Adventure Gamers: With several popular series like Pajama Sam and Spy Fox to its credit, Humongous Entertainment was once “the” name in point-and-click adventure games for children, and is beginning to become one again thanks to new console ports of their games. Freddi Fish and the Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds, targeted at children aged 3-8, is another such game.

These point-and-click titles have an appealing 2D cartoon format and can be an ideal "starter" set for young gamers. This set has a profound and popular history on the PC and Mac before this latest remediation. Interaction works well with the Wii remote (no nunchuk required) except when accessing item inventory at the bottom of the screen.
The autosave feature interrupts game play, but can be adjusted in two of the games. Players can skip animated cutscenes by pressing the – button, but then they would miss some of the funniest moments. Players can interact with several objects and move by selecting the edges of the screen or navigation markers like arrow signs. The characters' mouths don't always match the dialogue and the audio can be hard to hear at times, but the easy levels make progression a breeze for young gamers. So take a leisurely pace and enjoy these easygoing adventures with beneficial puzzles, side missions and problem solving challenges."

"It seems like another lifetime when my then-seven-year-old daughter and I would sit down at the PC and fire up one of the Humongous adventures featuring Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam, Spy Fox or Putt-Putt. The puzzles were not overly complex, but there was such joy in the way the adventure played out, combined with colorful and entertaining graphics and a sense of joy that underscored the experience. And though not complicated, there was a sense of accomplishment that pervaded the solutions of even the most rudimentary puzzle."
