This is a cleverly put-together set of resources for learning French. The games are thoughtful and even fun and the speaking section does recognize words pretty well.

The drawback is that while this is excellent, it is an excellent *supplement* to other instruction in French. What there is on grammar is limited, and there isn’t a lot on why things are the way they are.

As a vocabulary-builder, though, it is excellent and I would highly recommend it.

Overview

Discover how enjoyable, easy, and effective learning French can be. Included are a games CD-ROM, accompanying guidebook, audio CD-ROM, user’s manual, and direct access to SmartStartonline.com. Start speaking, listening, and reading right away. There are 32 games and activities with three skill levels to keep you involved and learning while you play. Progress through 48 lessons based on the interactive CD-ROM conversations. Clear and simple explanations of grammar points are provided along with exercises that help you successfully put your new language skills to use in the real world. Take the self-correcting quizzes to check out your progress. Or stop by the Cultural Café for a relaxing break and find out about a great French film to rent or a new recipe to try out. Correlated to the guidebook exercises, this CD-ROM provides listening and speaking opportunities that get you talking. Great for practice on the go.

Review

We’ve had lots of fun with this game – it’s neat to sculpt in 3D and play with a 3D mickey mouse. It’s not exactly like the other cool Magic Artists, this is maybe good for older kids because they can understand how neat it is to create art in 3D!

Overview

The problem with sculpting in clay is the mess, and if you’re a parent, it takes nothing more than hearing excited voices shouting, “Play-Doh!” to raise the hairs on your neck and send you scrambling for the cheap tablecloth. The idea, then, of a virtual clay studio is appealing–all the creative freedom kids want, with none of the mess.

Disney’s Magic Artist 3D satisfies that creative hunger, at least to a large degree. Designed for the younger set, this basic 3-D modeling tool lets kids build shapes of their own, apply textures, group objects, and manipulate them onscreen. It also includes a modest library of such prebuilt shapes as a cow, dog, couch, doghouse, fence, wagon, etc. Any shape can be added to any scene, and then colored in a variety of ways–by using a paint bucket and a color of your choice, or by selecting a predefined pattern. Adding a striped design to a 3-D cow is always fun, especially when it’s standing on a cow-patterned couch.

The highlight of the program comes by adding Mickey Mouse himself to a scene. While this isn’t an animation program, Mickey has some animated actions of his own–adding him to your creations and pressing the play button makes him do things like throw sparkles into the air.

The soundtrack and sound effects are first rate–good speakers make a nice difference, too. Interesting and fun sounds reinforce the selected tool, helping you to remember which tool does what by differentiating it both visually and audibly.

If you’ve got a little one that’s dying to make things with his or her hands, Disney’s Magic Artist 3D may be just the creative outlet you’re all looking for. (All ages) –Mike Caputo

Specifications

Disney’s Magic Artist 3D is an entertaining, fun, and easy 3-D art tool for the kid in everyone. Create your own 3-D characters, scenery, or objects and morph them any way you like. Choose the color, the texture, the camera angle, and set your creation in motion. You can save your masterpiece as a movie, greeting card, or postcard–or even export them to your home page. Just pick a shape or draw your own freehand in real 3-D. Twist, squash, splash, spatter, and smooth your shapes into amazing 3-D objects. Resize, spin, pull, and push, like using your fingers to shape putty. Scan in photographs and mold them onto objects. Change their textures into wood, clay, and metal. Pick patterns such as translucent stars or huge polka dots. Animate your creation simply by dragging the mouse across your 3-D objects. You can save it as a movie, a greeting card, or a postcard–or post your creations on your Web page.
