Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

This is a geography quiz for one to three players, based on 2000 questions taken from the National Geography Bee in Washington DC. As in many trivia games, each player selects a representative like "Kung Fu Stick Man" or the "Buck Toothed Mona Lisa" and is assigned a "buzz in" key on the keyboard. A question is read, and the player who hits the key first must answer the question. Fast, correct answers win points, while incorrect answers cause points to be taken away. All of the questions come from the National Geography Bee. We would have liked more control over the content, like the ability to zoom in on specific topics.

This review is from: National Geographic Trivia Trek 2002 Geo Bee Challenge (CD-ROM)

This is a hilarious geography quiz game from National Geographic. Your hosts are Buzz Bee and Reginald. You can pick wacky characters to play with, such as: Pogo Kitty, Toxic Lump, Turbo Squirrel, Snaze (sp?) (I mean really big nose!) Worm, Buck Toothed Mona Lisa, and other wacky characters. Buzz Bee will pop up in-between the usual geo questions and throws a silly one question game at you. This game makes geography (one of the most boring school subjects, to me at least) fun! And I'm not just saying that. The writers had a ton of fun making this game, especially when writing jokes for Snaze (sp?) Worm. They ran wild with the nose jokes (ran, nose get it?) Just get this game and see what I mean.
