I Spy Fantasy review:5 stars (The Best I Spy Computer Game) - I have played almost all of the I Spy computer games with my 3-year-old son (with the exception of I Spy: Spooky Mansion) and I Spy: Fantasy is the best one, in my opinion. While all the games have puzzles of comparable quality, this one has the best graphics and overall gameplay.
I Spy: Fantasy features several adventures that you can play (underwater, moonbase, dragon adventure). The length of each adventure is just right, unlike the one big adventure in I Spy: Treasure Hunt, which I felt was too long. After you solve all the riddles, you have to go back and perform a few tasks to solve the overall mission. These extra tasks delay gratification, but not for too long: they are easy and increase the feeling of accomplishment that comes with completing the adventure.
If you're new to the series, I Spy: Fantasy is a great first one to try. My son started playing these games with me when he was two-and-a-half years old. They have been a great way for him to learn new words and to develop his visual-observation skills. Sometimes he finds the objects by himself; other times I tell him where to look or explain to him the word that goes with a particular word. He points to the object and he clicks the left button on my laptop.
For 2-4 year olds, I also recommend I Spy Junior: Puppet Playhouse, probably my second favorite in the series. The objects in Puppet Playhouse are easier for a preschooler to find, and the game is obviously geared a bit more for that age range, though the general gameplay is basically the same.5 stars (Great Game) - Now days when kids have so many toys and most of them become junk next day, this is something definetely woth buying. It's a true brain builder and can keep your child involved, teaching patience and concentration. A great choice.3 stars (I Spy Fantasy) - I love I spies......I am currently waiting for I spy Christmas on cd. The I Spy was not as challanging as the last two I purchased, however entertaining. Even though I am an adult, I love playing them. The person who creates them is a genius at color and discriptive detail. I wouldn't rate this as intresting as the other.
