Freddie and Luther go to help out on Freddie's aunt's ranch only to find out that her hogfish have been rustled. This starts the adventure that sends Freddie and Luther into the deep blue sea to find the missing hogfish. Through interactive play and logical thinking my son had a great time trying to find the hogs. Like all Humongous Ent. software these games promote logic, and deductive reasoning in a fun way. My son loves all their games! This game is a little more challenging than previous releases of Freddie, but but not so much that my son wanted to give up. I feel it was a great confidence builder for my son to figure out the puzzles and play the different "games within the game". You won't regret getting this one! Try the Pajama Sam series or Putt Putt!
A well-done game, but too tough for youngest players

Although the box lists the age range for this title as 3-8, we found it to be far too challenging for a 3-year-old. (The parents enjoyed playing it, though!) This particular 3-year-old had been breezing thru some of the "Toddler" and "Preschool" titles on the market, so we decided to let him try this title. While he enjoys the characters, he hasn't really taken to the puzzle-solving. We'll keep it on the shelf for a while and re-introduce it when he's a bit older.

My husband and I both enjoy playing this game. More importantly, our son, age four, really enjoys it. This game encourages creative thinking, problem solving, memory skills and more. One thing I particularly like is that each time you solve the game and it's over, when you begin again, it's like palying a new game. The problems change, the puzzles change, the objects you need to find and collect change.
These games have gotten better with each game.
Well worth the money.
Enjoy

I bought this for my daughter when she was two and a half. We put it in and played with it together for a few months. Just before she turned three, I let her play with it by herself to practice using the mouse. She loves it! The graphics are cartoony and fun, and the verbal instructions given by Freddi are simple. There are so many things to click on in most scenes that it will grab attention. My daughter just practiced using the mouse and getting it to click on the right picture. Now she solves the mystery and completes the game all by herself.
Bottom line:
A great beginner software for three and up.
Great game for young kids

My four-year-old son's favorite games over the past year, by far, are the Freddi Fish ones. They are challenging, change a bit every time but maintain enough consistency to be easy to navigate, and are lots of fun. The later games (#4 and up?)have a "save" feature, which is awesome. Highly recommend!

Neat idea but my 6 year old loses interest. It is too complicated to keep him involved. We (mom and dad) enjoyed playing it but it took too long to find clues and there were too many levels for him to understand what was happening.
They're getting better

The games seem to improve as you move from #1 to #4. My 5-yr old likes it that each time you play it is slightly different.
More Freddy

Bought one Freddie the Fish CD some years ago in a 4-game pack. I have recently purchaced all that are available and my Grandchildren love them.
The games are really fun and interesting. Teaches children to remember and solve the puzzle with the clues provided. And it is not boring in any way. Children range from 3 to 9 years old. Also, there are many graphics along the way...everything opens to reveal a joke or song or just silliness. Buy one, buy them ALL, they're great!
Perfect game for kids of 4-5 years old

I purchased this game for my son as the 2nd game in my entire household, when he almost masters the Freddi Fish 3.
With games in Freddi Fish 3, my son wins each episode in 7 minutes, each episode in this game - Freddi Fish 4 - takes him less than 10 minutes. I think he may shorten it to 7 minutes as well. At first, the game appeared to be more difficult than in Freddi Fish 3. By now, I think the Freddi Fish 3 is more challenging that Freddi Fish 4, for that game has no concept of Negative values as in Freddi Fish 3.
As similar to Freddi Fish 3, this game challenges the kid with un-expected events, new thinking, and problem solving. Please, read my evaluation of Freddy Fish 3 to see how fun these game are, and some tricks to play them. They are worth the food for your kid's mind.
