Kutoka Mia Science: Romaine's New Hat - Windows and Macintosh DVD

Mia wears her mother's gorgeous new hat without her permission and plays in the rain gutter on the edge of the roof of her house. Without warning a sudden torrential downpour washes her down the drainpipe. Mia barely manages to avoid going down the sewer, but her hat is swept away. Down the sewer it goes, where it is commandeered by the evil rat, Romaine and his wretched cousins. So begins the adventure. Mia must pick herself up, retrieve the lost hat, and then find her way home. As she pursues her quest, she negotiates hidden passages, scales heights not usually fit for a mouse, crosses streams, lifts heavy objects, and performs other feats. As in other Mia adventures, players will discover a story, a quest, and an adventure; while using a unique navigation system that provides Real-time control of Mia, allowing them to make their way through a marvelously rich 3D universe, seen from the perspective of a mouse. This title also includes feature-film quality animation, colorful and endearing characters and educational activities that are both enriching and amusing.
