Jumpstart Gets NO STARS!
Jun 8 2010
By Melissa
- Published on Amazon.com
At first glance this game is great, entertaining and educational for the specified age group better yet its produced by a reputable company however after my having my son play the game I was very very disappointed. My son spent less than an hour to soar through the first of several worlds, when he completed level one the game instructed him to have a parent become a member on [...] for 7.99 a month to access the rest of the game. If the box indicated I needed the membership to play it, I'd not have bought it, I wasn't looking to spend well over a hundred dollars for a computer game for my four year old. I emailed the company and have received no response, I will not be purchasing from them any time soon, and I suggest no one else does either.

Head to head with Dora

I purchased Jump Start Preschool and Kinderkarten along with Dora the Explorer: Lost and Found Adventure. I loaded both programs, each on a seperate computer in my home office, and allowed my 7 year old and 3 year old to have unlimited access to both programs. The kids played with both programs, sometimes sharing and sometimes one each. After a half hour, the winner became clear. Dora was abandoned for the Jump Start program. Both the kids are sitting around the same computer sharing the Preschool and Kindergarten program. The 7 year old is showing the 3 year old how to handle the environment and they've been glued to it for over three hours now. I asked my 7 year old what's wrong with Dora and she said bluntly, "it's boring." She then screamed "I got a pet!" and turned back to Jump Start. The three year old is obviously following the 7 year old so I checked out Dora myself and quickly realised it's over-complicated and, yes, boring.
P.S. I signed up with the monthly $8 for the online expansion for Jump Start. Good work to the people at Jump Start!
Thanks,
Alenn

This game requires a constant broadband connection to use. There are not any games that can be accessed or played without a broadband internet connection. I understood that the internet connection was to access reports and receive additional games and membership to the jumpstart website. Not so.I would not have purchased this game had I known my three year old would have to connect to the internet in order to access the games. Luckily I purchased it while on sale. I will not purchase additional games from jumpstart because I do not want the ads or sales pitches my child has to endure to play this game.
