Boring Game!!!

I was excited to play this game with my children. We love the Oregon Trail, we can strategize, hunt, fish, gather, pick our party, shop for supplies, change our course, view our course and have continuous updates on progress, health, etc. We can quickly jump around to check all of the above. The graphics are great, and the program always manages to surprise. In short, the Amazon Trail possesses none of these qualities. It is slow, boring, and somewhat confusing. As my daughter puts it - "You are always doing the same thing." Even when you go exploring, it takes a while for the scenery to change. We have played this game for hours and not gotten anywhere. We have explored the guide book, and gotten little useful information. The graphics are blurry, and you have to manually adjust the screen resolution to see what you are doing. The interactive guide is boring, and there is no opportunity for change, strategy, or drama. This game is a waste of money and time - unfortunately I spent full price. DON'T BUY IT!

Good info, bad game.

This game contains interesting and accurate information about the history of the Amazon region. However, this is the only good thing that I can find to say about it. It is almost devoid of the stategic elements that make Oregon Trail enjoyable, and it's buggy to boot. It's good it's availible for under five dollars from the marketplace sellers, because any more than that would be highway robbery.

Hmm....

This game is fun at first but it gets boring after a while. I don't really understand how to play! It doesn't come with any instruction manual or anything.

Fun, but buggy

i'm not sure if it was just me or what, but all three computers i have tried it on, it didn't work very well. it crashed constantly. i got around it by saving my game a lot, but it was still annoying. if you look beyond the crashing, it is pretty fun, but it also installed without sound. given the fact that it is so cheap, i think it would be worth while for you to try it, but beware the potential bugs.

Great game, also need some help...

I loved this game, but unfortunately I lost it somewhere along the way. The game is interactive and rather lengthy without getting boring and monotonous so that it actually feels like you've accomplished something when you finally beat the game.

I was wondering though if someone who has the game would be willing to help me out by posting a list of the game's diseases from the guidebook. I can't think of the name of one of them and it is really bothering me. I think it started with an M. Any help at all would be appreciated. :)

I LOVE THIS GAME! The dialogue is ingenious! They do brazilian accents so well! AND THERE IS SO MUCH ACTION! The literary qualities rival that of Gustave Flaubert. They have a realistic depiction of the geopolitical struggles that underly Latin America as well as the historical routes.

great seller
