We are now on our 2nd disc and both did not work in my computer which is just a few years old. Never had a problem with any other software. Stay away from this game!!!

I installed this computer on a Gateway 700S and it doesn't work at all. I went to Atari's technical support and followed the suggestions for updating video, sound, and DirectX, which didn't help at all. Now I have a game I can't return and can't play.

Software is poor, tried on 3 different computers the cd won't run on any of them. Atari must know about the problem because the web site list what the computer does, but no solution to the problem. Its a waste of time and money.

Dora the Explorer Animal Adventures makes an excellent beginner game. The characters speak slowly, and the instructions are thorough, in my opinion probably a too comprehensive. For instance, after you sign-in, the characters introduce themselves, and they explain about the big storm. It takes them 2 long minutes! That's a lot of time. I've found it's easier for this age group to listen to short explanations, so they can get on with game. If they're having problems, further instruction is always welcomed. Fortunately, you can click the mouse and skip over the narration in the replay.
Dora the Explorer Animal Adventures is recommended for children 3 to 5-years. I think a 2½ year old could easily handle level 1 on this game, especially in the River Rapids Rescue game. This is my son's least favorite, because it's the least challenging. All you do is move the mouse and click somewhere within 6" vicinity, so Dora can jump over the logs in the river. The visual spotting games are fun for little ones too. Once the animals are discovered they put-on a silly performance that young children find amusing. For example, the Fruit Bat puts on a hat of fruit and dances. The Caimen stands up and brushes his teeth. My son actually laughs aloud.
The game offers lots of encouragement as well. For instance, Dora will shout "great idea," or Diego will say, "excelente." Just like the television series, the Fiesta Trio will play a little ditty at the end of each game. In our house, computer time is an earned privilege, thus some weeks he plays, while others he doesn't. When he does play, he's not allowed to sit at the computer for hours at a time, as his gaming time is limited. I like that my son instantly understood this game, so it's intuitive. I also appreciate the educational, and bilingual features. One could literally learn interesting facts about 2 dozen different animals. I'm not sure how far the game counts, but I know my 4-year old has collected at least 40 stars, because I heard him count to 40 in Spanish.
Bottom line, William enjoys the Dora the Explorer Animal Adventures game. Even though it's not his favorite computer game, he does request it. It think 3-year old children are the prime target market, but older children just starting to play computer games would enjoy it as well. I definitely think I got my money's worth!

We found this game would not play on my new dell computer and only played on my husband's new alienware system with choppy sound and graphics - and he bought this computer specifically for gaming. So I think the software must be defective. We have backpack and lost city also - they play well and my son (2.5) likes them both, but i found that with lost city all the games were about numbers - ignoring other concepts like colors, letters and shapes. Try this software at your own risk, maybe they will fix the bugs. I found tech support to be a frustrating, time consuming experience with an automated system that was confusing and annoying. Good luck.
