Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Armchair adventurers relax. With the Become a World Explorer CD-ROM children can obey the call of the wild and see the world without leaving the comfort of their home. Once loaded, it's possible to whizz around the world in almost 80 ways with this fun and feature-packed CD-ROM learning adventure. As soon as you've filled in the virtual passport, you're off. The first stop on any interactive globe-trotting adventure is Sam's bedroom--it's perfect for click-happy kids with animations that come to life when you hit the objects scattered around.
For beginner backpackers, a talking train gives a guided tour of how to find your way around the world, and what a choice there is. You'll find video clips, an interactive index, a country finder with each nation's flag and a wide range of fun games that test skills such as general knowledge and compass directions. A ringing phone launches more adventurous travellers straight into the globetrotting game that displays the strongest aspects of the software. Clues based on geographical sights and sounds lead players on an interactive journey around the world. Along the way, the players' knowledge of capitals, continents and customs are tested in a totally involving way with three difficulty levels encouraging repeat visits.
The beautifully detailed animated maps with pop-up info boxes and sticker book links are an impressive feature, as are the virtual postcards. And although the amount of features may mean younger players require some initial help, this superb software combines learning with plenty of fun and will ensure numerous repeat visits. --Martin Oliver

you'll be amazed at what they learn from this one,
By miranda lilley (Royston, Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Become A World Explorer (CD-ROM)
Of all the software my daughter has, this has to be the very best. At 4 years old she is able to identify all the large contries of the world. It is jam packed with some much information that it's one they will not grow out. Different countries, National flags, landmarks, capital cities, native traditions, animals, plants - learning made so much fun. I've brushed up on my geography skills too!a must buy!!!

Fantastic!,
By Nicola Whiting (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Become A World Explorer (CD-ROM)
My 5 year old son, with only a little help is able to go round the world at his computer! He already knows the continents and most of the countries played with. The interactive animals and buildings etc are brilliant with facts which are read out to you, leaving little for adults to have to help them with. He has learnt so much from this package, I recommend this for any children at any ability/ age range and will be using it with my year 3/4 class at school.
