Description:

Cosmic Family brings a whole rocketful of fun and games from their home in the rocket to your child at the computer. Cosmic Family In This Rocket Anything Can Happen... is a fun, delightful, colorful program for children. Children can have fun exploring the various floors of the family rocket, clicking on hot spots, and learning.

Cosmic Family features a family and their pets, along with a variety of other creatures big and small that make this program full of surprises every step of the way.

Features:

  • Investigative skills
  • Many hotspot animations and clickables
  • Fun mini games and coloring pages
  • Logical reasoning
  • Memory recognition
  • Pleasant music

Technical Aspects:

Cosmic Family installed without any problems. Program ran smoothly. Only thing missing was real words as people spoke in jibberish. A person with auditory difficulty could play this title but would miss out on some of the sound effects associated with the program.

Report and Conclusions:

As in other Ubi Soft titles, this program features pleasant music that parents can enjoy. My 5-year-old is enjoying exploring the 5 floors of the rocket and finding new surprises every time he visits. He always thinks he has found all the hidden surprises. His favorite little activity was watching the little girl turning on the bathroom faucet on hot to wash her toy and seeing the father turn blue in the shower. She then turns the faucet on cold and the opposite effect takes place. My son was learning "cause and effect" from this activity and was able to explain it to me. There are several games throughout the program that included paint pictures, sewing or washing socks and fitting them on one of the strange creatures, memory games, shadow matching, and many more.

Cosmic Family can land a rocketful of fun in your home and should keep your child entertained for hours! Blast off and grab your own rocket!
