© 2012 Elastico Srl
How do pull kids into Greek Mythology and make it interesting? The Voyage of Ulysses contains 26 screens full of innovative interactive strategies to let you explore each page. The techniques let you drive the action, and do a nice job extending the story. For example, you can touch the city of Troy to set fire to buildings, tilt the screen to steer Ulysses' raft through the ocean, or touch the screen to uncover the next page of text. The traditional index has been replaced by a map. Features include the ability to toggle between Italian or English. This is the second in the "Books to Play" series from Italian-based Elastico (www.elasticoapp.com). The first was Pinocchio.
