Superkids gave the game a score of 4. This is the last game in the software series to be based with the books from the original series books.
The first game to not be based with any of the books is in the next of three games the next game The Magic School Bus Explores the Rainforest. Frizzle is missing three photographs from her photo album of her last trip to the age of dinosaurs and the user has to find replacements.
There are seven different places, including 'JurassicColorado' and 'TriassicArgentina'. This game has very elaborate CGI forms for the bus. Although the classroom location song has changed in the following games, the game's classroom location song is the same as The Magic School Bus Explores Inside the Earth , but had added more rhythm in between.
Also, in this game the user can replace previously saved data on one of the files when all 6 have already been saved. Microsoft donated copies of the game to high school students via the University of Maine Upward Bound Program. The class is decorating their classroom for 'Rainforest Day. Frizzle takes the class on a field trip to the Costa Rican rainforest to find the missing bio-clones. This is the only game where Ms. Frizzle's middle name is mentioned.
It was also the last one created by Music Pen. While Tina Marie Goff continues her role as Ms. Frizzle in the software series, this is the first game in the software series to replace the original voice actors of the eight children from the television show. In this game, the user has to find all the four missing animals from the incorrect habitats and send them back to their own habitats where they each belong.
Unlike the previous games, the user enters his or her name before playing the game instead of creating a file within creating a face on the Driver's License screen, and the save option was removed so the game is automatically saved when quitting the game. When traveling to certain habitats, one of the children is transformed into an animal, e. Arnold becomes a bull frog in the swamp. Bangor Daily News said the game 'is jampacked with unusual animals, interesting information, games, puzzles, and experiments'.
The replacement voice actors from Animals continue their roles in this game, in which pairs of the children have designed biodomes for a contest, but each pair has lost one of the bugs from their projects.
The player's task in this game is to find a specimen of each of the four missing bugs in one of four natural habitats. In each habitat, one of the children transforms into a bug, e. Keesha changes into a luna moth in the forest. Ludington Daily News praised the game for its high quality engaging multimedia and accurate information. Players can manipulate experiments to cause their own virtual volcanoes, or pan for gold in one of the six mini-games.
Six class reports help to bring the new concepts together in a useful way. When Arnold discovers he is missing some of the rocks and minerals from his collection, Mrs. Frizzle decides to take the class on a field trip to replace them. The group will board the bus and travel to various places around the Earth, including the Grand Canyon, inside a geode, at volcanoes on the earth and undersea, in a cavern, and at a fault to look for the replacement rocks.
The interface is point and click; travel is accomplished by clicking the gear shift in the front of the bus, selecting a location and pressing the GO! From outside the bus, the cursor will change to a drilling bus or an airplane bus in some locations, and can be clicked to travel to another area.
When Arnold discovers he is missing some of the rocks and minerals from his collection, Mrs. Frizzle decides to take the class on a field trip to replace them. The story is similar to the one on the PC but the gameplay is different. Two of the bonus games are heavily based on Asteroids and Breakout respectively. The kids are transforming their classroom into Dinosaur Land for Parents Night, as they are studying dinosaurs. Ms Frizzle then gets a letter from an old high school friend who is now a paleontologist and she decides to take the class on a trip to the dig.
When she discovers that they are missing the bones of some Maiasaurs, she turns the bus into a time machine to travel back to the age of dinosaurs to find the bones. The class sees dinosaurs and learns the name of the different periods of the era and other information.
The episode's main aim was to show that dinosaurs weren't all terrifying monsters, like movies often make them out to be. The book shows all the time periods but the television adaptation shows just the Cretaceous period.
All three time periods Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous were seen in the book. Unlike in the book which focuses with all the time periods , the cartoon adaptation only focuses with the Cretaceous. This version shows only the Cretaceous because it was due to time constraints. Time constraints forced this version to show only that period in order for the episode The Busasaurus in the TV series to be up to 30 minutes like all other episodes.
In this episode, the kids visit Ms. Frizzle's old friend, Dr. Carmina Skeledon at a dinosaur dig, as opposed to Jeff in the book. Skeledon lets Arnold see a fossilized dinosaur egg that Ms. Frizzle finds as the kids are leaving, and he still has it when they go back in time.
The kids watch as they entered the Ice Age and finally end in the Cretaceous. Having gone back '67 million years, give or take a month or two', as Ms. Frizzle tells them, the kids are frightened away by the appearance of large, long necked dinosaurs called Alamosaurus well, actually a titanosaur.
