We have eagerly awaited this new Spy Fox game only to discover that Humongous as well as The Learning Company and others have stopped making software for the Macintosh. You would think with so many iMacs being sold that they would cut us a break. My kids are exremely dissapointed and so am I.

very disheartened

I have always loved Humongous software. Very educational and challenging. This game was no exception. But when I was in the "donut shop" of this game and saw on the menu a "marion berry powdered donut", I was apalled! This reference has a lot of connotations with it and I don't see why this phrase was used, especially when it could be mistaken for a possible reference to such a huge political scandal.

I don't know what they're talking about, this is freaky!

Hello, I am Russian Blue Witch, a child only slightly over the age range. I played this game and it was hideous! The game play was great, and it was pretty fun, but on the first cut scene they had stuff burn up right before people's eyes and whole oceans dry right up! And meanwhile all Poodles Galore (What was her mother THINKING when she named her?) just laughs her head off, and all Spy Fox (His mother has problems too!)can do is make the lamest puns in world history. I mean, seriously, this was too freaky for ME! AND I'M HIGHER THAN THE AGE RANGE! Okay, I have an active imagination (I am scared silly by two girl scout songs, Found a Peanut and Sharks), so I guess you have to decide for yourself whether or not to take my word for it. But it only gets worse, with Poodles sending innocent folks to their death and doom just for the money! Also, apparently the guys at Humongous are afraid of lawsuits, making Spy Fox stop in the middle of saving the world just to explain that in real life you should never put your feet in a toaster. I don't think they should have done that in the first place!

Another thing to get annoyed with is that in this game, some of the problems have to be solved by spy gadgets you can only get at command center. This is okay except for the fact you need to keep going back for more gadgets, and, unless you've played before, you don't know what gadgets you'll need until you need them. Also, Spy Fox is just as cruel as Poodles, sticking innocent (Okay, not so innocent) henchmen to the ceiling for (According to Professor Quack) days!

For anyone interested, I asked Plato Pushpin about why on earth the Congeo pill worked, but I had to make a quick exit to save my brain from melting.

I highly recommend you don't buy this unless you have a tough kid and can get it for cheep.

Well, it tries to be entertaining...

Out of 5 kids who've tried my copy of this game, none were entertained enough to keep at it. It does try to be entertaining but there's nothing that really challenges them effectively or offers any kind of real educational content. This game is just fluff, and far from Humongous's best work. Look for it used if you "have to have it".

Oh So Easy

This game is so easy I beat it in only 3 days. I have Windows NT and I just popped the game in and it boom it worked, no installation, no nothing!!!!! All the other Humongous games did the same thing, it's very crazy. Well anyway if you just get stuck press F1 and click on solutions, that's what I did. It's still a pretty good game anyway.

Excellent

Excellent game for the kids my 6 and 8 year old boys really loved it. The fun arcade game is 5 stars. Read the help file for the bonus tour.

My daughter and I have worked our way through just about every Humongous title on the market, so we were eagerly anticipating their latest release. "Operation Ozone" didn't disappoint. We found this one slightly less challenging than the first Spy Fox (and the first Pajama Sam, for that matter), but we enjoyed the scope of this game much more than earlier Spy Fox titles. There are more locations to go to, and more situations encountered. Another fun and well-done offering by Humongous!

I don't know who was more excited to play this latest SPY FOX sequel, my eight year old, or her 44 year old mom. Clever, challenging, and amusing, Spy Fox is addictive. This latest version is enhanced with MUSIC-- yes, the CD can be played in the car and on the headphones. Awesome fun and recommended. We are already awaiting the next release.

Very Fun!

I just bought it today and couldn't stop until I solved the mystery...I have all 3 and have enjoyed all 3. I am 11, but this game still made me think, but still have fun. It's vibrant and colorful, the characters humorous as well. They should have a Spy Fox television show!

My Grandaughter loved this game

My granddaughter loved this game. She is 5 and played it at least a half dozen times while visiting. She thought the game was just challenging enough for her.
