Under rating threshold (hideshow)
If you just don't like the U.S. in general you shouldn't give it a low rating cuz of that, it's a game for ppl to rate after playing it, not because of what it's based on...That's like someone giving a meat cooking game a low rating cuz they're a vegetarian (for example)

To give the game a low rating just because "not everyone lives in the stupid U.S." is ridiculous. Everygame is catered to specific people. Otherwise, why not rate a game low because "not everyone likes stupid shooting games" or "not everyone likes stupid puzzles and knows how to solve them" or "not everyone is good at finding the differences between pictures".

A funny game, got 100% good answers, even though i dont live in us and i dont like it , but its hard because "not everybody lives in the stupid US."

That was...well...fun. It teachse people geography too, which is good, while having fun at the same time. Me? I know my states, identified all of them =) Great game dudeeeeee. 4/5

I think the 2.90 average rating for this game is a little unacceptable.
I understand that if you live outside of the US, this could be rather difficult, but this is still a great, educational game. 5/5.

Nice concept but someone not from the US has a hard time recognizing state shapes... should've gone for countries instead.

@Greg: Last year I was in a US History class, we had three exchange students. Two from Germany and one from some other place (i kind of forgot). They all knew more than most of us did about both the US and every-other country in the world... so I think your right ^.^

I think countries (maybe separated by continent?) would be more interesting because they tend to have more distinguishable shapes.

I agree 100% with greg. XD
It's hard to know all the almost identical square shaped states if you're not a US citizen. Knew some states and a few capitals, but just 3 nicknames.

nice game. btw, its not just for americans, we just do better the first time around. :P
Anyone can learn it after a few tries.

Regarding those who think it should have been based on countries... To be fair, non-U.S. citizens probably know about as much about our states as the average American citizen knows about other countries.

Pretty fun. Hard to name them cause i'm not american but I could guess the easy ones like New York, Hawaii etc.. Nice educational game for young 'uns.

Good idea. But the questions are too difficult for me. I live in Taiwan so I couldn't answer any sub-questions. Make a version about the world countries next time and it would be 100x better. :)

a bit jumpy, and charging us for time it takes to fill in the scan-tron circle seems a jip.
But I like the concept, even if I sucked at it. Nothing wrong with more educational games. :)

3/5: Dang, just missed being first. Anyways, cute game, but make sure that there aren't two possible answers for a single drawing (i.e., Connecticut looks too close to Montana without any scale for reference, and of course, Wyoming & Colorado)

not really a fan of draw type games and i find it hard if your on a laptop since quite a few times a laptop mouse doesnt like to work with you but it was well made so 3/5
