It could use some improvement, though. For example, I was asked for 'Washington, USA'. So I clicked on Washington state in the Pacific Northwest. Well it wanted Washington, D.C. 3000 miles away.

Geography HAS to be my absolute worst subject; but this game could actually be helpful in improving this weakness. Great game!

You know it would be nicer if the whole damn world wasn't compressed into the little play window. It's almost impossible to position the cursor on the correct country some of the time. Maybe divide it into continents or something. Also, a nice thing especially for continents with a million countries (Africa) to have them named on the first couple of rounds. Or at least have a reference section in the game or something.

ive seen 4 canadians complain that the cities aren't accurate... Oh well. Besides, the map is really small. What if they are accurate and you aren't? I would personally only play for the badges or cards, but don't- no matter where you are from- complain its not accurate. It can't be and it would take months probably... to get the EXACT spot ;)

made it in 22 of L.A. How the hell could you get a strike? Pretty hard to get closer than that when a single move of the mouse can push you 30.

Despite being bad at geography, I completed the challenge and was 300 of from level 5, and I wasn't really paying much attention on lvl 4! If I'ld looked at what the medium badge was I may of been able to get it.

It'd be nice if it offered some sort of history of your scores. See how you improved etc... I don't even know how it is scored, but level 5 is as far as I've gotten so far.

Azure, who said he didn't have permission?
For a big game like this i bet he probably had to sign some contracts and stuff to use this music.

Argh.. got all the way to level 10, but since borders aren't shown, they give you only 4 seconds, and the cities are superbly obscure, i failed. WILL TRY HARDER.

I REALLY hope some of the scoring is on a curve other than strictly distance. For instance, if it's *only* distance, you can get a lower score clicking in the wrong part of Russia, for a city that is in Russia, than clicking Brazil, for a city in parts of Africa.

also - isnt it illegal to use other peoples music in your games like that? i mean, its not like you have permission to use any of them.
