 Enjoyable - but not very educational August 10, 2008
S. Pearson
My daughter received this game when she was 2 and she has enjoyed it. She enjoys the characters and the games, but it doesn't hold her attention very long. Also, there is very minimal educational value to the majority of the games available. Okay for younger kids (2-3) but over 3 or 4 years old seem to loose interest even though it is rated for ages 3 to 5.
 It's a hit with my preschooler! May 6, 2008
Cam Soper (Smithville, MO USA)
I think the other reviews are a bit too critical. My 3-year-old son, an authority on all things Blue, picked up on this without too much difficulty. He loves all the Blue's Clues characters, so this appealed to him right away.
There was a small learning curve, as his other toddler software doesn't require him to do much clicking, yet this did. I only showed him a few time though, and he picked it right up.
The UI has some weaknesses, like the scrolling through the village. It's not obvious to the toddler at first, but I showed my son a few times and he caught right on.
Also, one of the other reviewers had a valid point in that there isn't enough feedback sometimes. Specifically, I'm thinking of the Grocery Store activity, when Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper would ask for a specific item, and my son gave them the wrong item. They didn't really do much to make it clear why that wasn't the right item.
Overall, though, it's very serviceable for the young Blue's Clues fan, but Mom or Dad (or Uncle or Grandma or whoever) might have to help them at first.
 Awful program December 5, 2007

This was an awful program. This was the first program I purchased for my children, and honestly I was wondering if they'd ever want to use the computer again.
There is very little to interact with here. Half the playtime is simply watching the blues clues people go about their business and talk to the screen like on the show. Except when a kid is sitting in front of the computer, they're not too happy about just watching a TV show. They want to DO something. In addition, the program itself has a pretty dreadful UI - it relies on the kid really knowing how computers generally work. For example, you can click on a house to enter it and play a game, but you can only click on a big house in the foreground, the background houses just blow smoke. Plus, you only see two houses at once, and have to put the mouse to the edge of the screen and click to see the next two houses. While this isn't a horrible rare feature in a video game, it's a little much for what could be a child's first computer program.

I bought this game for my almost 2.5 year old daughter. She has other preschool and pre-k games that she really enjoys and can use independently. I thought I would try this game because she likes the show Blue's Clues. WOW, were we ever disappointed. First of all, the narration on every section just goes on and on and on. You can't stop the narration and you can't play until it ends. Second the setup of the game town to walk through is pretty boring and unappealing to my daughter. Third,she was not very interested in any of the little classrooms. Fourth, there are only five different stations to visit which offers little variation. Fifth, every other game she has has some little thing happen when you complete a task correctly. There are barely any things on this game like that. For example in the grocery store salt and pepper tell you to get ingrediendts for a pie, so my daughter goes and collects all of them and what happens once she does. Nothing they just tell her to start collecting to make something else. She would of been so excited to have seen a little pie being made with all the ingredients. Without that, collecting the ingredients seemed rather pointless to her.
I can't really say how this game would appeal to older children, but my daughter literally hates it and she loves other jumpstart and reader rabbit preschool and pre-k games.
