BEST GAME EVER

2006-03-18
We have it and it is so fun I love playing it! It NEVER gets boring. I play it for HOURS everyday I can.

Good Game

I am over the age to be playing this as it says on the box, but I still find it very interesting and play it when I'm bored and just feel like playing something. The fact that I beat the game before has kind of taken out the fun of not knowing what will happen next, but when I first bought it the game was challanging and exciting. I recomend it.

Software Freeze

The software freezes when you try to look up information about a country. Very disappointing to the kids.

Not wanting to stop playing!

I just love this game! I don't even want to go to bed at night at all! I want to buy this game but I can't find it!

very interesting

Even as old as the game is now, and how long ago I bought it, I still have the urge to play it every now and then. It is addicting and educational at the same time. It isnt too easy nor too hard which is why my little brother adores it, loving the cartoon-like characters that he gets to direct. Technically, the game is good. I had no trouble installing it on several different machines, and there were hardly any problems playing it. It's definetly worth the money.

Great but need to update the software

I purchased this for my 9 and 10 year olds as a supplement to help with their homeschool geography lessons. They absolutely love it. I have to tear them away to get them to do their other work. The only issue is that it does not seem to be compatible with later versions of Windows (XP - in our case), so the program frequently freezes and requires a restart which is very frustrating for the children.

My inner child

Used to play this game when I was little, so I thought I'd take a stroll down memory lane. It's not as exciting as I used to remember it, but it still brings out my inner child.

Garbage

Not the original Broderbund version. The learning company sux. It isn't worth the dollar. These nice guys sent me 2 separate disc's(same day) so they could soak me for 2 shippings of 6 bucks each. Absolute garbage. Never deal with these guys again. Anyone know where to get the version I had 12 years ago. Broderbund's site no good...

This game would have been better if it came with directions so you would at least know how to play it and not have to guess at everything. I finally figured it out though.

The graphics aren't fancy, but the educational opportunities with this game are great. My 7 year old daughter loves this game- she likes to speak words in all different languages and she knows now where Crete is! I like the kinds of games that teach my kids while they are having fun and this one does just that. (I'm learning a few things as well!)
