In Tigger's Honey Hunt, the mission is to guide Tigger through nine levels within the Hundred Acre Wood on a quest for honey pots. Pooh needs the honey pots in order to throw a party, which is a nice central premise: Tigger's task is to be helpful, not blow up the enemy. A secondary goal is collecting snapshots of Winnie the Pooh characters that float through the woods in order to build the pages of a photo album. As difficulty levels increase, the keyboard-controlled Tigger must avoid everything from angry bees to falling rocks to the dreaded Heffalumps and Woozles. If Tigger gets frightened three times, the game is interrupted, and Tigger backtracks to a checkpoint to regain his courage. Easier courses must be mastered before moving on to harder ones.
Inspired touches include spider-web trampolines, a richly illustrated book-like format for moving within the program, and a dialog transcript that appears at the bottom of the screen anytime Tigger interacts with one of the many characters along his path. It's a great way to sneak some reading practice into the game, especially with some of the words Tigger concocts.
The program's weak spots are the initially inexplicable Classic Mini Games. Kids can leave the main game behind and play Rabbit Says, Pooh Sticks, and Paper, Scissors, Stone. These games are designed for multiple players, which is why they're unwieldy: A single player must use X, D, V, and C on the keyboard to navigate her or his Pooh Stick as it drifts in a stream. Player number two must use number pad 4, 8, 6, and 5. And so forth. It's confusing enough for one player, as these keying sequences aren't explained within the game. Lining up four players along the keyboard would be an exercise in futility.
If you can avoid the Heffalumps and tolerate those clunky classic mini games, Tigger's Honey Hunt is an excellent romp through the woods. (Ages 5 and older) --Anne Erickson

Customer Reviews of Disney's Tigger's Honey Hunt
Loads of fun! I find it difficult, but my kindergarten son really enjoys it.
Adorable
I give this 4 stars because at times it is too hard for the suggested age group. Also, I had to reset my graphics accelerator according to Disney's Customer Support page which no child should be doing. I needed the hints to start level 4 and found the cave to get the "missing" honey pots. I liked the game enough to keep trying to find out why it wouldn't play and was not disappointed with the end results. Sadly, I am an adult learning to play computer games.
Frustrating
I bought Tigger's Honey Hunt for my five-year-old son. I was quite disappointed in the game. The main part of the game, the Honey Hunt, really can't be classified as an adventure game (at least at the level at which we have been able to play it). There is no reasoning and no learning going on here. You bounce Tigger around a landscape and catch floating honey pots. I'll admit, the landscape animation and the way Tigger bounces are pretty cool (thus the two star rating). But it is quite frustrating to get to the end of a round and have Owl tell you that you did not collect enough honey pots, even though you thought you got them all!
The Mini Games are simultaneously too hard and too easy. The interface to them requires that you consult the manual, which I think is asking a bit much of a five-year-old. (Left is the X key, Down is C, Enter is F, etc. !?!) The games are designed to accommodate multiple players using only a keyboard, but I don't think most people would use these as multi-player games anyway. Once you figure out which keys to use, the games are too simplistic to be interesting. And even using the correct keys, it sometimes seems that the game does not respond to your keystrokes when it should. And it seems to have no mouse interface!
The animation is cool, but overall, a big disappointment.
