2.0 out of 5 stars Not so hot, December 15, 2005

This review is from: World Explorer (CD-ROM)

Not as wonderful as expected. Simple interface is more for the very young child. Nice graphics and very easy to use storyline but way to simple for my 3rd grader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very educational for my 4 & 6 years old, July 28, 2008

This review is from: World Explorer (CD-ROM)

In contrast to the previous reviews, we actually had an excellent experience with the CD. First of all, we ran the software on our old computer with Windows 95 without any problem. Furthermore, my 4- and 6-year-old sons both enjoyed learning facts about different countries (some of them I didn't even know, like the capital of Finland). If you like learning geography and other cultures, this is a great program!

1.0 out of 5 stars Software with a lot of bugs, October 9, 2007

This review is from: World Explorer (CD-ROM)

This cd-rom has a lot of bugs and uses extremely old software. I ran into problems with Quicktime, even though I un-installed my newer version of Quicktime and installed the older version. Thereafter I ran into another sound decompression problem. If you google this at a UK Amazon website, you can read about the other complaints other users have.
