Too much of a hassle to use

The game itself is great, however, at least on my pc (Windows XP with service pack 2, with an intel motherboard and intel on board video) Each time we want to use the game we have to go to start, run, type in dxdiag, go to the display tab and turn off direct draw. Then we can launch and play the game. That's a bit too much of a pain to use. It says it works on XP, but every machine I know of uses direct draw, so this is really more engineered for older versions of windows I think. This game should be updated so folks don't need to go through this hassle. Otherwise the game itself is great. If you don't mind going through these steps (and maybe if you are lucky you won't have to) buy it.

Disappointed--doesn't work well with my computer OS

My fault. I should not have purchased software produced in 2001 for a computer system built in 2007. Too many incompatibility issues. I will give this to someone who has a more compatible system than mine.

Great game for the kids

The kids picked it up in no time (ages 9 & 6.) Me, I couldn't figure it out but at least they enjoyed it. However they beat it in one day.

zoombinis are great!

This game is really good, but:
1.The games are somewhat the same as "Logical journey of the zoombinis".
2.The graphics are bad.
3.It is not very hard to play. I played 2 days and got 2 games up to the hardest level.
I would buy this game if it were on sale but not for regular price.

Oringial was great

This game is fun but you have to get so many zoombinis so far so many times.

I think it's a great game!

I like this game a lot. I haven't played it myself, but I've watched my 8-year old brother play it for a while. I like the puzzles and sort of like how it gets harder after you complete each section a certain number of times. One of the things I didn't really like was how long it is. I mean, come on! You have to rescue 500+ Zoombinis and the most you can save at a time is 16! Another thing that I noticed was that some of the puzzles take a LOT of patience.There's one game where you have to give trolls the food they want by listening to the clues they give you. On the beginning level it was fine, but by the intermidiate level he didn't have as much patience for all the things and ended up guessing randomly. Still, I think this is DEFINITELY a good game. I would reccomend it. Also there's several other great Zoombinis games that are also fun.

We ordered this version because the first Zoombinis Logical Journey wouldn't work on our new operating system, MS Media. The kids missed playing the game. The kids and I found the first Journey had more levels of difficulty, thus more challenging. But the game still emphasizes logical thinking skills necessary for math. It was nice seeing and creating the Zoonbinis again.
