 Software has problems, DO NOT BUY!! June 10, 2010
Shoe Lover (AL-USA)
I bought this software for my 5 yr. old son from MysticSoftware (a seller here on Amazon). The seller states the software comes in a CD sleeve (which is true), but the CD sleeve looked kinda old & used. Makes me wonder if this software really is new or if it was just cleaned up to make it look like new. Also, the directions are on the back of the CD sleeve. No paper work came with the software @ all. I just didn't get a good impression of the packaging & my instincts were right. I've learned my lesson & I will not be ordering anything else again that does not come in a sealed, brand new box with the paper work.
We ordered it on 6/4/10 & received it in the mail on 6/9/10. While we are satisfied with the speedy delivery, we're not satisfied with the software. My husband who builds computers, could not get this software to run. It kept giving him a sound error, saying the sound was not installed or is damaged. The weird thing about the installation process was that it would go to 40 % & jump to 90% in about a second. It's as if it skipped installing the sound files of the software altogether. We went to the DK website & found no support for it. We tried finding a patch for it online & nothing. We tried everything to try to make this software work & nothing worked. I am sending this back & requesting a refund immediately. We were really looking forward to playing this software. Unfortunately, for my son, we received a defective software & will not be able to even try it out. It just won't start. DO NOT waste your $ on this software. Save yourself the time & trouble.
 A wealth of well-presented information and videos January 15, 2005

Perfect for kids to learn about the human body - all descriptions of various body parts, games, little videos that shows growth or demonstrations movement. My 5 year old is looking like a genius learning all the names and functions of his body parts. He particularly love the videos. I own many DK software, such as the Science, History, World, USA Explorers, but the Human Body Explorer seems to top them all.
One note: kids can get tired of this school-like drilling of information. I give my son a small reward each time for playing this game and other DK games to keep his interest up. He retains so much of the information that it is amazing. DK is a wonderful company, and their software don't disappoint me.
I have Windows XP; this game is for the older windows, but I don't have any trouble running it.
