 Good Educational Software, 2003-06-10
Great software! Travel through the Revolution side by side with reporters James and Sarah. Once you think you have gathered enough quotes, come back to the print shop and print your story. Then, depending on how good your story is, you get a certain number of subscriptions. (ex.:600, 550, 500, etc.) But beware! Some parts are harder than others. Sometimes, to be able to interview people, you have to run around town trying to find stuff for them. (ex.: a bayonet, a jackknife, a loaf of bread, a quill pen, a map, a telescope, etc.) This is a great game, very fun. Now I know more about the Revolution than practically everyone in my class. The only downside is that when you have played the ENTIRE SEVEN LEVELS OF THE GAME five times, it gets a little boring. If a friend has it, ask to borrow it. If you find yourself playing over and over and telling your friend "No, I don't have it, I'm still playin'" or "Be patient, would ya?" , then it's time to put it in your ... shopping cart and GET IT, QUICK!!!

Good Educational Software!!, 2003-05-27
This is fun. It's great educational software. The only problem is that once you've played everything about 4 times, it gets boring.

 Homeschooling US History, 2003-05-01
This is a fabulous find! Both our children (boys) ages 10 and 12 1/2 loved this, they actually fought over who's turn it was. Like all the software from the Learning Company this too is a great program. Best of all they could watch the PBS show and then review things or go more in detail, they loved being a reporter themselves and searching for clues, just like the animated characters on the show. We've beaten the program now and want them to make another, more advanced version. Can't wait until the Liberty Kids shows are on DVD... great family entertainment!

Liberty's Kids Rocks, 2003-03-24
I am a 5th grader and my sister is a 7th grader. We worked on this game for days and days. It teaches you a lot and it's fun. It's so much fun, my sister and I stayed up till 11 p.m. to try and finish the first round. I would suggest getting this game if you're not doing well in history. It's a fun way to catch up on the Revolutionary War.

Mesmerizing, 2003-01-17
My 10 year old can't stop with this thing. He received it for Christmas. Graphics are fabulous, sound is great. This product really makes learning fun. Why couldn't we have had this kind of product when we were kids?? The perfect gift for a kid who loves to learn.
