Customer Rating: Summary: Great! But could get a little scary! Comment: The game is great! You get to explore the mouth,esophagus,stomach,liver,kidneys,brain,skin,heart and lungs. You can even play games,transform the bus and do experiments. You can also pull out the periscope and the "Arnold-Vision" screen to see how he is doing. And if your "Bony," this game is for you,because you can connect bones back to the skeleton. The only drawback is an unexpected ending sequence. If you put the volume too loud the player might get scared! Customer Rating: Summary: very very educational for kids Comment: In my day health class was the most boring place to be but with this kind of game, kids will love it so much because this game makes learning all the more fun and is presentable in an age-appropriate manner to them with all their graphics, colours, music, facts and so forth Customer Rating: Summary: why wouldn't you love it? Comment: Ok, I'm about 11 1/2 years old and I have grown up with the magic school bus. Watching,playing,reading, I'd never let any of these go. I feel that buying the magic school bus human body is a great choice for the msb lover. I was a little dissapointed when my windows xp wouldn't run it in the way I used to enjoy it, but if you run it on a windows 98, traveling sequences will be full screen, the way that I used to view it. The graphics for the game are good quality, and these are a keepsake considering they are so very rare to find now, I'm lucky I still have my old games and are playable. The games are awesome and quite challenging. Sure I'm saying this because the magic school bus is one of the best things that happened in my life, but these games seem incredibly hard to find these days and they will become valuable in the distant future. To keep it short, (which I haven't done this entire paragraph) if you and your children want to be able to learn ahead of the other kids who could care less about what I'm saying and have fun with lovable characters and experiment without the mess, go ahead and buy this unforgetable keepsake. Customer Rating: Summary: Loved it!!!! Comment: When I was 11-12, my best friend had this game and we played it all the time. I became fascinated with the digestive system because of this game. It actually lets you travel down the large intestines (so cool to a kid). I am now 22 and have thought about that game many time as I study anatomy and work in an Emergency Room. I am so glad that I can have the game for my own nostalgic reasons. I highly recommend this sofware. Kids will be enthralled with this game. I know I was (and still am). Customer Rating: Summary: Mother of inquisitive 4 year old Comment: As with most MSB CD's, my 4-yr old found this to be a very exciting adventure. The CD takes you through all parts of the body. He has learned about all the parts of the body and the various functions they perform. In fact, as we eat these days he explains to me the whole digestive process. Only negative I, as the parent, found was you have to change the color format on the CD to 256 color in order for it to work at all (thus the 4 stars). Aside from that, I would highly recommend it!
