Fun, Entertaining, and Educational
My 3yo loves her clickstart computer and this is one of her favorite games. When you enter the game's menu you have the choice between 3 characters. Then you have to choose between 3 locations: Andy's house, the street, or the pizza place. All the locations are the same thing with different scenery. A number will be displayed at the top of the screen and, using arrow keys, the player will have to touch that number...which will release "aliens". Then the player has to "collect" those aliens. If the player runs into a wrong number then the game will say something like "that is the number 7, you are looking for the number 5" (this is in level 1). So the player learns numbers.
This game is great because the player can jump on furniture and use special tools (paperclip, bouncy box, etc) to get launched into the air. Plus it teaches numbers and collecting the aliens is fun.
It is a disappointment because all the other game cartridges offer 3 different games...this one offers the same game with choice of 3 characters and 3 different scenes.
Should you buy it...yes. For the simple fact that kids love it and it is educational. But could the writers have done a better job with the game selection...absolutely.
Not brilliant, but she likes it
Perhaps it's that the rest of us--dad, mom, and fourteen-year-old brother--have had years of playing video games with better complexity and far better graphics, but I'm not wowed by any of the Clickstart games. Yes, I know, they're for young children, but even the web-based games for toddlers have better graphics and are sometimes more user-friendly.
That said, my three-year-old does like the Clickstart, and is able to navigate it without help. The Toy Story game isn't all that impressive, for the money, but that's a complaint I have about Clickstart cartridges in general. She enjoys being able to manipulate the familiar characters, and is building some directional skills. Except for the opening sequence with Zurg, however, the characters bring little of the flavor of the movie to the play of the game, and they could easily be any other sprite.
If they like Toy Story they will love this game
Our daughter, 3, absolutely loves this game. She got it for Christmas about two months before her 3rd birthday and had no trouble using it. We purchased the system because there was a Toy Story Game available since it is her favorite Disney movie. Some of the other reviews talk about the simplistic graphics, but I actually think that is a good thing for the younger kids. It is a simple game that is easy for toddlers to grasp. A great introduction to video games and has educational value as well.
