The whole concept of making choices is neat and would be good for entertaining kids.
That said, one issue I have with the presentation of choices is that Bear doesn't really explain the pros and cons of each choice. Plus he sometimes leaves out critical information and you only learn it after you make the wrong choice.
One example is when you are given a choice to go through mangroves or razor sharp vegetation. It would seem a no-brainer to pick mangroves because that's better than getting stitches. However, the mangroves ends up in a failure. So I started over and choice the razor sharp vegetation. This time Bear reveals a secret trick for getting through the vegetation without getting cut up. Why didn't he say anything about that trick? I would've chosen the razor sharp vegetation in the first place.
Another problem, which is not a big deal, is that it obviously is scripted but they pretend it's all live. One way I can tell is they somehow get perfect camera angles for "unexpected" events like dropping a machete. You would only get that kind of footage if you knew ahead of time it was going to happen.
Despite the above issues it is good for entertaining and educating kids.
