Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Really Fun
My daughter(7) and I had alot of fun playing this game. Teaches thinking and logic, but in a fun way with great graphics!



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - hard to get to work
This is a very fun game, my kids love it. However, it took hours of research and trial and error to get it to partially work on my computer. Any newer computer, with newer color qualities will not work easily. You can eventually turn enough stuff off that it works, but then the sound is difficult to understand. Then when you are done playing, you have to go back into your system and turn things on again.

I just purchased this game last week and it has taken me until today to figure out how to make it run on my Windows XP computer. I think I have a solution for some of you. 1st go into the systray and close all unnecessary programs that are running in the background (especially the virus software). Then click on the start button and scroll down until you find the Mountain Rescue program then right click on the actual icon and scroll down to Properties. Click on the Compatability tab and then check the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for: click on the tab on the right side of the textbox to get the pull down menu and select Windows 98/Windows Me then click OK. Your program should now run. Hope this works for you.

We ordered this version because the first Zoombinis Logical Journey wouldn't work on our new operating system, MS Media. The kids missed playing the game. The kids and I found the first Journey had more levels of difficulty, thus more challenging. But the game still emphasizes logical thinking skills necessary for math. It was nice seeing and creating the Zoonbinis again.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I think it's a great game!
I like this game a lot. I haven't played it myself, but I've watched my 8-year old brother play it for a while. I like the puzzles and sort of like how it gets harder after you complete each section a certain number of times. One of the things I didn't really like was how long it is. I mean, come on! You have to rescue 500+ Zoombinis and the most you can save at a time is 16! Another thing that I noticed was that some of the puzzles take a LOT of patience.There's one game where you have to give trolls the food they want by listening to the clues they give you. On the beginning level it was fine, but by the intermidiate level he didn't have as much patience for all the things and ended up guessing randomly. Still, I think this is DEFINITELY a good game. I would reccomend it. Also there's several other great Zoombinis games that are also fun.
