Barney - Secret of the Rainbow [Old Version]

This game is definately child friendly! Theres lots of activities to click on and as you play different games you unlock colors of the rainbow. My child loved the dancing with the characters and I loved how she didn't have to use a particular key to keep them dancing. So even if your child doesn't have a lot of computer skills yet they can still play the activities! This game is great for even a two year old! They definately were thinking of the younger children when making this game, very user friendly. I like how the child is able to skip around if one activity doesn't interest them they can just move to a different one. Theres no having to complete one thing before they can play another. I highly recommend this product if your child is just starting to explore games on the computer, its a great beginner game!*This review was posted by a member of the Nova Development User Community (NDUC).

This was a present for my daughter and unfortunately this does not work for her.

Being a huge Barney fan, we found this software disappointing. First of all, my daughters computer would accept or load the software on her Dell Windows XP; however, it loaded fine on my computer with Windows Vista. We have loaded about 5 other children's software programs on her system with no problems. Second, when we tried to use the software it takes way to long to get to the actual game. Barney or other characters spend too much time talking which loses the attention of my daughter. It is colorful, cute, and we love Barney, but does not measure up to the other games we bought.

My three rambunctious boys (ages 3, 5, & 7) have enjoyed this software a lot and been able to use it with minimal adult assistance. I wouldn't say that it is all that educational ~ even my 3 year old already knew his colors and basic skills "taught" with these games ~ but it was very entertaining for them and had enough variety to keep them occupied for an hour or so. There are segments that my boys call "movies" - actual excerpts of Barney shows (with the music, etc.) that they like to watch. The games themselves are animated, colorful, and uncomplicated. There is also an option to print the activities that they complete. The kids seem to enjoy it pretty well, although it wouldn't be our all-time favorite as far as preschool educational software goes for actually teaching them much.*This review was posted by a member of the Nova Development User Community (NDUC).

Barney and the Secret of the Rainbow ReviewThis product is fantastic! We love Barney in our house. My children grew up loving the program on TV and now my granddaughter can enjoy Barney on the computer! This program has two levels so that makes it wonderful. Level 1 is perfect for very, very small children as they only need to push a button on the keyboard and ANY key will do. They can learn about animals and sounds, manners, dancing. I'm impressed. Level 2 requires using the mouse and clicking on items. With the vast differences in levels, this product can last for years.*This review was posted by a member of the Nova Development User Community (NDUC).

Barney, Barney, Barney, my kids loved paying with Barney and the Secret Rainbow. I have a 2 and a 5 year old. For the most part everything was a review for my 5 year old, and he helped my 2 year old navigate the software. I think she'll be on her own soon enough. They enjoyed playing it together and I would recommend this for any child that likes Barney!*This review was posted by a member of the Nova Development User Community (NDUC).

What a cute, fun and colorful way to learn! My son was glued to the screen. The program was easy to navigate through and fun to play. Having 2 levels will allow my son to be able to play the game longer before he outgrows/masters it. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone looking for a fun learning game.*This review was posted by a member of the Nova Development User Community (NDUC).

This game was quick and easy to install. I liked how fast the game started. There were a lot of areas where the user only had to press any key to proceed. You can also use the mouse and a single click. This program was one of the easiest for my toddler to use. I didn't need to give him hardly any direction to play. The graphics were okay but not as clear as other games I've seen. If your child is a Barney fan they will really like this game. They can dress up the characters in one scene for a party- my son thought it was very fun. This is a cute game geared toward the preschool age.*This review was posted by a member of the Nova Development User Community (NDUC).
