OceanLife: Hawaiian Islands reminds us of the days when educational CD-ROMs were little more than bins of QuickTime movies. The main draw of this program is David Fleetham’s stunning underwater video photography, which has appeared on the cover of Life magazine and in National Geographic.
Unfortunately, the awkward interface presents almost nothing beyond a transcript of the video clips’ narration. There’s no mention of species beyond those in the video clips, so when the narrator says, “The green sea turtle you see is now the most common sea turtle in the Hawaiian islands,” what’s he comparing it to? The application’s menu bar — meant to appear only when you move the mouse outside the program window — often simply flickers or remains dark. We encountered a variety of lesser interface glitches — there’s no visual cue indicating when the navigation buttons are nonfunctional, and paging text stutters the audio.
For $50, we simply expect more.
