Excellent game. 5 stars. My only complain is that Malvinas islands are called "Falklands", i find it deeply offensive, as a southamerican... While the developer has put many cities in their original language, countries, it seems, are kept for English. And Falkland Islands is the English name for archipelago.

I wish you could choose to end the level, or have the cities move over to the next one. Say if I got 99x5 on the first city of the first level...
It'd be nice for trying to get past higher levels.

Yes, there is a place called East London in South Africa. Try reading an atlas, or alternatively just bash yourself in the head with it until you don't give a crap any more.

Sometimes the places are annoyingly out of the way. I consider myself pretty well versed in geography but you're talking about some of the most unimportant cities in the most unimportant countries. I know where most of the countries in Africa are but not the damn cities... so yea, hard hard game but all memory. Also the scoring system is really really harsh, don't know how good that is.

DAMMIT I hate this game...It's so freakin' difficult. You should really turn down the difficulty somehow. Only reason I'm playing is for the card.

This is a great game to learn where the hell places are, and which regions border.
I've learnt a lot from this game, and I will continue to. They should offer this in school!

Kinda luck-dependant. Sometimes I usally get to around lvl 7-8 but sometimes I stop at lvl 4.
I was 10 km from spiking Miami twice in the same round.

ok, I take A few things back, the game gets easier after you've played it for a few hours but the scoring system isnt always accurate =/
