Rating: 5 stars
Summary: world explorer 2.0
Review: i think this game is very fun and good for educational purposes
i would definatley give this a 5 out of 5 i like the way you make your own passport

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Globetrotting made easy
Review: My son was 4 when he tackled this program. He'd was glued and wouldn't want to budge until he had completely filled his passport! You are given a huge map of the world, complete with landscape and landmarks , continents, countries and major cities. You can even use the magnifying glass and zoom in on an area for more information. For the "passport game" you are to search the map for any boats or planes that will take you from one country to another. Click on the plane, for example, and you will be told where you are travelling to and the flight time. For each journey you take, a visa will be stamped in your passport. Fill your passport with all 19(!) journeys and you will earn the title WORLD EXPLORER and get a certificate! In another game, you must search the map for flora, fauna, landmarks, etc. to fill a sticker book. There's also treasure hunt game and a snap game. I think my son was a little young to appreciate all the information that was available, but he felt challenged to finish the passport or sticker book by the narrator's positive feedback and encouragement. Older children will enjoy the chance to explore what looks interesting to them (graphics were DK quality and the clickables were great fun!) at their own pace.
