Reviews of The Oregon Trail - Nintendo 3DS

Customer Ratings:

I was so excited for this game to come out. I waited for it for months... sadly it's not as good as the original. The most disappointing part for me is that they've added a time limit. And if you don't complete the level within the time frame then you have to start the level all over. What happened to the good old days where your character would just die of dysentery or snake bite?

When I got this I was hoping for scenarios where educated decisions would be the core of the game. All this amounts to is a driving game... with oxen. Medicine fixes anything whether its illness or broken limbs. Hunting is alright and not much different from past versions. The interaction has been dumbed down to drudgery or frustration with little to absolutely no educational benefit. If the original could work on a dinosaur like windows 95 I don't see why they couldn't just remake that for modern hand held systems.

Best Deals for The Oregon Trail - Nintendo 3DS

When I was a kid, I had 1996 Oregon Trail on my computer. This was always one of our favorite games. I also played the 3rd edition when I was younger, which included fishing.

The major difference with this game is that it includes a new element where you need to steer the wagon to avoid hitting obstacles, which damage your wagon and oxen. This adds a little more action to the game. If you hit too many obstacles, you will need to rest so you can repair your wagon and so your oxen can heal. You also have the ability to customize your wagon with different colors and patterns.

All the old bits of Oregon Trail are there as well: Choosing a profession to get certain advantages, naming your family members, buying supplies, hunting, fishing, gathering, trading, illness, regulating wagon speed, stopping to rest when your health is dropping too low, and of course there's also trying to arrive at your destination as soon as possible in good health and with plenty of supplies to get a good score.

All in all, I find it to be a very enjoyable game at a great price (I paid $12.65 new). There are a couple different story lines and levels to complete, including some levels that occur in a later year, which means you can expect tense relations with the Indians.

Honest reviews on The Oregon Trail - Nintendo 3DS

I got this game today, and after playing for almost an hour and a half, I have to say it's pretty neat and nice! I bought this game because I love the Oregon Trail so I thought it would be good to get the 3DS version of the game. The game didn't come out exactly like I thought it would be, but it's pretty great! Shipping was fast and I pretty much like the game! Glad I got it.

Thank you!
