Nine activities provide a full curriculum of early-learning challenges: math (including fractions), music, geography, spelling, reading, and telling time. Disney's designers didn't forget the fun factor, either: kids build their vocabulary and spelling skills by helping Buzz shine his flashlight around the dark bedroom, looking for items that match the words and images on another toy's screen. And for a geography lesson, Buzz helps kids place continents on the globe.
The music area is a real standout. There's a full four-octave keyboard complete with reverb, and exploration yields click-and-drag cassettes that transform the board's sounds into anything from a rock concert to a circus tent. Musically inclined kids will have hours of fun in this spot alone.
This CD-ROM takes full advantage of the audio and visual possibilities computer-based learning can offer. Listen for background music composed specifically for certain activities, and watch for the shadows that the precisely rendered characters cast. (Ages 5 to 7) --Anne Erickson

Customer Reviews of Disney's Buzz Lightyear 1st Grade
Not a strong effort I bought this software for my son, he is 4, because the other kindergarden software I had bought was not interesting enough. Some of the games he was simply not old enough, that is not the fault of the software. The games he could do, he finished off very quickly and wanted more than the software provided. There was nothing tracking his progress from session to session so he had to keep doing the same thing over and over. When trying to play the Jessie game he kept accidentally clicking the icon to go back to the main screen. There is no confirmation dialog so he had to go back and repeat what he had just done. He was very frustrated by that. Maybe an older child would not face those problems.
For a younger child we found the Blues Clues 1-2-3 Activities to work much better. The games get incrimentally more challenging and there is a better variety.
I had to call customer support and get a patch to run this on my PC and could not install it at all on my Mac because I had to install it on the boot volume even though I had pleanty of room elsewhere. Over all, I was disappointed. We are all big Toy Story fans here.
Fun and educational
My in-laws bought this game for my 7 yrs. old son. The day he unwrapped and put it into PC, he was on the computer for nearly five hours. We couldn't get him downstairs for lunch. We could hear him laughing the whole time, with his 4 yrs. old brother. My younger one enjoyed play some of the games as well.
The software teachs spelling, math and writing with children's favour charactors. I'd strongly recommend it for boys 6 to 8.
