Ill-thought-out and disappointing
This product advertises 8 activities. One of these is 'meet the characters', an 'activity' where you hover your mouse over the characters and a *written* description of them appears. Not much use for all but the most precocious three-year-old, and hardly an interesting activity even for a child who can read. Another is a colouring activity ... where you select a picture, print it off, and off goes the child to colour it in. Except they don't, because when a child wants a go on the computer, that's what they want, not colourin. Computer colouring is great for little ones who haven't the precision yet for proper colouring, so this misses the trick. The other activities are along the lines of pairs, jigsaws, etc - not very inspiring. The worst thing is that the navigation is inconsistent from game to game, and some of it depends entirely on words (ie the same shape button, but with different words) which doesn't allow a non-reading child to navigate independently.
Dora PC games are much better - made by Atari, who obviously know a lot about computer games, and obviously designed by someone who understands the abilities and interests of small children.
Limited options, following concept of other games.
Actual number of games is quite limited. Also bought a Fifi and Flowertots game and this contains exactly same games and setup, just with other characters.
