Surprisingly, this is a sequel better than the others. The bad guy actually wears a shirt. I say that Gillian Barker was Gill dressed up like a woman. Rolo the Clown must have read too much Emily Dickinson. I was dissapointed by the music on the CD. It only contained one Beatnik song and the rest was music from different locations of the film. It was nice to see some old characters and meet some of Gil’s family.

This is a cute game, but not the best for a 4 year old. My grandson is very intelligent, and also computer savvy, but the clues are very vague to the point of being nonexistent in some cases. It becomes tedious and frustrating for a child this age. We’re going to see how easily his 13-year old sister solves the puzzle! I don’t think I would buy another Freddi Fish CD.

I have always loved Freddi Fish, and was positivly thrilled when I found out, years ago, about this product. I loved it so much that, when my disk broke, I literally asked for Freddi Fish for my fifteenth birthday- but that might just be my own craziness.
This installment lives up to the name. I’ve never been a very good judge of educational value but this seems to fit the bill, with a wide variety of puzzles- a memory game with tide pools, a battle-ship style mini game, and a tricky revolving bookcase.
As for fun, it doesn’t get much better than this. This game has a wide variety of challenges, along with some really cool missions sure to thrill any adventure-seeker. Couple this with delightfully quirky characters, a few old friends (Yay for Casey!), a fritzy taffy machine and a walkie-talkie that tells jokes, and you have a winner.
Freddi Fish remains the ready to help fish we know and love, and Luther is funny as ever.
I have only four qualms with this product. First, in the other games it’s often fun to talk with the characters you meet, but in this game they often return like a broken record to the problem they want you to fix. It’s really annoying.
Second, one part of the game isn’t very clear. After helping everyone I could find I chased my tail in circles until my dad figured out what to do next. I just couldn’t figure out what to do with the sea cheese I’d found.
Third, there are only two ’settings’ for this game, or two ‘adventures’ if you will. In other words, the adventure does not change every time you play because there is only one other thing for it to change to. In other titles, there are several items you need to collect, and those have a few different ’settings’ so that it really is, most often, a different adventure each time, unless you play it a lot like me, heh heh, but not this one.
Fourth, if you buy this game, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES READ THE MANUEL. It reveals all the solutions. Well, maybe not all. Pajama Sam 4 and Putt-Putt’s birthday surprise were worse on that front. But it still reveals a lot.
But none of these complaints should be enough to stop you from buying the game, and I’m not sure why I complained about them, then. Maybe in case the manufacturers are reading this. Not that they can change anything after the Atari take over. Good thing those clowns kept their hands off Freddi Fish.

This game is directed towards an age range of about 4 to 7 and 8. By about 9 they are beyond being interested in Freddi Fish. Any younger than about 4 and it is too difficult for the child to play.
Freddi Fish encourages problem solving skills as you try to solve a small mystery. You collect shells and use them to trade for other items. You use these items to make a creation to help solve the mystery. You talk to other fish and ask questions and search for things they want and so on.
You can swim anywhere you want and talking to one fish is not dependent upon you finishing another puzzle elsewhere. Of course, there are some areas you can’t enter unless you have the items you need for trade.
Altogether, this is a cute little game that has seen many hours of play time by my children.
Enjoy.
