One of the reviewers mentioned having prostitutes at the end of the game. I am looking to buy this for my grandchildren. Are there prostitutes?

I've been playing this game for over fifteen years and I have never come across a single prostitute. It could be a typo, you can prospect for gold if you take the 'Sacramento Trail'. Maybe he meant 'prospectors'. I think it's a good idea that you are buying this game for your grandchildren. Just be sure that they have a computer that can run it. I played it on "Windows 95" in my youth but it works with my "Windows XP" laptop. Any newer Windows OS probably won't run it. You could try stuff like 'Doss Box' but that is a route that you probably don't want to take because of all the complex computer work. You could take the computer to a microsoft store but that could end up costing hundreds of dollars and even then, it's not guaranteed to work. But if you do have the proper computer hardware, "Oregon Trail 2" is the best version of the "Oregon Trail" series.

No, it does not...I have no idea where that came from, and I assure you that there are NONE. When you reach the end of the game, you first are granted a land certificate for X amount of acres (depending on how well you did during the game), then are given a little blurb about what happens to the character you played in the rest of their cyber-life, and then finally an option to play the game again. Where in the world this person got that idea I don't know...but it certainly does not happen in this version of the game! Which, frankly, I consider the best one for both fun and general accuracy to history. Please feel free to buy THIS version for a kid of any age!

Never in any of my 15 years of playing this game have I ever even heard mention of prosititutes. It is educational and very fun!

There is a two player varient with the "ghost Ship" but i have found the more players the more cut throat it becomes!! I have found that 3-4 players works best in my opinion.

I wish I would have asked this question before I purchased the game! I had friends that had games with the two extra's, and I had purchased Lethal Luau for a dinner party I was having with 6 people, thinking there were two extras. BUT IN LETHAL LUAU THERE ARE NO EXTRAS! So My husband and I both played two parts which just ruined the whole thing. We would switch hats (nothing we could do about the costume) so that the other players knew which we were at that time. But sometimes our characters were asking ourselves questions so it got really confusing. You need 8 guests to play this game. Have a good time!

There really isnt any sexual content in this game. I would say the bulk of it is the violence and the language. Actually this game really isnt that bad

Hi, This was a Christmas gift for grandson, I have never played game. He was only 11 at time, to young for many one to email to ask a question. Plus my son and wife would not approve. Good luck.

It's not censored,but it's not for kids also. There are a lot of curse words,some nudity,some of the nudity is blured,but you can still make it out. I would recommend this game for 17 years and up. If you like the show,you'll love the game. Hope this helps.

drm aka copy protection is present----but here---- I caution all PC SINGLE PLAYER users to read and learn what is printed on the box---x box and PS3 urses, multiplayers, that is another Ball game----my reference is for PC single player users ----if it is not multi disc, playable out of the box do not buy it ----plus the pretense (ghots) is not for military types----STEAM IS a VIRUS PERIOD!----

GOD READ A BOOK LANA!!! On a serious note, you're missing that the point of this game and its marketing is to be funny. First expansion pack, "40% more brand synergy." Second expansion pack, "Now dolphin safe." It's just stuff they add to the description to make it funnier.

No this game no longer works it is a scam. Many people have tried having this ad removed but they just keep sending copies. This game is a mmorpg with no online servers. You won't be able to play it.

Hi, Do not know since I have 7. Enjoy the game but as you move up in levels it comes up with the most bizarre words which is annoying.

Honestly. That's around the age the boys will start to want those games and it is just a game. There is parts with strippers and profanity but ask yourself.. Is my child old or mature enough to handle this content? And that will help

There is nothing in the game that I or my family has taken that way. There are some cards that are more of a mature joke that kids would not get. Some examples are a Broad Sword that only females can use, Crabs as a monster where you discard armor and all items worn below the waist, a Horny Helmet (elf with a helmet with big horns) and snails on speed. There is a 'curse change sex card' which my 8 year old thinks is funny unless he is the one changed to a girl. We only have the first set, so there might be something in one of the other sets.

I wouldn't recommend it. They certainly CAN play the game but the crude behavior and constant cursing would cause me to say not for children.

I would let my kid, but ultimately its up to you. Plenty of violence, however. nothing is graphic (blood etc). Nothing sexual at all (there is minor romance plots, but nothing outside that). It's a great game.

It would make sense for the job just to be removed from the game. You should never run out of jobs during a game. Really should never get close. I've played with 6 before and had still a large stack.

Great GAME!!! IF you want your kids to stop asking you for money this will show them that money does not grow on trees and you are not a walking ATM....
