Blue's Clues Treasure Hunt - PC

Description

desertcart.com Blue and her pal Steve go looking for treasure, while helping your child learn logic and problem-solving skills. Review Steve, Blue and the gang are off on a fun-filled treasure hunt. Children can help look for the treasure by exploring the house, school and park, looking for clues that will lead them ultimately to the Land of Great Discovery. Blue is adorable, as usual, and the program's graphics and animation rivals that of the television show. As children travel about, they'll come across activities that involve helping the characters. For instance, they'll recycle trash, which is a sorting game and gather fall leaves according to color. The adventure has similarities to other Humongous products in that items are collected along the way that may prove useful later on. For example, kids have to obtain two Blue dollars in one part of the game in order to pay the admission price that gets them into another part of the program. In general, this is a likable CD. Some kids were turned off by the excessive talking at the beginning as too many instructions are given. The lengthy transitions between screens are also annoying, contributing to kids' waning interest. Still, for true Blue fans, this program will bring the Blue's Clues experience to the computer screen. Teaches: logic, memory Age Range: 3, 4, 5, 6 Copyright © 2000 Children's Software Revue -- From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"To find their way to The Land of Great Discovery, kids must conquer three different virtual treasure hunts by uncovering scrolls, objects and, of course, Blue's paw-printed clues.

(Don Oldenburg, Parents' Choice®, 2000) -- From Parents' Choice® Review: Fun for all ages!!! - I bought this game for my 4 year old sister for Christmas this year. She has been an avid fan of Blue's Clues since she was 2, and I decided to buy this game for her. Since she was upset over the gameplay in Blue's Birthday Adventure , she had more fun with this game and I have enjoyed playing it with her. I'd suggest this title to any Blue's Clues fan!!!! Review: Blue's Clue Treasure Hunt - I am tween writing this review under an adult's account. I frequently help my toddler brother play PC games such as this one. This one is difficult even for me! Toddler still enjoys it, however I seldom allow him to play it because when we do we both end up frustrated.
