What could be better than saving baby animals? We already had several Putt-Putt games when I first saw this one so I knew it would be good. In this adventure designed for 3-8 year olds, Putt-Putt, a friendly young car, is asked to help find 6 missing...

Pros: Cute cars, great animation, good plotline, well-designed software
Cons: After a few wins, the excitement fades.

Let me start this review by saying that you've just got to love this little car. Putt-Putt doesn't require real gas, doesn't need brand new (and expensive) tires, and has a cute little grin.

That having been said, let me talk about the good...

Pros: Develops problem solving skills
Cons: none!

Our children have loved all the Putt Putt games, but this one seems to be their favorite. All the baby animals are lost at the zoo, and it can't have it's grand opening until the babies are found and returned to their parents.

Putt Putt the...

This is a very cool game, my 5 year old has played it over and over again, and does not seem to get tired of it. I really like how into this game she gets, I know when she sits down to play it she will be entertained for about 1/2 an hour. MOMMY...

Pros: Lots of fun & Learning
