Software Reviews of JumpStart World 2nd GradeCustomer Review: Be prepared to spend a LOT more money Summary: 1 StarsThis product allows the child to only access a very small percentage of what displays in the game as being available. For about 80% of it, when they click to do that part of the game, it gives them a message that their parents need to become members for them to have access to the additional games. Membership is $7.99 per month or $149 one time fee! I don't recommend this at all, because I think it is bait and switch. My daughter is extremely upset because we cannot buy the membership, so she can't play most of the game. She has really enjoyed the parts available to her, but the company should make it CLEAR on the packaging that a membership subscription for an additional fee is required in order to access most of the game.
