Disney Learning Toddler - 2 stars (Okay as games go) - This game is ok
Disney Learning Toddler review:2 stars (Okay as games go) - This game is okay as games go. It is a little advanced for my 3yo to play alone. We also had lots of trouble installing it. I finally learned that with these types of programs on XP I have to just run the play.exe file. There is not a lot of variety in the activities, but the pictures are cute, and My 3yo can answer most of the activities and we can play the game together until she learns better mouse skills.2 stars (It does work with XP) - But I was not impressed at all and my 2 1/2 year old son was not interested.2 stars (disappointing) - We bought this mostly because our 15 month old has Jumpstart Toddler and we (parents) are sick of the same music over and over again (though she loves Jumpstart Toddler!)
Unfortunately, this (Disney) is a major disappointment. Issues we have/had include:
1) CD required in drive to play game. Who in their right mind thinks it's a good idea to require the CD for toddlers??? My daughter had the CD popped out 4 times just the first time trying this program. (and crashed the system 3 of those times) I mucked with the registry and .ini files but was unable to get it to load without requiring the CD.
2) toddler needs good mouse skills. Most everything is mouse driven, and while some keyboard strokes did something, navigating required the mouse.
3) large delays loading games, breaks in voices. Since everything comes from the CD, there are large breaks in the game while loading animations, including breaks in voice over in the middle of sentences. Very choppy. (PII-300, plenty fast for other games - and old enough that I don't mind the toddler playing with it)
4) no immediate reaction to keystrokes/clicks some times. When the animation sequences are going on, no keystrokes or mouse clicks will do anything. My daughter rapidly lost interest because she'd hit keys and nothing would happen.
5) while my daughter is young for this game, she was unable to run the program on her own, requiring me to click and navigate. She bored of this very quickly.
On the positive side, she did enjoy a couple of the animated sequences - watching. But I want something for her to participate with, not watch.
In all, very disappointing.
