The problem with this type of game is one of translation. What works on TV seldom carries over to the computer without major re-writes. Unfortunately, Blue's Birthday Adventure is like so many other early multimedia experiments. My daughter knows the drill by now. Daddy gets a new game.
Daddy puts the game in the computer.
Imagine my surprise when we couldn't find the coloring book for this game. I read the manual and found that the coloring book was on the second CD and must be found by playing along with Blue, solving one of her problems. That didn't suit my daughter one bit. After watching Blue and her friends dance around and chat for a while, she was ready for another game. The activities are fun and quite clever.
