Strengths: Great resolution, Good pictures

Weaknesses: Limited sea creaturesneed to take much memory

Summary: I bought this software for my 4 year kid. It is a nice programing software with great resolutions, it give clear details for the sea creatures it included. And the pictures is also nice for us. The problem is this programming doesn't include many fishes because totally just around 40 creatures. In addition, maybe my computer is a kid of old, it take much memory to run this programming. Anyway, it is a good product so far.

Strengths: kids love it

Weaknesses: lots and lots of memory used

Summary: I've got it for the kids to play with it and learn about fishes and other aquatic creatures. As far as the original goal goes it was a great success, both the 6 and the 8 year old love it. On the minus side it really takes a lot of system resources if they let it running and not log off. Plus it tries to phone home regularly, something that I don't really care about, especially without notice. That's way you have to read your firewall logs once in a while

Strengths: colors,animation

Weaknesses: takes up a lot of resources,can't configure as much, not a great screensaver

Summary: I bought this product thinking it would be pretty neat and the kids can learn and have some fun with it. I was wrong. The colors of the fish and the scenery are pretty realistic but it takes a lot of my computers resources when running and it takes quite a bit of tweaking and configuration to change the environments.When I tried to use it as a screensaver, it made my computer work harder than the preinstalled screensavers.Overall it was a good concept, but since the original newness of it wore off the product is kust taking up hard drive space right now. The kids and myself grew bored with it.
