JumpStart Pet Rescue for Wii: review


Jamie has been a fan of JumpStart (online) for a while now but the computer the kids play on is very slow and needs to be looked at, as JumpStart now takes more than 5 minutes to load, the record time was 15 I think.
We couldn't have been happier when we were sent the JumpStart Pet Recue for the Wii by Knowledge Adventure to review. Jamie now finally got to play at it's fullest.
Well, disaster struck again, when JumpStart was in the Wii Console, the Console crashed and it damaged the CD.
The console was sent away and fixed and Jamie can still play the game up to the point where he can play on the pet stage. That's where the disc is damaged. So all in all still super fun, my kids play all the games on the disc except for the pet stage.
