Video Games : Sesame Street: Elmo's Number Journey (PS)
Rating: 
- Very good for the price
Elmo's Number Journey is appealing to all junior Sesame Street fans. Elmo travels through different 3-D landscapes peppered with large numbers that your little treasure must find. Elmo likes finding the right numbers! He also gives you a few chances if you make the odd boo-boo... depending upon the level chosen: easy, medium and hard.
Upon completing the chosen levels, Elmo rewards the player with a bonus round that's just for fun.
The package is a straightforward numeracy learning tool, but does suffer some limitations : navigating the curly paths can be very hard to comprehend for a child already spatially aware - to follow a path bending off to the left Elmo merely has to be steered forwards and will turn along the direction of the curved path as a train follows a curve. The child may be confused by this unnatural steering, and will most likely choose to steer leftwards with the controller pad, with undesired results. This can be frustrating for both the child and parent until the child is better acquainted with the game.
However, if your child is new to video consoles and/ or PC software, this may be beneficial by removing the need to steer.
Overall, Elmo's Number Journey is a fun and educational addition to a PlayStation collection. My three-year-old son's a little more than keen on it ...
