this is a terrible game
I would give this game zero stars, if the rating system allowed. I bought it for my son. We cannot figure it out; he plays for a short time and gets a disease or some other catastrophe and the game quits and has to be re-started. There is absolutely no customer support, no information for parents. We have not been able to figure it out, and it's too boring to spend any time trying.
I strongly, strongly recommend against purchasing this game. In general, my son has really enjoyed games from The Learning Co., but this is by far and away the worst game I've ever seen. We also tried Amazon 3, hoping it would have some system of help or something, but it was just as bad.
Total waste. Don't buy it. zero stars.

A good game basically with too many technical errors
The original Amazon Trail was a fun game to play, if it worked. It featured gameplay that was challenging, educational yet engaging and feesable for children. However the following points must be made:
a) Certain sections of the game are difficult to master, and possibly difficult for those of many ages.
b) Frequent technical glitches disrupt gameplay. It took ages for me simply to get the intro running, and the game froze in annoying places. Unless you are a techie, be prepared for frustration and difficulty.
c) The makers of the games were over-ambitious. The game is both too long for the concentration spans of young kids and the graphics and animation were not good enough to support some of the demands of the game, hence the freezing.
As a basic game, good. Actual gameplay is difficult occasionally.

This game rules!
