JumpStart 5th Grade

Описание: Note 12/23/2017: I made this video when I was young and it has tons of quality issues. If you're looking for video quality or for a clean commentary-free playthrough, I highly recommend you look elsewhere. If I recall correctly, this was the first video on YouTube to feature extended footage of this game, but now there are lots of other options. That being said, I still hope you enjoy the video if you watch it!

Original description:
JumpStart 5th Grade is not the best JumpStart game on the block, but still quite interesting and pretty fun. It stars Jo Hammet, Kid Detective (or if you ask me, Kid Bomb Squad) going on missions to stop the evil Dr. X from blowing things up. (Yes, a kid stopping a madman from exploding buildings in a 10-year-old's game...) Along the way, you'll learn/practice quite a lot of age-appropriate math, a bit of history/geography/art, thinking/puzzle skills, how to play a video game, and not much else. (They TRY to teach other subjects, but the execution leaves a bit to be desired. The grammar game is MUCH too easy to possibly teach anything to a 5th grader. But they do teach math quite well, I must say...the math sections are just good ol' fun educational challenges, if ya ask me.)

Unfortunately, this video is pretty poor, because the audio got messed up in several places, and I accidentally compressed part of the video too much, making the video quality hideous for most of it, and blah blah blah...you get the picture. It's just not a great video, sadly. Hopefully, you'll be able to deal with it, because I'm probably not going to redo it. (BUT, if there's enough demand, I'll think about it.)

By the way, in the video, I seem to indicate that I'm going to make more videos showing what happens later in this game, but actually, I probably won't. No new activities are EVER introduced aside from the ones in this video; you get different situations and higher difficulty levels, but overall, there aren't enough changes to warrant another video (in my opinion, anyway). The only reason I'd want to do so is to show you the entire plotline, which would be quite nice, but I don't think it's worth it...just play it yourself if you want to see everything that happens. The game is very cheap on Amazon or eBay!
