Jump*Start Animal Adventures will introduce your child to the wonderful world of animals! Guided by the fun-loving characters from the Jump*Start world
Jump*Start Animal Adventures is an action packed fun game that children will truly learn from. Some of the things that children will discover are:
-
Over 40 unique animals in 16 action packed environments
-
Strange but true animal facts
-
4 exciting habitats around the world
The way the title progresses is that kids travel the world trying to become Animal Experts. Travelling with the characters in the game, you stop at wonderful locations and are presented with a series of challenges at each area.
One of these tasks, and this is the primary focus of the game is to identify and photograph selected animals. Then match the photos. This is done by paying careful attention to the contest sheets that are presented before entering the new domain.
Throughout, strange but true facts about the animals featured are made known to the player, like 'did you know that the North American porcupine's front teeth are orange?'. Weird stuff but kids eat it up.
There are also 16 arcade type games to be played in addition to the educational value of the core pursuit. These are also accessed by listening to all the information that can be gleaned from the animals onscreen. Some of these informative animals have lively animated segments made around them, whilst others are straight forward and to the point.
Other activities that become available involve directly interacting with the animals. Protecting zebras from the lions in the Savanna, helping elephants and grooming animals will give children a great insight into how animals interact with each other and the environment.
One small detail that impressed me about all the Jump*Start games is that so far in the series, the system requirements have not been too excessive. Here are the requirements for Animal Adventures:
