Reviews for "Earth Rock Hunter"
pretty awesome
the game was awesome overall i just didnt like the questions. otherwise...KICK ASS!
Very creative
not bad...not bad at all. Even though it wasn't full of gore and sexual content, I enjoyed it.
Too easy!
That's all.
Could have been more effective...
Although an OK game, this one suffers the same fate of most 'edutainment' titles that have appeared over the years: the fact that the game has nothing to do with the educational aspect, but is rather a basic shooter with quiz questions in between the levels. If you want to make a game to teach something, the learning should be an aspect of the gameplay. That way, people will actually remember things as they get better at the game.
For example, if you want to make a game to teach people about rocks, you could make a physics-based game where you find different rocks in the places that they could be found in real life (different depths underground, volcanoes, etc.) and where the physical properties of such rocks (hardness, density, etc) could have some impact on the gameplay itself. Like, you have to use harder rocks to break certain obstacles or denser rocks to weigh down pulley systems. Just a few ideas I'm throwing out there.
As for the game itself, it's decent. But nobody who isn't already interested in geology will remember anything they learn from this game...
