Hermie & Friends Camping the Bug-a-boo way
SCORE: 96
Digital Praise is well on their way to becoming a legend in the
family friendly video game category. They have consistently released
high quality video games that are safe for the entire family. Their
recent Hermie & Friends series has been stellar for the 3 to 6 age
group. The recent release of Hermie & Friends: Camping the Bug-a-boo way
is sure to be a hit. This game has a direct tie in with the
exceptionally popular Max Lucado DVD Hermie and Friends: Stanley the
Stinkbug goes to camp. In many ways the Personal Computer/Macintosh game
teaches more than the DVD does. A video game can take the time to
include lessons in counting, and reading where it would hurt the flow of
a television show. The lessons do not end there in this game, for
sorting, problem solving, nature facts, similarities, and differences
are also included. Digital Praise also included themes of friendship,
tolerance, perseverance, and praise. After the player has built the
canoe, then some friendly competition is encouraged with the fire ants
over at Camp Hot Foot.
Graphically Camping the Bug-a-boo way shows some improvements over
previous Digital Praise Hermie & Friends video games. There are some
additional animations that are very welcome indeed. The all new mini
games are the most solid grouping found in any game that Digital Praise
has previously released. All of the characters are easily recognizable,
and children will squel in delight to see their favorites in this game.
The sounds, and music in Camping the Bug-a-boo way are very crisp and
clear. The sounds, and music all work amazingly well in this game. The
music is cheerful, and quite pleasing to all ages. There are also sounds
that encourage a relationship with God, and the teachings in the Holy
Bible. The only complaint in this department is the voice actor used for
Wormie. It is a different person than used in the television show. In
this game it is less noticeable than in previous games, so that area has
improved dramatically.
This batch of mini games in Camping the Bug-a-boo way have amazing
replay value. We tried this game on a child in the appropriate age
bracket, and he totally loved it. In fact we had to tell him it was time
to quit. Multiple saves are allowed so more than one person at a time
can play this game. This game is certainly worth the money in this
humble reviewers opinion.
One of the most creative mini games in Camping the Bug-a-boo way is
the Lucy’s Campfire Stories. This is an easy game for the youngest of
players, and one of the most pleasurable. The controls are very
responsive, and the design works well. This is a game that is seriously
fun to play for people of all ages. The younger gamers will appreciate
this game more though, but it is geared towards them.
Hermie & Friends: Camping the Bug-a-boo way is one of the most family
friendly video games this reviewer has played all year long. This is
also one of the best games for kids. It goes without saying that this
game is safe for the entire family. Family values, and a Christian world
view are taught within Camping the Bug-a-boo way. It was my pleasure to
play, and review this game. I am expecting even greater improvements
from Digital Praise in their next Hermie & Friends video game release.
