fun and educational Jan 25, 2008
By Deborah Jennings
My 3-year old received this game for Christmas and loves it. He asks to play it daily and has had much more success with it than the games that came pre-loaded on the ClickStart.
The first game, Shark Hunt, shows a keyboard displayed on the screen. For level 1, a little fish "hides" behind one of the letters. When you click on the right letter you find the fish and earn a star. If you click on the wrong letter, a picture of something that starts with that letter appears and it makes the appropriate sound. My son likes this almost as much as finding the fish, which he is a whiz at now but still enjoys. Level 2 is similar but you spell out 3-letter words in order to find the fish.
The next game has Nemo popping the bubbles that fill the screen in order to reach the top. On level 1 the bubbles are color-coded according to the keys on the keyboard (click a blue key to pop a blue bubble, etc.). My son doesn't like this one too much. On level 2 the bubble have specific letters or numbers to push to pop the bubbles. He likes this one a little better, but still not his favorite.
The third game has a little turtle swimming through the water. You press the up and down arrows or use the mouse to move the turtle up and down to catch a particular shape that the game directs you to look for. My son likes this game pretty well; we haven't attempted level 2 on it yet though.
Overall I think this is a good product, though not a particularly great value at $20. I am very pleased that my son is now very familiar with where the letters are on the keyboard and is starting to spell 3-letter words, thanks in part to this game.

 Better Choices Out There Dec 25, 2008
By William B. Trent
My son loves his ClickStart, which we started with The Thomas the Tank Engine and Dora programs. We added Diego and Nemo after we saw that he liked it. Of all the titles I would say this one is the most lame.
To start, the characters don't look all that much like they do in the movie and of course the voices are not the same - this was a little distracting. But the big issue is that the games themselves are not very good. The objectives are unclear and the feedback lacking. In contrast the Dora and especially Deigo games are engaging, challenging and well-paced.
The more your little one likes Nemo the less they'll like this game.

 Finding Nemo Oct 10, 2008
By Wendy Knutsen-hess
This is fabulous. My kids love it and it's very educational and they fight over who's going to play with it. We only have one keyboard for the 4 of them. I would highly recommend this and hopefully the cartridges could be expanded to more difficult levels.

My three year old loves it! Jan 08, 2009
By A. Lynch
My three year old really loves to play the Nemo game. He doesn't nap anymore so it is a nice activity to do during his rest time after lunch, instead of watching tv. We are so glad we got it!

Great Gender Neutral Game Feb 14, 2010
By Amazon Shopper
My son loves his click start computer and this game was the perfect addition. The game is interactive and teaches upper and lowercase letters, spelling of 3 letter words and shapes. It also offers silent hints so parents can assist the child when they may have forgotten or don't know what to do next. Fantastic Purchase!!
