 2nd grade boy loves it October 31, 2005
My 2nd grade son loves Jump Start 3rd grade! I helped him through some questions, yes, but what a great learning adventure. He has played the game many times and has captured all of the robots. We have even given the game as a gift to friends who enjoyed playing it at our house.

We got this game for our daughter a few weeks before entering third grade. One of the three disks is amazingly good -- you play a variety of educational games to capture villanous robots who are changing the past to prevent key inventions. This larger game is made up of smaller games, like one where you answer historical questions (and get to choose again until you get it right) and then the narrator tells you a bit of trivia related to that question (e.g., pasturizing milk). My daughter loved this game and learned a whole lot in the process. There are math & reading & logic skills, but also a lot of general knowledge. After playing this game, she knows a lot about famous artists and recognizes all of the famous statues. The game conveys a lot on history and geography in a really enjoyable format. The other two disks have games that are similar but not quite as fun.
I can't imagine why the other reviewers didn't like this game. My daughter played the whole thing on her own, learned a lot, and enjoyed herself immensely.
 JumpStart Advanced 3rd Grade - Good, but must know about history September 2, 2005
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
StoryMaker is my internet nickname and you can call me that. JS Adv. 3rd Grade is fun. I only entered 3rd grade but I like JS Adv. 3rd Grade a lot. I like the learning activities - fun! Only, I've never finished it. I've never even saved the first robot. That's because the time machine quiz was too hard for me and the only way to exit in the TMQ it is to use the Alt, Ctrl, and Delete keys (hold them down at the same time) because the go back/exit button dosen't work at that point. So I just play the activities lots more times and never finish. (My sister, Russian Blue Witch, has finished it 2 times!) Good software, but you can't finish it if you don't know lots of history and you need to memorize years and dates. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"

We have used Jumpstart for three years to help our child prepare for the upcoming grade. We find it necessary to sit with our child to work with Jumpstart. Recently a teacher commented about Jumpstart- that it is a program for children who are advanced for their grade level and preparing to gear up for the next grade. It is not a preparatorial tool for those on middle ground. The child's vocabulary and other school skills must be several notches above average to use this program without parental assistance. A program for above standard achievers.

Honestly, we've not put much time into actually using the program but won't be either. I have an "Advanced" 3rd Grader and she does not like this Game. The introduction to the game is very, very long and she looses interest. There appears to be no way around the introduction into areas that are "fun". There is also not an "Exit" or "Escape" route to shut off the constantally talking robot. We need quicker access to the "fun" so that we can actually learn something, and this game doesn't do that.
