Sesame Street: Countdown is an educational game that's exclusive to Nintendo's 8-bit home console.
+ Bonus Rounds are a neat concept for learning basic mathematics, especially the visual guides in the Barrel & Jar game.
+ Audio clips are incredible in their clarity, as well as the personality they inject into the gameplay and presentation.
- Stage design plays it safe with cyclic layouts and little that will excite, captivate or surprise gamers as they progress.
- Not as many audio guides as Sesame Street: Big Bird's Hide & Speak (1990, NES) to help players learn the mechanics.
- User interface could have been clearer, as using bat icons for mistakes and lightning bolts for passes isn't intuitive.
- Despite the game being predominantly aimed at young children the manual is overly wordy and confusingly repetitive!
