Unintelligible voice commands detract from this game
We bought this game because we already had and liked Jay Jay Earns His Wings. This game has an identical interface. There are several activities that must be accomplished in order to do one final activity. Before starting each new activity for the first time, an "animated" sequence is shown with the original character voices (their mouths move and that's about it). After completing all activities, the reward is getting to play and compose music on the "Sparkleberry tree." There are three skill levels to choose from.The activities focus strongly on phonics--letter and sound recognition. There is also a spatial component (steering Herky in a maze), and some color recognition. One major problem with the activities is that there is no way to have instructions repeated, and many of the commands are difficult to hear. "Find the letter that makes the sound...." and you are left wondering, Was that a T? a D? an E? My 4 year old son and I BOTH had trouble understanding the instructions, and we have no problems with our sound system. Unfortunately, you can't move ahead on the game without getting the right answer, so we had to choose between making random guesses until we got it right or exiting.In the end, my son was also disappointed with the "reward" of being able to play music on the Sparkleberry tree at the end of the game. This type of activity is featured (and better executed) on many other children's computer games. He was hoping for something to color or print out like you earn with the Jay Jay Earns His Wings game, which I'd recommend instead of this one.

Just like the TV show, Jay Jay is still a hero!
A fun program that my nephew has enjoyed for weeks. The activities keep him coming back over and over and the theme of helping each other and conservation are messages that it is never too early to expose children to. Like the Jay Jay Earns his Wings program, this one is a winner. Where can you get the Sky Circus program I see listed as discontinued?
