Rating: 1 stars
Summary: V ery disappointing
Review: I have always loved the Veggie Tale movies but this game was a huge disappointment. The package offers parents the option of setting time limits on how long your kids can play this game but trust me, my 5 year old lost interest long before any time limit would have ended. It only has 5 activities and they wear thin very quickly. There is so little substance to this game that it is pathetic. BORING. Buy something else.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best
Review: I love anything veggie tales I have a veggie tales club with lots of members I hope they never stop producing veggie tales products

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not what I expected
Review: I was disappointed. I had hoped this game would mean some of our son's computer time would teach him about the Bible and religion, but there's nothing really eduational or religion-oriented about this. It's just games, one of which is bumper cars (try to bump others) and one is target shooting, two activities that seem a little contrary to the morals I wanted encouraged. Also, the game is pretty short. It also requires a much better system than the minimum recommended - we have to play it on my computer instead of my son's. Still, it's fun to play and my son loves it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very frustrating & disappointed
Review: I was dissappointed that the game did not function on our computer. The computer meets the system requirements, yet things like the bumper cars and roller coaster don't work. My daughter loves veggie tales, but becomes very frustrated with this game. I also agree that it would have been nice to have some of the spiritual values taught in this game as well.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Kids run out before the timer does
Review: This isn't the most exciting game in my kids' collection but it's probably worth the ten bucks. The games are about as good as flash games you'd find at Nick Jr. or PBSKids online: kind of fun but very repetitive. In fact, before we finished any of the 5 games, my kids were asking to move on to the next one.

Silly Songs with Robots is probably the best activity, although not really a game. It only has a handful of songs, though, so you're probably better off buying an audio CD.

The egg timer feature (lets parents set a time limit) is something I'd like to see in other games for children, but to tell the truth my kids were done before the 20 minutes were up.

I was amused by the game's attempts to console parents who might be concerned that one of the activities involves ramming a car into other players (one character says something like, "There are lots of ways to have fun without hurting anyone!") and another is a shooting game (again, something like "These are rubber darts so no one will get hurt!")
