If you like adventure games, this is a must. I love the original Lucas Arts adventure games and I was skeptical about this game living up to expectations. Tales of Monkey Island is an awesome game: the characters are hilarious, the puzzles are fun to solve, the movie scenes are great, and the length is good (although like with any other good game it feels short). Now a warning: I did not like the first chapter of the game very much. I found frustrating some of the puzzles of this chapter (specially the "map related" ones). Keep going because the rest of the chapters are worth every second spent. I know there are cheaper adventure games around but I would say that this is worth the price and that if you liked the Lucas Arts adventure games you will probably love this.
I was really excited about this game and was hugely disappointed, it has so much potential but it is almost impossible to be successful. A huge let down.
Its a fun game, at first I thought it was quite hard but once you get the hang of it its good fun. The 35 year story line is too short but as you can continue playing I ignored that and continued. Thank you Greenheart Games!
I really like the hawk and the animations especially at the beginning before the zoo starts littering up the previously beautiful screen. It's like Gardenscapes-it's a pleasure to just watch. But the zoo that you build bit by bit (that promises to be enticingly fun to create, like Gardenscapes, isn't because in fact the picture gets uglier and uglier as you proceed. It just doesn't come together to make something that becomes increasingly pretty. Might as well have a game where you build a parking over a meadow. It would be as engaging a task as this is. Also you put five zoo animals into it and the worst thing is that at regular intervals the screen lights up with exclamation points and the animals have to be fed. You have to do this in order to remove the exclamation points. (If you opt to ignore them, they destroy the view of the zoo which is at least in theory the best thing about the game.) The tasks involved in feeding the animals are unchanging and completely uninteresting and you have to do them again and again. Also they are redundant. You have to click on the scythe for example to cut the grass. Then you have to click on the grass to move it inventory. Then you have click on it again to move it to the feeding trough. Again and again and again. It's so annoying. However, I'm giving this three stars because of the beginning artwork and because the hidden object variation in it is genuinely good.
This is a great game to get away from life and just not think. You can spend hours laying this game and not even realize it. Some days it gets to be repetative but very interesting.
I bought this game yesterday, after reading half a dozen reviews saying it was a good game. The graphics are nice, the music is cool, realism compared to a real snooker table is great!
The playability is OK, could be better if there were keyboard shortcuts. You MUST use the mouse to aim, change view, control strength, cue position, spin, and then, finally, click a button on the lower right to strike. It's a lot of mouse work that could be made easier using shortcuts, or at least mouse combinations with CTRL, SHIFT or ALT.
There's just one song, that plays along wih the menus, it's a nice bluesy rock theme, but unfortunately that's just it. There's no music durng gameplay, which is a major mistake.
But what annoyed me most, and that almost made me give up playing, is the stupid credits system. You buy the game, but the only game mode available is the snooker mode with 15 red balls. Now, in my country we don't play that (no disrespect, but we like to play 8-ball here), and I was really looking forward to play 8-ball. But I can't because I must "purchase" the 8-ball game mode, which costs 750 credits, which I can only earn by playing a tournament, which is played on snooker-15-red-ball-mode, which I don't like to play. Not only I got to play this mode, but I also must WIN a stupid tournament vs the CPU, because you only earn credits if you win. Now, looking back, I would even change the 3-star rating do 2-star.
I love this game. i always watch wheel of fortune on tv and this makes it feel so real! There are so many different puzzles that the game never gets old!
pros- tons of fun cons- u don't get actual money!! :)
The multiplayer only concept could be a good idea. And yes, it works! Nice graphics, it unassuming and cute. Simple Sims. But thats all. I can forgot the introductory problems with servers and many bugs in first month after the release the game. But now we have August 28 and there are the same bugs. The traffic doesnt working, emergency's vehicles cant go through traffic jams and my city is every rush hour in spasm. And next thing is the size of map. It isnt city! Its a strange village with many skyscrapers. This Simcity had failed. I am disappointed. Its very strange, when the sports stadium can take a large part of map. And you can still move there several thousands of people. Insane. Its a not a simulator! This is fairlytale game about Sims and their beautiful and adventure life.
Not as good as the other version for the Mac. You need to give the player the ability to arrange tiles on his own on the rack, as you would during a real game. It would also be more interesting to have a "Tournament" mode and to have ratings, so you can gauge your level of expertise. It's a little too simple, but it will have to do for now. Please develop something better!
This game is highly reviewed for its realism. If you generally have a passion for economics or how a business works. This is the game for you. It ain't easy, but very educational if you ever plan on starting a venture in real life.
