Fun fun fun [Posted on 2006-04-11]
I was very happy with this game- it took the bets parts of the previous Oregon Trail incarnations and wove them together for a good overall product. I can appreciate a company which recognizes both the weaknesses and the strengths of their products and uses this information to get better. In this Oregon Trail you can once again chose how many you will travel with and name them (for some crazy reason this feature was eliminated in the 4th Oregon Trail edition), but you can also CHOOSE the times you stop to collect wild fruit or fish, instead of these circumstances just happening randomly (which does not make as much sense). To me, these were the biggest changes to previous games, but they were improvements.

Aside from the above changes, the basics of the game remain the same, and it will look familiar to those who have played other editions. A few things have been updated, particularly some aspects concerning Native Americans and some geography, but the good times still keep rolling.

Realistic, Fun, but still has some quirks [Posted on 2006-06-03]
I love the game! It's very realistic and fun. But sometimes when I play it, I never get past the original city to get my supplies. DO NOT follow what your trail guide says about getting suplies. You always end up getting too much. When your out on the trail, make sure you have a gun and the stuff you need to work it, fishing gear, and plenty of vegetables. When you run out of meat, you'll need to hunt a lot. Be sure to gather a lot too. Especially right before winter, you can't gather then.

Oregon Trail 5 [Posted on 2006-11-14]
My daughter is enthralled with this game. She enjoys making the decisions necessary to successfully navigate the Oregon Trail.

The Oregon Trail is good for the whole Family. [Posted on 2008-05-19]
This game was purchased for one member of the family but quickly became the families favorite for time spent on the computer. My 13 old son even gave up Star Wars for awhile to make the trek to Oregon several times. The mix of history and forcing the player to plan the trip made this game fun and educational. This was well worth the small cost of the of the game.
