Editor's review of JumpStart World 2nd Grade

• 4.0 stars

• "Be a summer-camp hero"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: JumpStart World 2nd Grade

In JumpStart World's interactive 3D "summer camp," kids choose an animal avatar and embark on "hero missions" to earn shields and gems--the in-game currency--for following instructions, doing good deeds, and mastering fun, educational games to improve verbal, logic, and coordination skills over the course of 12 units. A host of characters guide your avatar through the colorful world, which kids learn to maneuver in a thorough tutorial.

Thanks to appealing graphics, believable voices, and thoughtful programming, JumpStart World Second Grade is a gentle and engaging game capable of keeping a young child's attention. Older or more active kids may find the game slow, particularly the compulsory orientating tuition. We appreciate that parents can personalize the world with holidays and photos, and access progress reports from the Parent's Center. We would prefer a more sophisticated navigation menu that allows quick players to skip ahead.

  "exactly what the other guy said"

  by reku68 on February 9, 2008

  Pros: this game only provides about 2 weeks of very on and off game play leaving everything barely started as if it was just a free trial. The full game really costs like 80 dollars and it just isn't worth it. You can get the original jump start for much much less.

  "Lousy Install - Pay more to get the full game"

  by lowtech87501 on December 29, 2007

  Cons: Difficult install. Requires internet connection to install or play. Only supply's you with 2 modules, but conveniently you can purchase the other 10 which are dangled in front of your kid throughout the game. The base version of the game it geared to getting you to purchase more.
