This MMO designed for young children, features a colorful interactive world, mini-games and activities -- as well as the ability to chat with friends online. Chat is moderated to allow kids to communicate with friends in a safe environment. Registration is free for the Basic Membership, which limits you to only 15 mini-games, limited upgrades of vehicles, and a limit of five friends. Of course, you can upgrade your membership to Premium, which gives you instant access to: all in-game resources and monthly updates; all in-game vehicles; different designs of your vehicles; all in-game awards, as well as more friends in your friends list. Prices for the upgraded membership are $4.95/month, $12.95 for three months, or $24.95 for six months. The game does not need to be installed. You start by registering your name and password, and provide a parent's email address. An email is then sent to the parent giving information about the game and its safety, along with the information the child has provided. Once you give your consent, your child can then start exploring Driving Kids. The game is set in a city, and you explore while riding a skateboard. The city is filled with games to play and places to discover. You can upgrade your vehicle, or buy a new one -- such as a scooter or Segway -- using in-game money that you earn. Activities include logic and problem-solving games, puzzles, math and calculation games, and more. Games can be played alone or multiplayer, and new games are added each month.
