Strikes actually aren't that hard to achieve if you know which ones to go for. Specifically, take your time for Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (It's the second island from the left) and zoom in if you have to.

I only play for the challenge so i'm done now, but this tip might help alot of you out there.
Most browsers can zoom but I have only tried with FF3, using ctrl and + will zoom in the screen, the game area included, so you get a bigger map.. ctrl and 0 to reset..

Not all of the placenames are in english, for example cairo and Al-Qahirah (or something similar) are the same place I think.

the map is too small to make fast and exact positioning, even if you know exactly where it is, it takes time to 'aim' hitting with a 0km area is more luck than anything else..

realy realy nice game! Like it alot! The only hard part is that i don't know all the Countries in English... which makes it hard with some of them... IF you know your geografic it's a good size map^^

This game picks the worst, most depopulated cities on the planet. No one would ever single these cities out in a study of global geography.
Ouch

Great game minus a few minor things which have already been mentioned. All complaints might be traced to an undeniable lack of geographic knowledge and / or the will to learn :)
I must admit I had to learn some african states. Shame on me!

Excellent Game!!! Gets all those "Men"'s brains working while their Mothers are yelling at them to move out. While others have actually learned what the world is actually like. Congratz on a great game!!

Does this game give a blank screen after you hit start for anyone else? I thought I've played this before, but it doesn't seem to be working for me right now

2033 Omg this game is nuts it's random guessing and everyonce in awhile you'll get some place you know but jump too fast and miss it completely

Very well made. The only reason this game doesnt have a full five stars is because most people can't tell Africa from Europe from a hole in certain places. Absolutely delightful! easily worth hours of fun unless you are, indeed, an 'ugly american'! XD

I got a strike on Pearl Harbor :D I didn't manage to get a strike on my home city though, missed it by 20 and the next time 34 miles.
I agree that the point system is stupid though. It should count by hitting the country correctly, not just miles. I click a nearby country and I get more points than hitting a correct one but missing the city by more miles :-/ Plus getting more than 100points you need to be extremely accurate, which is silly. It should give more points for missing by 100-200miles or was it km?
In general though I love the game, just the point system is dumb.

If you click fast enough you can manage to pass first or second level by just clicking the right half of the world map really..

The game and concept is good, but the places are horribly cramped together. Along with that it gives such a wide arrange of these "famous cities." I would be surprised if someone actually knew all these locations, and I say congrats to them. Along with that you should have given practice levels or something so people won't have to guess randomly when they don't know a place.
