 My kids DID like this game... Jul 17, 2010
JumpStart is a company my kids have been familiar with for quite some time. So when the Wii version came out, I had no hesitation in making that purchase. I have a five year old who found no trouble in working the controls for the Wii. My kids both love this game and will play it before a lot of their other favorites.
I thought it was well worth the price. They thought they were just playing a game and found later it was all about learning. Yet, they still played!
That being said, I do wish there was more variety in games...like JumpStart World online. Oh well, it still has its benefits! There are quite a few games and they are fun. It won't be long that they will add other titles, so please don't avoid buying just because of some bad reviews.

 disappointing Jul 06, 2010
Cannot be played as this is not compatable with the Wii consoles sold in South Africa. Very disappointing as AMazon should be aware of what is compatable in which countries

 Low on education Jun 19, 2010
I homeschool and am always looking for educational software. But Jumpstart missed an opportunity here.
An overview of activities.
Jumpee Quick Change-- creates a mii--NOT EDUCATIONAL
The Tree House-- decorates a house like a Webkins--NOT EDUCATIONAL
Jet Pack--reading skills
Egg Push--mindless pushing an object within a time limit--NOT EDUCATIONAL
Rubble Trouble--math skills but only one problem at a time and the score card on screen blocks the view of available answers, making it more difficult to analyze the 4 sets of answers.
Goon Lagoon--just hunting out objects and jumping and smashing things. NOT EDUCATIONAL
Foot Frenzy--"dancing" to music but consists of slight movements of wii remote left, right, up, down. Not interactive like the Step Exercise part of Wii Fit. --NOT EDUCATIONAL
The Slide--moves to underwater adventure
Manta Ray--math skills--beginning level of patterns is at 2nd grade level maybe. Not for early learners. Still trying out others.
Peal Push--same as Egg Push--NOT EDUCATIONAL
Bubble Trouble--reading skills
Secret Caverns--same as Goon Lagoon--NOT EDUCATIONAL
Fashion Show--dress up your mii and walk the run way. FOR GIRLS ONLY (unless you have boy who plays with Barbie)--NOT EDUCATIONAL
The Sub-takes you back up to the island.
They really missed the educational boat on this. Mindless games outnumber educational opportunities. Even good kids interested in learning will find it hard to not to get distracted by the mindless activities. Mindless games should be awarded on achieving certain levels of educational time. Kids should not have to hunt for the educational opportunities. ( Wish Leapster would develope Wii games. They do educational games right.)
The control functions on this game are awkward. Moves quickly and jerkily. For some people causes a motion sickness feel. Things tend to spin almost. We haven't found a function to slow down the motion when playing for example the The Manta Ray math game. Other than getting additional items for your mii, see no reason to actually collect the seashells. Does not seem to unlock additional play or anything. Too bad mindless activities don't have to be "unlocked".
I guess it's better than nothing.
We also have Big Brain Academy for Wii. It needs a mii and it's kind of insulting but only educational. A blend of the two, with mindless activities being "rewarded" would be an improvement.
It does work so I will give it 2 stars. We have educational software for our computers that do not work or only halfway work that include Adventure Workshop 1st-3rd Grade and some JumpStart programs. Not working would earn 1 star.
So have to give it a low score because as a video game it would be awful and as educational game it's lacking.
 Perfect for 5 and 7 year olds May 15, 2010
This game is perfect for both 5 and 7 year old grand children boys! they use jumpstart on the computer--internet--and this is the perfect wii game for them!
A bit of a learning curve Feb 14, 2010
My 4-year old needed help initially understanding how to move around. After that, he was off and running about.
