All the comments from ugly Americans in this comment thread are hilarious. Apparently, only cities in the US are famous. :D

Dude! You just completed the Attractive American achievement in Globetrotter XL and won the Attractive American badge and 30 points!
Cheeeeayuh...Level 10 kicked my ass so many times, but I finally managed to rear it.

COMPLETE bs that the 75-140pt zone is around 1/4 the map, yet anything over 300 is literally sub-pixel a lot of the time.
Oh and next time pick cities people give a f$@k about and put them in the right places? Obscureton, shitville is not something to put in round 2, if ever.

If the game's going to penalize you for not clicking directly on a city, it really should have the correct locations. Nashville, TN is east, not west of Lake Michigan and Indianapolis, IN is not directly under Lake Erie. It's bad enough that many of the cities are obscure enough that the best you can hope for is clicking on the correct country, but it's really irritating when you know exactly where a city is located, but the game docks you points because it has incorrect info.

This is an awful awful awful awful awful hard game. I personally feel I am a very cultured person who knows countries very well, but the scoring system is so biased, that unless you click within about 1/3 a centimeter from the "precise location" it only gives you about 120 points. The game more revolves around luck in hitting the exact spot so you can get the "300" or so points and advance levels since you cannot seem to get past level 4 (or 6 at times) in a normal game.

oh, it would also be nice if there was some reward for scoring well after you've reached the level to advance. I hate it when I double the required amount to advance for level after level but then just miss the next cut off. Some carry over would also even out the randomness of difficulty (sometimes I get so many known locations that I get to level 9 or 10 with no trouble, then on my next game I'm out at level 4 after getting all very difficult cities).

would be nice if the map was a bit larger. makes it hard to pick the right spot even when you know it.
also think nailing the location of some x-stan village in the middle of asia on a map with no countries borders should be worth a bit more than finding london in the first round. Also I can barely see some of the smaller islands.

I was surprised, it WAS fun. It's hard to be accurate on the smaller countries, and smetimes a really weird place can throw off a good run completely. But apart from that, yeah good! I learnt loads!

This is simply a stupid memory game, and a poor one at that, play enough times till you know the places by memory.
And the map is still to small!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The map is so small, that especially in small countries, its impossible to click the precise spot even if you know where it is like your pockets.

Fun game, and an education that a lot of people need. The biggest problem I'm having is the names of some of the countries - it didn't take me long to figure out that this game was not made by a native English speaker. An idea for a future option would be to "translate" the names of some of the countries into other languages and offer an option at game start to use them.

Fun game, but a little off on some cities. Last I checked, Tennessee was not part of the midwest. Fun Geography game though, so 5/5.

To all of the whiners: ignorance is not an excuse to rate this game poorly. I gave it a five star rating even though I could barely get 3/4 of the cities.

icefur that's the most stupid, ignorant thing I've heard all day. Why does everyone think this game is so hard? all you need is a good general grasp of geogaphy and you can do almost all the levels

This game is bull. Most of those countries in Africa aren't even going to be the same name in like 10-20 years from now, so seriously, stick w/ countries in just Europe, Asia, NA, and SA, and some of the well-known countries in Africa that will stay the same like Egypt, seriously <
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Haha, it asked me somewhere in Africa and I just randomly clicked and got a strike. Ive only got to like level 8 though so far. No borders makes it really hard.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It said some random place i had no clue about but i guessed it was in Africa, i click randomly in the middle of Africa and get a STRIKE!!!!!!!! WTF
