Software Reviews of The Clue Finders
Customer Review: Educational But Not Much Fun
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this game as a Christmas present for my 12 year old granddaughter. She learned to use the computer playing Reader Rabbit games starting at the age of 4. I always liked buying her games by Reader Rabbit because they were not only a lot of fun for her, but also very educational. When she started 1st grade she was a head of her class and I can not help but think it was because of all the Reader Rabbit games she had always played.
All that said, she did not seem to enjoy this game very much. The game was still educational like all her other games, but it did not seem to be as much fun for her. Even though this game was suppose to be for children 8-12, it seemed very hard on some levels--too hard even for me with a college education. A game for children should be challenging, but at the same time it should not be so hard that it becomes frustrating--and I think this is one of the reasons she did not particularly like this game--too frustrating to her. She played this game for about an hour and then never played it again as far as I know.
I gave this game a 3 because it is an educational game but not very fun for my granddaughter and did not hold her interest for long.
Description of The Clue Finders
You'll have to uncover the planet's secrets and collect useful clues to unlock a great mystery! The ClueFinders are transported across the galaxy to rescue a dying planet from the grasp of the sorceress Malicia.Another curriculum-based adventure from the makers of the Reader Rabbit series, this ClueFinders mission focuses on grammar, vocabulary building, and logic skills to improve reading-comprehension abilities. With nine different learning areas and friendly characters to help solve mysteries, kids may enjoy the game format so much that even those frustrated with reading in class will have fun.
The story line on the first disc revolves around a search for a missing amulet--each area supplies clues to aid in this search, as well as problem-solving missions that must be completed before finding both halves of the amulet. Like all programs in this series, it uses A.D.A.P.T technology, which assesses your child's abilities and then automatically adjusts when necessary, providing learning tips as needed and tracking progress.
On the second disc are printable, personalized workbooks and reward certificates, as well as a master progress checker that allows parents in-depth monitoring of a student's progress. An online database of educational tools provides a terrific additional resource for you to help your child develop a lifelong love for reading. Whether he or she is already a great reader or needs extra tutoring, this program can provide any late-elementary student with valuable new skills and hours of enjoyment. --Jill Lightner
