Jake's Treasure Trek
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's It About?
JAKE'S TREASURE TREK includes three worlds -- the jungle, the desert, and a volcano island, each with 15 challenges. Jake needs to collect as many gold doubloons as he can while staying ahead of Captain Hook. He needs to dodge obstacles and collect power-ups as he runs, swims, and flies and sometimes even zip-lines down a vine or slides down a mountain. Kids have to beat Hook to the finish line to unlock the next level, but they can replay levels if they lose or to collect more points.
Is It Any Good?
Excellent graphics and right-on voice-overs and narration from the show will entertain Jake and the Never Land Pirates fans, and play is easy enough for preschoolers to navigate it successfully. The cool features and power-ups add enough excitement and challenge that older kids will enjoy it as well. Jake zip-lines across jungles, swims with fishies, and slides down mountains, gaining speed as he goes -- and delighting players. With three worlds offering 45 levels, there's quite a bit of content to explore, too.
