Jumpstart Advanced Kindergarten Home Edition (1) for OSX/PMac/Win98/XP CD
Amazon.com Product Description
Recognizing that there are many ways to learn and that children can use different intelligences to comprehend a skill or concept, the JumpStart Advanced series provides a personalized learning environment that suits how each child learns best. In addition, the JumpStart Advanced series offers greater play value with an enhanced motivational game-reward structure that empowers kids to create and express their creativity, along with fun activities that encourage active learning to reinforce skills beyond the computer, and advanced curricula to better prepare kids for the next grade. A valuable new feature in this series is more sensitive skill leveling that automatically adjusts gameplay and educational content to each child's increasing abilities. In JumpStart Advanced Kindergarten, players team up with Frankie and the JumpStart pals as they get ready for a wacky car race. As kids develop important kindergarten skills, they can earn scores of power boosters, such as super-stilt wheels, to customize their own crazy car and unlock five racing arenas. Loaded with arcade action, players will love zipping around colorful landscapes in a race against time to collect scattered treasures in the King's Castle, Jungle Adventure, Pirate's Isle, Candy Land, and Sports Town. Players can compete against their JumpStart pal or play cooperatively with a friend in two-player mode, and collect racing-cup trophies with each race they win.

Pretty good overall January 8, 2009
Toddler Mom
My 3yo daughter loves this game and plays for about 2 hours each time. The only negative side is that you have to listen to the characters explain how to play the game and to finish talking before you can play. Also, you have to listen carefully and teach your child how to play the games the first few times because the games are not easy to figure out if you don't listen to the directions. Otherwise, I would have given 5 stars.
 I also encountered problems February 26, 2005

I second the review about this product's failure. I have Microsoft XP and have had technical problems with this product. I've yet to hear back from their technical support team regarding this.
 this is great! November 11, 2004

this is an excellent investment... i'm a home school mom, and my daughter just wasn't getting it.. but after playing with this for 2 days!! she went from couldn't remember her letter sounds at all hardly to now she can read small words such as cat hat sat etc... then within a few more days she was doing spelling! i was in shock..... this is so wonderful.... not to mention, she went from barely knowing numbers or which ones were what and couldn't count to 20 to being able to do some addition and subtraction.... she loves it and has been using it for about a month now and she's progressed so much i just can't believe it... my baby is reading and doing math..... and she LOVES the animal adventures part and has learned so much from that even.. one day she made a paper bat and told me... she says mom (she's 5 years old mind you..) she says.. " mom i made this bat, and he uses echolocation(not sure if thats spelled right) to see and catch bugs..... i was like echo what???????? and she says echolocation........ i was like oh my goodness where did you learn that???? and she told me from that game..... i was like.... well i never even knew that word till just now, and it sounded so funny hearing her say such a large word.. i love this and am very glad i purchased it.. i would recommend it to anyone.. and the art progects she loves too, and you can print out different progects that they can do.. great job jump start :)
FALSE ADVERTISING: Does NOT run under Mac OS X March 3, 2003

The compatibility "information" provided on the box and CD is FALSE ADVERTISING, plain and simple. The box and CD state that the program runs under Mac OS X, but what they mean is that it runs under "classic mode," which is really OS 9.2.If you try to install it while running OS X, the installer crashes. Their email technical support is the worst I have ever experienced. The company farmed it out to a third party, and it is not clear if anyone actually works there. Responses appear to be computer generated, and provide no indication that a person read and understood my questions. Their 800 number support was much better. They quickly told me that the product does not run native under OS X, and provided information for returning the product for a refund (which I will now do).
Jumpstart computer series January 31, 2003
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
My husband and I purchased the Jumpstart computer cds for our 6 children for Christmas. We began with just the ones for their grades and ended up buying ALL the cds except for the baby one! To say we are pleased with this series would be a gross understatement! Our children can't get enough! They have improved our 3rd grader's grades and attitude and helped the others learn more while having a whole lot of fun! We recommend this to anyone who has children - they are worth every penny!
