Zoombinis Mountain Rescue Fun, Secretly Educational....

My children received Zoombinis Mountain Rescue for Christmas, alongside Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I Spy Treasure, and the Sim Theme Park PC programs. Now that it is March, Zoombini Mountain Rescue is the only program that continues to challenge my 6 and 8 year old sons to think. They cannot memorize this game; it changes and requires constant problem solving. It's humor and fun hide the fact that this is an "educational program." This is a great way for kids to learn mathematical theory and logic! ( My Mother, a teacher, even used the 1st Logical Journey of the Zoombinis in her 1st and 2nd Grade classroom with much success. ) We had no problems with loading, display, and playing the program. The characters and challenges in both Zoombini programs are neither violent nor simpering. Kids at 6 years will need some parent help as they progress in Zoombini Mountain Rescue. Logical Journey of the Zoombinis was less difficult for the youngest gamers. Watch out parents! It's fun for all ages...

Second Zoombinis Game

Finally, there is another Zoombinis game. It took about five years, but I was so excited that I immediately rushed out and bought it. I was a little disappointed to see that the graphics had changed, so that all of the Zoombinis looked different. As soon as I started to play it, however, I changed my mind. Though it only has nine puzzles and three difficulty levels for each, the game is still challenging. The Zoombinis are living in Zoombiniville happily, until a storm makes some Zoombinis get trapped in a cave. They venture out to rescue the others, and find that the friendly Boolies have lost their mayor. Now, the Zoombinis decide to help the Boolies get back to Booliewood so that their mayor will return. Instead of the difficulty level rising for an entire leg, each level can now have its own setting. Once a group of 16 Zoombinis gets through a level any three times without losing any Zoombinis, the difficulty level rises. Math and logic are slyly disguised and placed in each level, without using numbers. Some of the new concepts include dimension labeling and binary addition. This long-awaited sequel to the first Zoombinis game is almost as good as Logical Journey, though I would rather have the first if I had to choose. If you like this game, try the original, Zoombinis Logical Journey, and the third, Zoombinis Island Odyssey.

VERY INTERESTING

Melodrama

Unlike the Zoombini's Logical Journey, this game is filled with melodrama. Every time kids finish one puzzle, they have to save more Zoombinis from another obstacle. The narrator makes the game ever-more exciting.

Each puzzle is different than the last, and more important, each one changes constantly, so that no two games are ever the same. In other words, this game keeps kids on their toes, while making them believe they are actually saving Zoombinis.

Another bigtime winner.

Zoombinins Mountain Rescue may not be quite as good as the original title, only because it is a bit more challenging, but it is still an excellent game..far, far better than most games out there! We own the original game, and sure, it is easy to get attached to it. The truth is, this new game is enormously educational and worth every penny. The graphics are better, but that's not as important as the fact that the logic puzzles are just as outstanding if not better than the original. This game is better for kids about 9 and up, while the original one could be played by kids a bit younger.

fun logical the best!

I love to play the game. It is really entertaining and I never get bored playing far too many times. I would rate it more than five stars if I could. Zoombini Abloopa highly recommends all kids play the game and commands all kids to love zoombinis. (Zoombini Abloopa is the great king of zoombinis after the game happened.) One more thing. The kids at my school tease me that Zoombinis are really bad and stuff, but I think that the Learning Company gets sad because after all that work and trouble, to make the game they still say bad things. Thats all

zoombinis are great!

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.
