Average Rating:
Rating: - Very Flawed, Not Recommended At Any Price
This software very flawed - - ran into same problems as other reviewer: Sesame Street did not Load at all, Lego very buggy, no clear exits out of Dr Seuss. Clearly at least 10 year old titles which are not compatible with current XP system. Surprised that this is even put into the market for sale. Simple advice, do not even think about buying.
Rating: - What an over rated piece of software
This is one of the worst pieces of software I have purchased so far for my preschoolers. The Sesame Street CD has 20 pages! of credits that you MUST watch just to exit the program. Believe me, I tried every exit button I could think of to bypass them. What is with that? Just exit the program already. It is worse than a video, at least you can turn that off. The Dr Seuss CD has only 1 'game' and it is just the Dr Seuss Alphabet book on the computer screen. Nothing new there for my kids and I would never call it a game. Granted, I have only gone through these two so far, but if they are any indication, I will be taking this sucker back tomorrow.
Rating: - If they work on your computer, these are pretty fun.
I can sometimes get the Dr. Seuss ABC CD to run on my computer running windows XP, but the others seem to stall. All these cd's were released in the mid 90's, so I imagine they were made for Windows 95.
That said, my 15 month old son LOVES to sit on my lap and watch the ABC's, and he enjoys the others, particulaly the Pooh one, but I can't always get them to go without a great deal of delay and frustration.
If you have an old computer sitting in the garage, dig it out and put these on it and set it up in your kids room. That's what I'm going to do this weekend!
Rating: - Buyer Beware!!!
In Sesame Street Toddler, the sound will not function after the opening credits. The packaging states that it is compatible with Win2000 SP4, yet the FAQ on the distributor site says that this is a known problem with Win2000 SP4. Without sound the software is useless.
I haven't tried the other software in this package, perhaps one of the others will make it worth the price. Certainly this CD title is a coaster.
