    2.0 out of 5 stars OK for kids but not reference material, 12 Dec 2003
    Human Body looks like a repackaged early Win95\98 multimedia title. The multimedia gimmicks are a main feature and tend to obscure the actual material. Chief annoyance is a strange 3-D console that runs very slowly on my PIII but there is a menu bar at the top that you can use instead.
    The actual material might be OK for under 13s and is a rather confusing mix of medical facts, medical practice and history. There are a few nice models but these are rather simple. Also things like a muscular picture of the body describe the muscles in generic terms such as back muscle and you don't even get commonplace muscle names like quadrucep.
    The internet links are about 20-30 general links and not of much interest.
    Only avoided 1 star as the models and simulations may engage kids but not GCSE level or adults. Don't take any notice of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica" branding.
