Complete U.S. History (1500-1895) combines three interactive, comprehensive software programs on the historical beginnings and growth of the U.S., from the founding of America to the Wild West experience. The software teaches history interactively through a multimedia platform, using movies, role-playing, historical photographs, and other primary source materials.

In Founding of America, experience the true colonial experience by role-playing four different characters with unique backgrounds and goals in life as Americans. The role-playing simulation covers American history from 1630 through 1820, and the decisions you make as your chosen character are based on real American historical challenges of the time period. You decide the fate of your character and how he or she responds to historical events, such as the Revolutionary War, the Boston Tea Party, and the War of 1812.

The Colonial period of American history comes to life with The Colonial America Encyclopedia. Filled with biographies, detailed descriptions about colonial life, maps, videos, audio narration, and primary source materials, every inch of colonial life is uncovered through an interactive platform. This in-depth software program follows the birth of America's original 13 colonies, through the Revolutionary War, and up to the formation of the Union. With the Wild West Encyclopedia, explore everything from Lewis and Clark's expedition to the Pacific Northwest to the battle at Alamo and the building of railroads. This title features a huge collection of historical photographs, video clips, and primary reference materials on the Wild West era.

Rating : - This is A GAME!
This is a game . Its educational value does not live up to what is promised on its cover, very misleading. What primary resource material was it talking about? It was a game and if thats what you want to get your kid get civillization III, not only does it have more educational content , it also is more realistic and helps them learn the complexity and hardship alongside history and structure. In other words this was a waste of money !
