Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good game IF you invest in all 12 "packs"
I bought this game as a compromise for my kindergartener and 2nd grader. For my kids, who don't have a play station or play a lot of computer games, this provides excellent, fun instruction on how to control an avatar and play a bunch of different types of games using both the keyboard and the mouse. It was hard for them at first because they kept getting lost in the Jumpstart "world," but now they have mastered it and have a lot of fun just visiting their favorite places. Most of the games themselves ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - problem not resolved for weeks. Customer support needs improvement!!
The games are good. My daugter who is 6 loves them. But after she finishes Unit 1, she keeps getting "here at jump start camp, we have a few more things to do before we start the next adventure, why don't you quit the game and start over?". We could not get rid of this no matter what we tried. Unit 2 never enables for us. Called their customer support, emailed them.......so far we were asked to send some files off our hard disk to them and no response after that........
We have been trying to get them ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great software!
We've had good luck with Jumpstart learning products in the past, so it was a no brainer buying this, and we're very impressed with how far the graphics have come! My 6 and 5 year old have such a great time trying to earn gems to buy different things, as well as winning trophies and keys for completing tasks. They are in head to head competition over who can get through the levels first, and are learning many different skills along the way from reading to math and problem solving...not to mention familiarizing ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must-Have Title for Your Children!
My wife and I are very selective about the content of the "screentime" (our household term for the time they can have in front of the computer, TV, and/or Wii) we allow our almost five-year daughter and our six-year-old son (who is nearing the end of his kindergarten year), and thus we strive for a healthy mix of quality education, exercise, and of course, fun.

Suffice to say that our children absolutely love JumpStart World 1st Grade and it is almost always their first choice for their individual screentime. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Evolutionary Leap in Education
As a computer scientist, I believe this product is an evolutionary leap in education. It is well worth every dollar you spend on it. Jumpstart uses advanced computer graphics technology to create imaginative worlds that are fun, stimulating, and educational for children. My six year old daughter and four year old son have been playing jumpstartworld.com for nearly a year. My six year old is nearly complete with the second grade curriculm, my four year old is nearly complete with the first grade curriculm. Their progress ... Read More
