    2 out of 5 stars Beware, the Activity Center versions are not whole game   January 28, 2008
    Shopper
    The Activity Center versions of the Magic School Bus games do not have an accompanying adventure. It is very open-ended, just click on buttons and play mini-games. My son lost interest very quickly. If your child likes an adventure/mission/goal to go along with the game, I think there are versions of the Magic School Bus that have those, but not the Activity Center versions. Don't pay full-price for an incomplete game.

    Our 6 year old is a huge MSB fan to begin with. He has movies, books and now CD's! It has given him a closer, hands-on experience. There's enough to do that's challenging and fun and its pretty easy to figure out the first time or two. Its really brought the stories to life.


    5 out of 5 stars Entertaining to even the youngest PC-ers   August 5, 2004

    My son is 4 and he has been playing the MSB cd's ever since his dad got a job at Microsoft :-) He loves to click on the different things to see what happens (for example in the Mars game, you can click on a marshmallow, a water bottle, an egg and a watermelon, in turn, and see what would happen to them if they were put on the surface of Mars). (They all explode. He loves this.)

    Highly recommended, educational, entertaining, and a great companion to the MSB TV show.

    Three selections for $16.99!! Not a better bargain out there! Parents this is a steal... Your kids will have you wanting to learn while they explore these three selections. Promise you!

    Whales, dolphins, volcanoes and Mars? Turn of the Cartoon Network and turn on your kids to something worthwhile!! You won't be sorry!

    I'd like to preface this by stating that my 6-year-old plays this package daily ? after his homework. He installed it by himself, so my opinion is that those who say it?s difficult to install need to look at their system resources. He loves the graphics, sound and the activities. I once read a review that this package is not user-friendly and I say, baloney. I say this because he doesn?t ask for assistance when using this software. All he complains about is not having all the MSB titles. There is no main menu to show you how to navigate through the CD and many of the screens do not feature an "Exit" icon to allow you to exit the program or return to the main menu, but who cares? I want my six year old to figure out these functions for himself anyway.

    He is not very PC-savvy but he knows the basics of PC?s. And, he does use other software easily. I wonder if some of these negative reviews are making mountains out of molehills. I?m know I'm not overlooking something obvious here - so what's the problem?
