* Seeing [http://www.amazon.com/Vivendi-71092-JumpStart-3rd-Grade/product-reviews/B00004TLO0/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_summary?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending the reviews of the game] brought up something that bugs me, specifically the mini game mentioned in the review a parent gave where their child was driven to cry by Polly's [[Jerkass|piss-poor attitude]] (not hard to miss as now it was dubbed the "most critical" review of the game in said link, although [http://www.amazon.com/review/R1FCG0TSPY90AT/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R1FCG0TSPY90AT here it is if you can't find it]). The art mini game has pre-made clip-art among your arsenal in making a commission for Polly to get either the Mission Clue or spare Invention Points. However, you can make a cheap doodle to a work of the Gods, it doesn't matter that you took the time to draw as convincing an image of a cow skull as possible, Polly will only recognize you made her a picture with a cow skull in it if you've used a clip-art of one readily at hand. Now, I understand how hard it can be to make [[Artificial Stupidity|an AI capable of recognizing what you did]] enough not to lead to either [[Unwinnable Byby Design|you having to draw a picture absolutely perfectly by tracing an image you've never seen, much less can replicate]] or to [[Game Breaker|draw something as simple as a single dot that the game can't recognize as being wrong or right and therefore lets you have it for the hell of it]], but if it was just going to lead you to using clip-art to make an image according to what Polly wants without nagging at you, [[But Thou Must!|and Polly always makes a request when you enter the Art Gallery even at a time she shouldn't even be there]], what was the point of giving you all the tools worthy of a dummied down MS Paint when there really isn't a point to use it without being told your head is in another planet by a certain brat?
