Time Riders in American History Education Social studies
Rating: 8.75 (24 votes)
Another outstanding edutainment title from The Learning Company, Time Riders in American History teaches the history of the United States in such a captivating way that kids will not realize that they're learning something :) Designed for ages seven to twelve, the game's educational content is much deeper than the ever-popular Where in Carmen Sandiego? games, with many photosgraphs, interesting anecdotes, and colorful historical characters. As in most other games from TLC, mini-games are arcade-oriented integrated with historical facts, and not too difficult. As always, on-line hints provide ample help for young historians should they get stuck. Overall, another great underdog that was sadly overlooked. Thumbs up!Reviewed by: Underdogs
