Zoombini's Logical Journey

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 5 / 5

Zoombini's Logical Journey
* Grades 3-7
* Mathematics
COMMENTS:
There is no time pressure as in many games, player must think mathematically and use logic skills to problem-solve, arcade type game that teaches classification skills, problem solving skills used as obstacles are encountered, not a typical math program with numbers and arithmetic operations. Instead, the player develops skills working with attributes, patterns, groupings, sorting, comparisons, and problem solving while helping these unusual characters succeed in life.
CLASSROOM CONNECTION:
Logical Journey is an exceptionally well-designed program that will clearly develop math thinking skills. It is challenging, visually captivating, and should hold a student's attention and interest. It is beneficial if someone is available to explain how each obstacle can be overcome as students/children use the program. Logical Journey is also a good program for small groups and independent use in a classroom setting. It should be used to introduce and practice critical thinking and logical reasoning skills.

So much fun!

This is one of the very few computer games where there are no glitches. The graphics, sound, and over all logic of this game are wonderous. Though some people may say it is for younger kids- they are wrong, my olmost fourteen year old cousin loves it- and even adults like it! It's not the same puzzle over and over agin either- clear directions and changing goals and directions give this game a little lift. There is so much more I could talk about with this game- but I don't want to bore you- overall this game is great!

Zoombinis rule!

This game is an interesting way to teach critical thinking, but it gets very repetitive very quickly since it is pretty short, and once you finish one skill level, the next level is the same old thing with just a bit more difficulty each time. I got tired of doing the same puzzles over and over, it would have been nice if each skill level had a new set of puzzles.

One good thing about this game is it works on both Windows machines and Macs, although the second Zoombini game, Mountain Rescue, does not work on Macs.

All in all, a cute game, but likely to be tired of quickly.

Great learning game

All my boys 4, 7 and 12 years really like this learning game. There is a good balace of assignments covering several basic math skills. Players really need to think along the way if they want to have any surviving Zoombinies at the end of the day. I even chip in sometimes myself.

Very good

I was very impressed by this one. purchased it on a whim, and was very pleased. My two kids love it, and would play it for hours if I let them.

Highly recommend this one...

I got this for our 9 year old brainiac nephew and it was a huge hit. He's spent tons of time playing it and it's so much fun that I want one for myself. The program seems to work very well, he's really fast on it and loves the music too.

The Best

Quite simply the best computer game ever made for children of all ages. I've been buying computer games for over 20 years and none has ever had the staying power and pure fun that Zoombinis has. Children of 4 and 5 love to set up the zoombini characters and watch it played long before they understand most of the logic. And you can watch them learn to think as they grow older and love the game that much more. Even 12-year-olds still enjoy the harder levels of play. Not even the later Zoombini games can hold hold a candle to this original masterpiece.

Instant hit with my 7 year old

Some buyers are having trouble because the Zoombinis they're inadvertantly getting old versions that give them problems on Win XP.

I purchased the Zoombinis Mini 2 Pack from rksglobalbooks thru Amazon Marketplace and both DVD's downloaded with ease on our XP. So if you want to get a current version that gives you no problems, check out rksglobalbooks. I got the cd's today, popped them in the computer and my son is playing as we speak.

Rksglobalbooks offers expedited shipping (if you want it). I got the item in 3 business days (priority mail). So if you want this specific Zoombinis product, this is the merchant to go with. I am very happy.

Just a note: One reviewer also said that with the older cd's you should say "yes" to loading Quicktime 2.1 when the option appears and then there should be no problems running the program.

Nice Game, but just a little hard
