Summary: MAJOR glitch makes this toy a huge DUD!!
Comment: My kids got the starter kit 4 days ago and have since gone to 4 different stores looking for new characters. At $5-$8 a pop they have purchased 7 new ones in just 3 days. They have been hooked-until today. Immediately after the Login process a screen pops up asking you if you want to create a unique user ID for chats etc. If you select "no" it tells you that you will not be able to participate in many features of the product. My 10 year old decided to go ahead and create this new user ID. It does tell you at the end of the process that this will replace your old login info..no problem right? WRONG!! At login only original user IDs are available for selection, you cannot type in this new ID that was just created, therefore you can no longer gain access to your acct. After searching the website & google to figure out how to fix this, I discovered this is a universal problem with the system & there is no solution. The only thing I can think to do is reinstall the software which will force all 3 of my kids to start from scratch. And we will still have to deal with the pop up at login at the beginning of every game. With my 5 year old playing this game, I am sure we will find tgame (aside from the fact that you have to keep buying new characters to progress in the games), but today I say, my kids wasted a whole lot of their money & I hope they will consider returning these to the stores!!!

Summary: Fun, but narely tolerable on older computers
Comment: I got this for my son, who uses an older Windows 98 machine. It refused to work at first, until the website support eventually got it working. (After needing to install an unzip program on the Windows 98 machine. PKUNZIP is proprietary, Mattel!)

He enjoys it, but he doesn't realize how incredibly slow it is. If he ever sees a friend playing it on a faster computer, he'll get sick of it instantly. Characters crawl along the screen. The program is a total system hog, which is probably okay for Gigahertz-level CPU's, but not for the older computers that families tend to pass on down to their kids.

Summary: Happy MOm
Comment: I bought this for my son for Christmas. He loves it! I didn't have any problem installing it, worked like a charm the first time. I even took it to a friends house he had a playdate with, and they installed it no problem. I bought a bunch of them at Target for $4.49. He still loves Webkinz, but these are so much more economical. The ages say 8+, but he is only six, and plays with it no problem.

Summary: PIECE OF JUNK
Comment: My daughter was so excited to receive this for Christmas. First, I paid in extremely inflated price for the product on Amazon. Secondly, it would not install. I did everything the booklet told me several times to no avail. Evidently the USB port and device did not work together. I tried everything imaginable on my computer and online. All of this while my daughter cried. I never did get it to work properly and thought of buying another one to try again. Fortunately I read other reviews and found that I am not the only one experiencing this problem. We will not be buying more of this product and will be going back to Webkinz. Tried and true. Don't waste your money and sanity on this product.
