Others are likely to find this feature somewhat confusing. For instance, children trying to master the rules and develop some expertise at a game may not attend to differences in game-playing styles or know how to adjust their own strategies to accommodate those of the different opponents. This program also offers a series of short videos and accompanying information about offensive and defensive strategies that animals use in the wild. Both pieces of advice are so general that children may not know how to make use of them when actually playing games. Strategy Challenges Collection 2 will appeal to a wide range of girls and boys who enjoy strategy games.
Children have a lot of flexibility in how they use the games.
They can decide whether to play against a human or computer opponent, whether or not to receive help, and if they're playing against the computer, they can determine the level of challenge and whether their opponent plays offensively or defensively. The characters who serve as opponents include both genders, different ethnicities, a character in a wheelchair, and even an alien. The attractive background graphics represent the area of the world in which the game originates. Strategy Challenges Collection 2 offers potential for substantial engagement and challenge over time. As children's skills and game knowledge develop, they can return to the program again and again to play at higher levels of challenge and to learn more about game-playing styles.
