Wish it was longer

This is a really fun game. It would be much better if the story was greatly expanded and you could ride the rails forever, instead of going home after 30 days.

I love your games, the only thing that I would like is it you made the flash games that are no longer available into games on either your site of here. Other than that your games are amazing and. Very educational.

An excellent addition to the series

I’ve played ever single episode of the Mission:US series so far. I am not a grade school student, but just a person who both loves learning about history as well as interactive story telling. And I have to say, this is the most polished game produced in the series to date. It covers a setting often forgotten in the greater context of more flamboyant events in history: life in a dust bowl farming family during the depression. And it does so in a way that really allows a person to relate to the events at hand, particularly during a rather tragic event in the game that I won’t spoil for anyone else. I loved playing it, learning from it, and gaining a new appreciation for history. Everyone should pay this game, especially since it’s free anyway.
