 Draconian; dont' waste your money unless u want to spend >$50 per year. January 3, 2010

1. To install, you must register with jumpstart/knowledgeadventure. 2. It checks for 'updates' even after first install. Doesn't explain what or why it is updating, just updating. 3. Then on exiting, it says 'collecting data' and sends data to a server somewhere (don't remember this being mentioned in the EULA even though I looked through it. Think it stated 'may collect'). 4. Upon trying to start it again, it looks for updates again even though it may have just updated recently. Also, needs to be connected to the net for the game to play upon startup and to exit on exit. Have had >5 previous versions of JumpStart programs that have not had to be connected to the internet in order to use and didn't collect or send data back. Will not pay a monthly/annual subscription fee and will not buy software from this company again until it can be installed on a standalone computer that does not require a connection to the internet. Isn't that the safest and easiest way to manage a computer the target audience needs to use? Complete draconian measures and can't wait for child to finish the 2 levels so that I can uninstall it and clean the registry.
 Not the best choice. July 30, 2009

I purchsed this game for a six year old and it was very age appropraite, however she only played the game for about five hours and then the game ended and told us that to continue this "adventure" we had to go to the website and become a member(which costs a monthly fee). My child was very dissappointed that she only could play through two learning levels before the game ended. What there was of the game was very good, the learning games were fun and it also taught basic keyboard skills. All in all a fun few hours, to bad it had to end so quickly.
