Amazon.com Product Description
Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber are taking the Veggie kids to Veggie Island on a Cub Sprout camping trip. Junior Asparagus needs to earn his merit badges, and he needs help. But the trip takes a turn when the Cub Sprouts' canoe drifts away. The only way off the island is with a motorboat, but the Veggies can't find the boat's owner. As kids search for the owner, a mystery unfolds, and they discover everything from pirate maps to secret hideouts and buried treasure. Then, in a very Veggie turn of events, kids learn a valuable lesson about helping others.

 Not for preschoolers June 2, 2008

This isn't a bad game, it's just too hard for preschoolers. My son is almost 5 and couldn't play it. Heck, I couldn't play it. For 3-5 year olds, I liked Jonah much better.
XP or 2000 watch out March 13, 2006

I have had great difficulty getting this game to run well on win2k or xp...tried on several computers. Often get crashing on the intro scenes. Of course it was fine on 98, but after I upgraded things became difficult.
Good for what it is. December 30, 2003
VeggieTales: The Mystery of Veggie Island is a good but not great game. I wish the ratings alowed for 3.5 stars, but it's closer to a three than a four. The pros include (1) the characters themselves from the shows and movies, (2) a good exploration/adventure story based game where you hunt for clues to solve a mystery, and (3) kids unlock bonus Silly Songs by beating different levels. The bad is this: once your child beats this game (1-2 hours of play - tops), there is zero replay value. Unlike Freddie Fish and other childrens' puzzle/mystery titles which vary the clue location and order of play, this game plays the exact same way each and every time. I really like the Veggie Tales concept, and my kids enjoyed the 90 minutes it took them to beat this game, but they've never touched it since they tried to play it again and realized it's the exact same game with all of the clues in the exact same place. It becomes a mystery game with no mystery.
EXCELLENT Game November 18, 2003

My 5 year old son loved this games so much he couldn't stop playing it. It only took him 2 days to finish it though so it is short. But it hasn't stopped him from playing it again and again. The adventure is great as I've played it with him. You have to put some thought into finding things and where to go next. Excellent graphics as well.
 Way too short December 31, 2002

I agree with everything the other reviewers have said about this game's good points, but it has one HUGE issue... this game is REALLY short. My 4-year-old son finished it in less than an hour on Christmas Day. That's it? He enjoyed it enough to play it over again several times, but I felt cheated. The pictures you see on the box are pretty much the entire game. I think there are less than 20 areas, some of which only take a couple of minutes to get through. As good as the game is, it hardly seems worth the money. I suggest going to the Big Idea website for some FREE Veggie Tales games instead. My son still spends more time on that website than on this game.
