Customer Reviews of Blue's Treasure Hunt (Jewel Case)
Perfect for 3 year olds! To easy (and slow) for 5 year olds, but perfect for 2.5 to 4 year olds. This game would also work for kids who are first learning how to use the computer. At 3 they love the fact that Steve talks alot, and that the game moves at a much slower pace. The wonderful thing about the game is the complexity of the story, and how many levels there are. I think of all the games that my two boys have played this one still sits near the top.
I think age needs to be considered for this one...
The previous reviewer mentioned that the 5-year-old playing the game found it too slow and very disappointing in terms of being interactive and engaging. I think that this is a reasonable point to make but I think the game shouldn't be sold out based on this point alone. I have a 3-year-old who is really into the game, and I think that the age level makes a huge difference. She is very much into reading and into pointing out specific details so even if the game slows a bit while traveling from point to point there is always something there for her to find and comment on. She in particular enjoys how much there is to click on with every screen. I think if she were a couple years older this wouldn't be the game for her. Perhaps the age suggestion on the game (3-6) should be changed to apply mainly to preschool children. Blue's Clues could certainly offer (and probably does offer) games for the slightly more advanced school-age child.
A Disappointment
My 5 year old son loves to watch the Blue's Clues TV show, and we have the Blue's Clues Treasure Hunt movie. But the computer game leaves a lot to be desired. When you first start the game, Steve does a lot of talking - so much so that my son asked, "Is all we get to do is watch?". Finally we get started, but there is still too much waiting in the game - waiting for Steve to talk, or catch up. Also, when you are doing the activities, you don't know how long you have to do them to earn the clue. Finally you quit the activity in frustration, and there's the clue waiting for you. After this happened a couple of times, we realized we can do the activity as long (or as short) as you want, and still get the clue.
We enjoyed playing going on the treasure hunt, but at times we shut down the game because we were frustrated and didn't want to wait any more.
