We bought this locally and run it on an older Mac (updated OS). My son (3 at the time) and daughter (approaching 7) sometimes fight over this game - they both LOVE it! I love that it's easy to run for a kid. My kids can load the disc and start the program and navigate the whole game without needing to read and with no adult. There are 5(?) regions - Rainforest, Arctic, Grasslands, etc. the kids can explore. They have the options of about 4 games (same in each region) to earn points. The points are earned toward getting their own animal, appropriate to the region they are exploring. Sometimes a bonus-type game pops up and the kids have to find the animal that is in the wrong region. They haven't gotten bored yet - but I assume ~8 year olds and up might. The voices, music, graphics are all pleasing, without the annoying dumbed-down garbage some educational kids games have. Great game!

We purchased this game for our daughter for Christmas. She is six and loves it. She is able to start the game and play most parts on her own. We have read lots of books about animals but she has learned some new facts by playing this game. The graphics are pretty good, but our daughter isn't really concerned about how the game looks. Every time she has a friend over she wants to show them her game and they end up playing for awhile. Her friends seem to like it also.

I initially downloaded a trial for this game for my 3 yr old from Big Fish Games and she and the 3 yr old we babysit loved it so much I had to buy it. It says the recommended age for this game is 6 but they are 3 and they are able to play it. You learn a lot about animals and it is fun too!!! I highly recommend this game it is worth the $20. I just wish they sold it in stores like Target or Toys R Us so I could have saved on shipping but it is still worth it!!!
