 OK, but better choices out there November 9, 2008
William B. Trent
My son is a big Thomas fan so this is one of the first cartridges I bought for his new ClickStart.
The games do feature the Thomas characters in believable settings, and the activities are generally educational. Sir Top'em Hat is the narrator and is difficult to understand at times. Also the audio instructions are frequently difficult to hear over the music.
Lastly, maybe I'm expecting too much, but the player gets the same "well done" message even if they didn't do anything. My son quickly caught onto this.
If your kid is a Thomas buff this is a good game. If you are only getting a couple for your ClickStart I think there are better choices.
Thomas & Friends Click Start Game August 26, 2008
Leslie (Avoca, Iowa)
Overall it is a fairly well designed game. I believe the game options could be extended for the amount of money these games cost. The graphics are slightly on the poor side BUT the games themselves my son adores. The game level for a beginner is a little hard- he's only 3 and his ability for addition is not quite there yet. I personally cannot stand the cartoon and find the trains demonic looking (like the Easter Bunny in the Mall) but I guess the company is doing something right because kids cannot get enough of it.

We purchased this for our Grandchildren to use and it has worked well. It is still a bit advanced for our 2 year old, but he is catching on. Our 4 year old thoroughly enjoys it. The combination of play and learning is excellent.
A+! January 3, 2008

The clickstart and this game was one of my son's favorite Christmas presents. My son & I both enjoying playing this game together. He has learned so much already! Thank you so much! I look forward to buying the rest of the games very soon!
Pretty good - not the most educational, but fun for toddlers and good for computer skills December 28, 2007

We bought the ClickStart computer along with this Thomas game as a Christmas gift for my 2 1/2 year old son. He had started showing an interest in our computer and had already learned how to find letters on the keyboard and use the mouse, so we thought he would enjoy having his "own" little computer and that it would also help keep him from going on ours all the time. Thomas the Tank Engine (and all of Thomas' friends) are his favorite toys, so he absolutely loves this software, and it keeps him focused and engaged for a long time. It only comes with 3 games, all of which are fairly simple; this was somewhat disappointing, since for $20 I would have thought there would be more games included. Each game does have 2 skill levels, so I suppose you could say there are 6 games included, even though it is really only 3. The graphics are OK but not spectacular, though of course our son does not care or know the difference so that really doesn't matter. He has fun with the games and they are appropriately matched to his skill level; after a short amount of time playing the games with him (prompting him what to do) he is now able to start up the computer, select a game and play it totally on his own (without our help). He also enjoys the "in between game" activities such as clicking on as many tickets as possible within a certain time frame, to earn extra points, and I think these are particularly good for helping him master control of the mouse. It does have some educational value with games centered around letters, spelling words, finding shapes and numbers, counting, etc. but I think the most valuable skills he is learning are using the mouse and keyboard. The audio voice is sometimes a little difficult to hear above the music, so I think that sometimes he clicks around and gets the right answer by trial and error rather than by listening to the audio instructions and following them. Overall, we are happy with the purchase, though it does not have quite as much educational value as I had originally hoped.
