 Factory Error with this game? September 26, 2009
Cari Diez (Orlando, FL)

I truly believe that there was some kind of factory error with this product. I researched and read about this version (Kindergarten Advanced) and the reviews said that the goal was to complete the tasks in order to get your car ready for the big race (hence the picture on the box). I purchased the software, installed it and the newest Jumpstart Kindergarten World edition is what came up. This is a completely different game that sells for $10 more and is what people are talking about with the monthly subscription. The disks were labeled correctly, but the content was the wrong version. After a lot of pleading the store finally took the product back. It's unfortunate because the regular Advanced version got good reviews, but obviously this has happened to a lot of people, so I'm not going to take my chances again.
Buyer beware!! September 23, 2009

I purchased this game for my grandson - which he loved, until he found out that he can not progress beyond the 2nd level (of 12) unless a Jumpstart membership is purchased ([...]/month). Big diappointment!!
Jumpstart is EVIL!!! September 13, 2009
Nicole Snow (Carolina, Puerto Rico, United States)
We've been fans of the jumpstart games for years now as our kids have enjoyed the "edutainment" experience. However, this latest jumpstart "business model" is EVIL!
As others have stated, they only give you the first two levels when you purchase this product for [...]. After that, you are required to purchase an online membership to unlock the other levels.
No where is this limitation or "requirement" specified on the box. [...]

 Buyer beware July 27, 2009

Initially, I thought this was a great product. It kept our son entertained with educational games through two long hot summer afternoons. However, the game is designed so that when you pass level two, it directs you to their website and informs you that if you want to continue, [...] Unfortunately, my son was already excited about earning the "badges" and was upset that he can't earn all of them without a subscription. NO WHERE on the box is this explained to the consumer. On their website, other parents have complained; yet, the company feebly replies that it is sorry if subscription requirements are not made clear. Still, it appears as if it has made NO effort to change their packaging. Considering the initial price combined with a yearly membership is close to $100, I would not have bought this if I would have known my son was going to end up disappointed, and I would end up bamboozled.
Requires internet connection June 26, 2009

We were very dissatisfied with this product. It is a form of Jumpstart World, and VERY different from the other kindergarten products.
My child liked the games inside the "arcades", but walking around the "world" was not interesting to her, and they kept commanding her to do things she wanted to do later.
Also, it requires an internet connection to start up even though you supposedly are not playing over the internet. Very suspicious in this world of predators. I do not let my children connect online at all, so this game only gets played when I am in the room also.
