Shane Jury writes "Junior Classic Game's target audience is the only demographic that will get any kind of enjoyment from it, and whatever they do get will be fairly limited. There aren't any multiplayer modes of any description here, unless you count passing the DS around to take it in turns. There is a medals system of gold, silver and bronze to consider, but there is no incentive to strive for them. Higher difficulties don't merit repeat play, as any difference is minimal, and there aren't any unlockable secrets to find. All of this adds up to a game that even the young will quickly bypass for a stronger product."
NWR writes: "Disguised as a trip to the jungle, Junior Classic Games is an educational title meant to cater to the elementary school crowd. As a 30 year old reviewer without children, it is difficult for me to gauge the educational value of such a game, however having played several games in the same vein as Junior Classic Games, I feel fully qualified in saying that while the game might have some educational value, it falls far short in terms of presentation and overall production values."
GamerDad writes: "Junior Classic Games is a selection of familiar activities for early elementary school-aged children. It's like having your very own activity book right in your Nintendo DS."

If the little'un is being a pain as you wander round Sainsbury's and you see Junior Classic Games for a fiver, you could certainly do worse. For a rainy day, it'll provide some entertainment for a limited period of time. However, the repetitive gameplay will probably stop most kids really engaging with it, and the educational value is debatable. A budget purchase only.
