    Reader Rabbit 2 is a 1991 educational video game, the sequel to Reader Rabbit and the fourth game in the Reader Rabbit franchise. A facelift was given to the game's predecessor to match the graphical fidelity of Reader Rabbit 2.[2]

    Gameplay

    [edit]

    The game can be played with the keyboard or a mouse. Set in a location called Wordsville, the game contained four word-based minigames.[2] Players are taught about vowel sounds and how to construct sentences.[3]

    Reception

    [edit]

    Heidi E.H. Aycock of Compute! praised the game for demonstrating how educational games could be as visually and aurally stunning as other genres of video gaming.[6] Game Players PC Entertainment reviewed the game as a solid choice for young players at school and home.[7]
