 Big problems with this game., 2007-09-04
This game is getting a very high rating by reviewers. Problem is, the reviews shown are NOT for this game! Many reviews are talking about teaching typing, coloring dalmations, etc. None of that applies to The Emperor's New Groove. There apparently are other versions of "Activity Centers", and reviews shown are for them.
Emperor's New Groove doesn't run on Windows XP, not even in compatability mode. I downloaded the patch required, and parts run, but not all. And the parts that run are very dull for anyone over about the age of 4. I got the game for our 6 year old, and it's not in the slightest bit challenging or entertaining. One of the game sections won't run at all, even with the patch. Even if this game ran perfectly, it would bore a normal 5 yr. old, so I can't imagine how they rated it for up to age 8.
I don't think Amazon should be selling this. Come on, how many people haven't ugraded since Windows 98? The only kids who would enjoy this game probably live in a third world country where computers and possibily electricity are novel inventions. Amazon and/or Disney should check into donating the games they have left.

 Good, but only up to Win98, 2005-10-02
I got this for my children and it seemed great. Very shortly thereafter I retired the old PC they were using and upgraded (to a PIII 500) so I could safely give them limeted Internet access. Part of that upgrade was to use Win2K Pro for web security. None of their Disney CDs are compatible above Win98. Good software but incompatible in the new millenium. "Disney... surely you can do better than this." (And please do.)

 YAY!!!, 2005-08-02
I love it! The best part in this game is the coloring studio. The dalmatians look good if you put more spots on them or black. This needs a sequel, only it will let you draw spots on the puppies.

This is the best..., 2005-07-31
This is the best typing program ever!! I loved that they used Timon and Pumbaa. It was so fun and entertaining for us kids, well still teaching us. I learned to type in a week or two because I could not stop playing it, it was so fun!!
Great...if you can get it to work, 2005-07-07
Excellent program. Fun, and kids actually LEARN! However, it's full of bugs - no pun intended. It is a big disappointment when it doesn't work.
