The Teletubbies Visit Windows

Written: Apr 21 '01
Pros:VERY easy to use, good for very young children who are allowed on computer.
Cons:Boring, frustrating for my 3 year old, slow action, annoying
The Bottom Line: Do not buy this game - it is boring, annoying, frustrating, and a waste of time and money. It is as uneducational as the show itself.

My daughter received this game as a gift for her third birthday. She watched and enjoyed Teletubbies when she was very young, and she still enjoys playing with her Teletubby toys. However, this game is a waste of time, money, and valuable space on the CD rack!

I never cared for the TV show that much, realizing its lack of educational value. When my daughter was younger, I didn't mind so much that she watched it, because she really enjoyed it - there are bright colors and funny situations (for a 1 year old). This game is as boring and lacking in value as the show itself. There are no activities that even attmept to teach a skill.

Basically the game is set up like an episode of the show. The child has control of a Teletubby, and can move the sparkly cursor around to make the Tubby walk. The child can have the Tubby walk indoors and out. There are plenty of clickable items (plants, trees, Tubby custard and toast machines, etc.) but the interaction is very minimal, and not educational at all. The cursor is designed for children without much control over the mouse, so when the cursor moves, the Teletubby follows it, resulting in a lot of random wandering. This is very frustrating for my 3 year old, who is used to having a specific point to click on. Also, the action is slow and boring.

I don't know what else to say about this game. There is nothing else to it. This is a slow-moving, boring, annoying game. The only reason I haven't gotten rid of it is because my daughter would miss it. She plays it very rarely, and usually only for about ten minutes at a time, before she becomes frustrated with it and moves on to something else.

I would say the only thing this game is good for is extremely young children who are allowed to play on the computer. They might enjoy the bright colors and silly sounds.

Recommended: No
