common sense media says
Great educational content; slightly dry gameplay.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this overtly educational game will certainly help kids bone up on their world geography, but that the game is very challenging. Parents may need to remind their children that they are not expected to know the answers right off the bat, but that by practicing and reading through the "Geopedia" they will get better at the game. Parents should also know that despite the cover claim that the game is for grades 2 to 8, realistically, it may be over the heads of kids on the lower end of that spectrum.
Educational value:
There is geographical information here that will increase the knowledge base of any player, child or adult.
Positive role models:
The game sets a wonderful example, encouraging study and test preparation, rewarding curiosity, and presenting education as fun and enjoyable.
Ease of play:
You need to know some hardcore geographical trivia to succeed at this game, however, all the information is available to learn through the game. So if it's too difficult at first, you can use the game itself to cram for your next session. The game says it's for grades 2 to 8, but the lower end of that scale seems a little young for the level of questions asked.
