Editorial Review: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Become a World ExplorerThis software if full of bugs. We have received 2 patches from GSP but the system still freezes part way through the actual World Explorer game. Our son loves the game but gets so disappointed when the system just stops without warning. I wouldn't touch this product if you are running WinXP. Rating: - Become a world explorerDo not buy this CD ROM if your computer is loaded with Quicktime 4 (as mine is). I bought this item since it was supposed to play on Windows XP, but it does not play with new versions of Quicktime. Total waste of time and money. I gave this to my friend who had an old computer. Rating: - Don't buy itSimply doesn't work. My PC is clean - installation of this product and another from same supplier have failed. Painful waste of time and money - It's going back to Amazon by return post Rating:  - Frustrated Mother of a 6 yr old......Just bought this for my 6 yr old daughter. My initial worry was that the game worked with XP and read other reviews first. It loaded with a bit of difficulty, but you could enhance the game by having internet access when installing. Or this was the impression I got. Without a connection to my daughters computer, I figured we are missing out somewhere along the line. Finally began a game, and my daughter started to work her way around the countries. But after 10 minutes it crashed. We ...

Although there are some movie clips which break up the monotony, the game is essential static. You move a rectangle around on a world map to arrive to a certain area, or click an airplane to travel to another static map of a new country. One feature allows you to navigate the map once a regional area is open, however, if you utilize this feature more than once (clicking "North" twice for ...
