Customer Reviews of Putt-Putt Joins the Circus/Putt-Putt Saves The Zoo (2 pack)

excellent software duo for your little game player
If your child has played beginning software like JumpStart and Reader Rabbit, and is ready to move on to more advanced gameplay, Humongous Entertainment's Putt-Putt series (and Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam, as well) are an excellent choice. These titles take the cognitive tasks up a notch as children must accumulate specific items, navigate a number of locations, and use their problem-solving skills to achieve larger goals. Along the way, kind and gentle Putt-Putt and his dog Pep will meet a number of friendly characters and play games as they complete the larger tasks.

In Putt-Putt Joins the Circus, the overarching goal is to earn a ticket to the show. this is achieved by helping various circus performers prepare. You must get a nose for the clown, help the organ arrange her pipes, get a power drink to the strong-van, find a new tent for the fleas, etc. In Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo, you must reunite baby animals with their parents and, along the way, build a bridge, play games, etc. These games are fun and step up the skills and thinking required for children to complete, yet they are comprehensible to youngsters and easy to use. If you leave the game, your progress is recorded without having to save the game.

There are quite a few locations and objects, though, so your child will probably benefit from your initial involvement. Eventually they will be able to play on their own, and the game is enjoyable enough that they will probably want to play it more than once. The characters are lovable and there is a lot of humor here.

These are two of the best titles in a great series for gamers age 3-8. Putt-Putt Enters the Race is also excellent. Running on a Mac we have had no problems -- easy installation and stable running.
