Please read this review prior to purchasing:
"You can only play one level of the game and then you have to "subscribe" (for $79USD per year or if you search online for a promo code you can get it for $59USD per year) to do the other levels. I was really upset when I realized this.
That said...it is TRULY the BEST educational game for kids I have EVER seen. Better than school (yes, better than school) and better than a parent can teach. And YES,it is worth every dime. And if you own more than one Jumpstart 3D game like I do then the subscription is for all the games you own...and you can play games online.
In all of the Jumpstart 3D games your child gets to choose a character and sometimes dress them (think SIMS). Then they use either the mouse or arrow keys to manoeuvre the character around a 3D world. You child earns "gems" by completing learning games (that are nothing short of astounding) and helping friends. After they complete 12 learning games, a new "land" or "area" opens up for the kids to explore and they have all new "quests" and "learning games" to complete. Kids can use their gems to buy decorations for their house, take care of a virtual pet (they have to buy the pet food/water/shampoo and take care of them) and also sometimes buy things for other characters. It really helps the kids learn about spending and saving. And did I mention the learning games? My 4 year old is doing charts and graphs and both of my kids are learning to read. They truly are nothing short of astounding.
I HIGHLY recommend this product. Yes, I do think the company is sneaky about getting people to buy the product and tricks them into getting a subscription. They need to be honest. They have nothing to be shady about because this game is worth the price they ask. I will continue to use their 3D products."
