Summary: Portability
Comment: I bought this product for my six year old daughter and she loves it. I enjoy watching her work through the first unit. The software has excellent ways of challenging a child's intellectual abilities. The only issue I have it that the internet access is required to run the software. I wanted an application program that she could use on road trips. The interactive component is amazing; however, I would prefer if the application had the ability to run in stand-alone mode.

Summary: Jump Start World
Comment: I found the Jump Start World Kindergarten at SAMS Club a year ago. Since I am a homeschool mom, I figured it would be a good "game" for breaks and free time. Well, the kids, then 5 and 3, loved it and within a month I bought the additional units. Once my Kindergartener finished all the units I called to buy the 1st grade units and found the Jump Start World Club and we joined. I was able to download directly to the PC, no more disks to deal with. I received the pre-school (3-5), 1st Grade (5-7) and 2nd grade (6-8) all for one price. My now 4 year old who was taking her time through the Kindergarten program, finished the pre-school program in two months and had a new interest in the kindergarten program. My now 1st grader is more than half way through the 1st grade program and they play in their Worlds almost every day. My 1st grader tells regularly when we are working on schoolwork, "I did that in Jump Start World!" and Zips through her assignments. Now my sisters have gotten into the program for their kids. My whole family completely enjoys this product and I believe it is worth every dime I spent on it.

Summary: Good game IF you invest in all 12 "packs"
Comment: I bought this game as a compromise for my kindergartener and 2nd grader. For my kids, who don't have a play station or play a lot of computer games, this provides excellent, fun instruction on how to control an avatar and play a bunch of different types of games using both the keyboard and the mouse. It was hard for them at first because they kept getting lost in the Jumpstart "world," but now they have mastered it and have a lot of fun just visiting their favorite places. Most of the games themselves are pretty lame -- my kids only play them when they need to earn points to buy things, or at the end of a level to complete the required number of games to advance to the next level.
As a learning game, it takes awhile to ramp up to a challenging level. In fact, my kindergartener is in the 7th level and only now encountering academic challenges that are hard for her. For a first grader, I think I would recommend this only to reinforce things they already know and to strengthen computer skills. But, I give it 4 stars because despite the weaknesses that I see, it is a good wholesome game that my kids LOVE!
And while it annoys me that you have to pay an extra, hefty fee to get the full game, I think it is worth it. The kids blow through the first two levels, but the subsequent levels last much longer. My kids have been playing for more than 3 months and are only a little over halfway done!

Summary: problem not resolved for weeks. Customer support needs improvement!!
Comment: The games are good. My daugter who is 6 loves them. But after she finishes Unit 1, she keeps getting "here at jump start camp, we have a few more things to do before we start the next adventure, why don't you quit the game and start over?". We could not get rid of this no matter what we tried. Unit 2 never enables for us. Called their customer support, emailed them.......so far we were asked to send some files off our hard disk to them and no response after that........
We have been trying to get them to resolve this issue for weeks now.

Summary: Great software!
Comment: We've had good luck with Jumpstart learning products in the past, so it was a no brainer buying this, and we're very impressed with how far the graphics have come! My 6 and 5 year old have such a great time trying to earn gems to buy different things, as well as winning trophies and keys for completing tasks. They are in head to head competition over who can get through the levels first, and are learning many different skills along the way from reading to math and problem solving...not to mention familiarizing themselves with the computer. Jumpstart makes it fun by allowing the kids to decorate their own cabin, get their own pet, and place the artwork they create around on the many billboards throughout town. It's very interactive, keeps their interest, makes learning fun...overall an excellent product!
