Product Overview
Rainbow Fish and the Whale is a fine example of an enjoyable interactive storybook that combines fun and education. Based on the bestselling Dorling Kindersley children's books about Rainbow Fish, the package is aimed at children aged 3-7 years. There are two difficulty levels, offering challenges for different age groups: easy for 3-6 year-olds, and hard for 6-7 year olds.
While all the enjoyment is taking place, children are acquiring essential early learning skills: colour recognition and sorting, problem solving, listening skills, hand-to-eye coordination, logical thinking, basic mouse and PC skills, and many more. Rainbow Fish and the Whale is an excellently produced package that is faithful to the graphics and tone of the original stories. The program is easy to load and instructions are included on the CD-ROM. The package maintains the high quality you would expect from Dorling Kindersley, and is guaranteed to give hours of fun combined with learning, whether or not players are familiar with the Rainbow Fish books. --Susan Naylor
Synopsis
One day, whilst Rainbow Fish was playing in the ocean, Hermit the crab hurried towards Rainbow in a state of panic – the whale had swallowed up all of their friends! Cautiously they approached the Whale, who had severe hiccups, and in seconds Rainbow and Hermit were inside the Whale’s stomach. And so the adventure begins…
Children join Rainbow Fish and his loveable friends in this enchanting adventure in the deepest darkest part of the ocean. By completing a series of puzzles, games and activities, children will gradually find all of Rainbow Fish’s friends, and together they will find a way out of the Whale.

To Understand the Future, you Must Understand the Past
Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops II propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare between old and new foes. In this conflict, the mechanized creations of men reign supreme, facing off against each other as their creators stay safe and unconflicted, and in the process grow ever softer. In this scenario an important question will be asked: What happens when enemy steals the keys? To understand such a possible future, you must understand where you have been.
Players of Call of Duty: Black Ops II gain an understanding of this and more through the game's additional timeline set in the late Cold War era of the 1980's. Within the campaign story, which spans these two eras, players will see familiar faces such as Alex Mason, his son David Mason, and Sgt Frank Woods. Linking these together will be the rise of another player in the conflict, Raul Menendez.
Features
* An all-new Call of Duty: Black Ops storyline featuring new characters and returning characters
* A unique single-player campaign that contains two time periods linked by characters and their actions
* Special Strike Force missions, in which the players action affect the outcome of gameplay and the overall campaign
* The inclusion of a Zombies in gameplay, both in as an option in multiplayer, and as a campaign option
* A variety of multiplayer modes and play options
