Unfortunately I was not able to actually play this game. I tried but could not get it to work. So, I did the next best thing...I went to YouTube and watched someone else make it first the first level. I would rather have played, but it was actually nice feeling successful at a game for once. I know I might have taken awhile to figure out some of the little tricks. I really liked that they could pick up the jars and throw them. Sometimes it was beneficial to kill the bad guys because it gave up a key or and extra life. I would imagine the map could come in very handy because it seems as though you could wander the castle endlessly.
I do like the action adventure game format. It does involve problem solving which is great, but it makes it feel even more personal because you have become part of the game as a character. I also like how some reading is involved. As a second grade teacher, whenever reading is involved I am happy! Kids are going to want to know what is going on, so they will take the time to read even if it is a bit of a struggle for them. Some kids just don't want to pick up a book because it is too hard. This can get them reading because it is fun and motivating.
