Jumpstart Escape from Adventure Island on Wii review and giveaway

The new jump Start Escape from Adventure Island game for the Wii is perfectly marked for the age group it is reaching out to. I believe it is marketing to ages 5 and up. We put the game in and gave it a go. You get to create your character and I think they did a good job with the creation engine, it’s just enough for a child. Not too detailed and the best part is that when you are in the game it looks the same. The graphics don’t change.

So you start out in a balloon and your balloon crashes. You end up on Adventure Island but you can’t leave until you earn enough sand dollars to pay for the repairs.

This is where the learning comes in. You scour the island and ocean following riddles, math problems and letter recognition. They can be as simple as matching numbers to the number representation to identifying the correct letter. The level can be chosen, light, medium and hard and you can choose the type of activity.

I chose one of the underwater games and my daughter seemed to really enjoy it. She liked swimming.

“Mommy, I’m a fish. “

The number recoginition is beyond her but we might work on her letters more tomorrow with this game. She sang her alphabet to her daddy today while I was at the Doctor. Makes me sad that I missed that.
