Summary: ClueFinders 4th Grade is fun
Comment: I opened up the game and the minute I heard Soferdus (Joni's dog) do the first narration sentence, I knew I would like this game. The way they create this is brilliant. It covers most subjects and teaches them in a way that is very helpful for those who are having trouble. You start off in Cairo to find an ancient scroll. My only regrets for the Cairo area is you have to go back to the activities over and over until you deciphered all 5 clues and the geography game is very long and my favorite game, the fabric fractions game, is very short. Then you sail up the Nile to an island where you must collect gems from the mice in the area (who seem to think they are ancient Egyptians). Again, you have to keep going back to the activities until you've earned all the gems. The difference between Cairo is they always give you 3 cairoglyphs and run out, but you can never tell how many gems the rats have until they run out. Therefore, my least favorite games get played over and over, but my favorite games can get short. Also, for some strange reason, I had to play a pillar building game using decimals (that I hate) over and over and over until he ran out of gems. After that, they must go thru ancient challenges until they reach the end. Then just sit back and enjoy the rest of the story. I love the humor in this thing, but it kind of insults the Egyptian gods at one point. (I can't tell you where because it gives away an important part.)
Overall, it's a great game, although I must say the plot is much greater then the learning concept. The plot will grip children and they will go back again and again and move up levels until they have learned everything in the game. I recommend it (despite my complaints). ~Russian Blue Witch
