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!

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 <

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.

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

' I'm an American and I find it hard to find American locations. It's not through lack of geography either. There are no state lines on the us map so when they call out for Las Vegas or somewhere like that I have to guess where about Nevada is. I think it would benefit everyone if the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Mexico had state, and region lines.'
its actually true, americans are so self obsessed, they have a true lack of knowing where they are in the world.
evidence of their incompetence is above. oh and i'm not from US and i can find american cities pretty well.
5/5
