 All of the Clifford Games Are Awesome! January 6, 2009
M. Russell (Virginia)
We started out with Thinking Adventures, and I was so impressed, I ordered the Phonics, Reading, and now the Learning Activities. My boys (twins 5, and younger one - 3) absolutely love every one of them! All three of them will take turns around the computer for at least an hour with one of the Clifford games in. Highly recommeded!
Educational and Fun November 28, 2008
Teacher and Mom (Gig Harbor, WA)
As a teacher, I find this game to be educational and fun for children. It has upper and lower case letter matching, patterning, color matching, sorting, counting, number recognition and early reading skills. My 4 and 5 year old really enjoy it and can navigate on their own. I would consider this a good purchase.
 Would not install with XP September 23, 2008
H.P. (Fresno, CA USA)
Could not get it to install on computer. Have XP, lots of Ram and have installed over 20 other games with no problems! And hard drive still has 80% free space.

My 5 year old daughter loves this game. It is easy to use, fun and educational. Indeed, it is hard to get my kid off the computer once she pops in Clifford. Last night she was playing this game and I asked her if she wanted to watch Liar Liar or Bruce Almighty (she's a Jim Carrey nut!). Normally she would drop everything and anything to watch either of those movies, but last night she didn't want to. She wanted to keep playing her Clifford game on the computer. That's when I knew I had to write a 5 star review for this software. If you have kids aged 3ish to 6ish... oh, you gotta get them this!
 Fun but confusing. Could have been better. August 11, 2007

My son had a lot of fun with this software package, but it's not something where you can leave your kid with it and go do something else. The interface is confusing. The cursor often disappears and reappears during the normal course of loading the introduction to certain games, which makes it very confusing for a little guy who just got into a game he's already played and just wants to get out of the game but can't.
Also, the interfaces are not consistant. Some use the gold arrow cursor all the time, while others have the cursur disappear and suddenly one of tha dog characters becomes directly manipulated by the mouse. Again, not consistent and can be quite confusing for a small child.
Then there's the fact that it's really just about a half-dozen games that can be played through in about an hour, and then where do you go after that? To another software package, probably. Of course, there's three difficulty levels and that may make the games interesting for a second or third play.
The bottom line is this is a cute but needlessly confusing (the maze with T-bone is really hard, not maze but the mouse interface) set of game software that will likely have you hovering over your child and helping him/her rather than going off and doing something while you're offspring use the computer.
