Amazon.com Review
Thomas and his friends are getting ready for a festival. They have to prepare the rides, sort the goods coming in for the event, and even catch up with some runaway cows before the festival can take place. What's more, they can't move a piston until they're cleaned up in the engine shop. Thomas & Friends: The Great Festival Adventure offers a series of games to computer users as young as 2 years old. As Thomas, Harold, and the other trains and tractors prepare for the festival, they enlist the players' aid to do everything from keeping track of the number of passengers who can fit in a passenger car to conducting the festival band. Early sorting, color matching, and shape-recognition skills are given a workout in the process. The game also seeks to keep its young target audience engaged by including long animated sequences of Thomas going about his business and interacting with his various friends as he does. This program gives an excellent introduction to educational computer gaming for kids and parents alike. With bright, simple graphics and easy-to-run activities, it is both simple to use and varied enough to maintain player interest. Thomas fans will be delighted with the opportunity to polish up and oil the various locomotives, and the animations will provoke laughter and delight among train-loving kids. The end result is a package that will please early learners immensely. (Ages 2 to 6) --Alyx Dellamonica

 Engaging computer game for Thomas fans March 26, 2007

My son loves this game. One part of the adventure is to help Cranky the Crain match colors and shapes.

I work with autistic children and thus far this game has been worth its weight in gold. It's simple enough for the younger children to operate with a bit of demonstration and for a couple of my kids is the only thing I can motivate them with.
 A good game for little Thomas fans November 12, 2005

My son started playing this game when he was about 3 years old and just loves it. He's almost four and he's still playing with it. He's now at the point where he doesn't even need help and manage to play on his own.

Santa brought this game to my 3 year old and let me tell you it sucked. I couldnt get it to work on any of the three computers I have (one of which runs Win 98). He stills cries almost daily to play the game and it has been over two months. I will not buy from Atari again it is not worth the nightmare of watching my Thomas fanatic son cry.

My son's had this game a while (I'm assuming it's the Hasbro Interactive branded game) and recently we upgraded his PC to XP.Of course the game didn't work, but by selecting Properties on the game icon you can move to a Compatibility tab and run the game in 98/ME mode - Works fine like that.
Ryan's 7 now and the game is simple, but he still enjoys it from time to time, for its attractive graphics and Ringo's familiar naration. I'd recommend this to anyone with a youngster interested in Thomas. Before we had this Ryan never went near the PC, now he's computer literate above his age (not entirely due to this game, but it piqued his interest).
