so to finish the game the first time. After learning from me, my son started to win the game. He stucked at the sub-game required to get the mirror, and the sub-game to get the golden pipe from the music room. I think this game in the music room is the most difficult to him. By now, I am not sure whether he fully understands how to count the steps to take the golden pipe or not. When the game randomly alters the path anywhere rather than the music room, it takes him 7 minutes to win. He is the one who found out the method of pressing the Escape-key to cut short the narator's time (Freddi herself, or other characters in the game). Every time I come back home from work, he called me and show me how fast he won the game. I do not know how many paths the game has, but my son figured all out by himself. I keeps wondering whether I have been such smart when I was at his age? At that time, I was in Vietnam at the end of the World War II, a farm in countryside with ducks, chickens, and hogs.
The game has few paths that lead to different alternatives, and that makes the game last longer than just a single path. When a kid knows all of a game, the game is no longer valuable. It other words, it is expired. This game worths 2 weeks, and sometimes from now, my son comes back to it when he is tired of the other games.
This game requires thinking, rather than just pressing the keys fast or at the right moment. It helps my son to watch out for alternatives in the new horizon, and be ready for new solutions. It also helps my son to do well the routine (when a path is known, the solution becomes routine) quickly. I think the game in the music room is still valuable, for it offers the concept of negative values. When a kid sees a number without a minus sign, he should learn a concept of positive value. Otherwise, when he sees a number with a minus sign, he should be counting the step backward. Whether it is too early to offer the negative concept to a 4-5 years old kid is still an open question. That is the reason I vote maximum grade to this game.
Rating: - Best CD Series for ages 3.5-7
I have 3 kids and this set (Freddy Fish 1-5) has been the most popular of all of the CD-ROMs we own and is still going strong after 3 years. These are absolutely awesome. This is an interesting and interactive game in which kids do "detective" work and it also features a few basic arcade-type games during the search.
Get it, your little ones will LOVE it!
Rating: - Are we the only parents that get stuck on this game?
As embarrassing as it is to admit this, my husband and I are stumped. I went through this game once with my 3-year-old son and made it to the end. The next time my husband played it with him and told me later that he got stuck. I laughed to myself, thinking how smart my husband is, yet can't even play a kid's game. Well, I played it today with my son and, let me tell you, I had to quit without coming near to resolving this. How can an otherwise 36-year-old woman of average intelligence, and a 43-year-old man of slightly above average intelligence not figure this out? It's aimed at kids THREE to eight! We've clicked on everything possible, but we aren't getting anywhere! It is a fun game, but I can't see a three-year-old figuring it all out (which is why it gets 4 stars as opposed to 5), or a 36-year-old mother of a 3-year-old. I'm going to play it again and see if I can't do it this time. Obviously we are the only adults with this problem, as no one else wrote anything of the sort in their reviews.
If someone could send me a cheat-sheet of sorts, we'd be highly grateful (albeit humiliated as well).
I'll be up tonight, all night, trying to crack the case of the stolen conch shell. Better luck to the rest of you. Curse you, Humongous Entertainment!
