A great point and click adventure game that lets you interact with the characters in the book. Fun mini puzzle which you can do when they come up or leave and go back to them. I played the first one too (which was great) but this is even better. You can even leave a book half finished if you are stuck, go to a different book and then back. It really is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it! It has a pretty tough penalty system though.
It has a good story, graphics and music. There are pretty good mini games ever couple of levels. I thought the HIDDEN SWEEPSTAKES made it more interesting. While it tries to combine 2 genres (H/0 & match 3) it hasn't perfected the combination but it is a good idea. There are better H0 games out there and better MATCH 3 out there but it is neat having some of both.
I still remember this game landing back in 1997 with a big bang - surprisingly it's still enjoyable in 2008, thanks to fun gameplay and quite vast array of weapons
Fans of old-school ultima (III-VI) can rejoice with eschalon book I. I played this game for a solid 40 hours to completion, and I loved it. I played it on an older powerbook g4 (633mhz) and it was painfully slow - you'll want something a bit faster than this to really enjoy the gameplay. I hear basilick games is working on eschalon book II; can't wait until that one comes out!
I had purchased a jewel quest with my old PC and was excited to try this one out on my Mac. Needless to say, I am very impressed with the quality of the graphics and the sound. The hident objects are more and more difficult to find as the game moves on. I really add enjoy the addition of the gold coins!
Well worth the money! Similar to the Diner Dash series, it offers challenge and interest with each level. I bought it a week ago and am on level 40 of 60 levels. Great graphics too.
An intelligent, well designed game with plenty of replay value. With billions of islands to choose from and travel to as your tribe grows and prospers as they solves mysteries and develops potions there is plenty to do. The ability to travel to different islands and to landscape them as well as help your tribe to prosper and earn trophies is excellent. The game will continue to run while it is off, or you can pause it to enjoy everything yourself. If you might like it, try it, you will!
My Tribe has many different islands to explore, with plenty of variety and challenges. There are trophies to unlock and the game plays out even when not playing it, which can be considered a pro or a con. Many people don't like a game that keeps playing when they are not on it. IT is quite similar to VIRTUAL VILLAGERS, so if you liked that you will definitely like MY TRIBE. YOU can choose from literally billions of islands, each with a different layout and 3 sets of mysteries to choose. In that way it is different from VVillagers. It all comes down to if you are a fan of REALTIME play or not.
The best I can say about Cursed Valley is the handpainted graphics and audio. The game is too short and some things are very hard to see. There is no randomization in the scenes so you can memorize where objects are. The mini games were just so/so nothing great. I found it just average.
when you buy this games make sure you have at least six hours to try to figure the game out. the tutorial is pretty much just a bunch of tips and it doesn't even tell you how to move your troops. my opinion, a waste of 40 bucks.
This game was interesting enough for a hidden object game but, with my 1440X900 iMac display, it really looked washed out. Too bad, I was starting to like it but my eyes started hurting...hidden object games shouldn't look like a complete blur!
The best thing about this game is the audio visuals.....they are great. It is also a very solid match 3 game yet it does not push the boundaries of the genre. It has the same formulas as many other quality match 3 out there and besides graphics, really has nothing new to offer. That being said aren't most of the H/O games like that and if you need a new match 3 to play this will definitely satisfy you! It is very good just doesn't bring anything new to the table.
Considering it was N.G's first foray into caual gaming, they did an adequate job but I am expecting more next time. The graphics and history are realistic and the best part of the game. It is also quite long but easy and repetitive. There are mini games but even they are repetitive being mostly jigsaw and rotation. There is one difficult pipe mini game. There is a timed and relaxed mode but this is one game I think most could finish in timed. I give National Geographic kudos because I love them so much and this is their first try. I am sure their next game will be much more of a challenge though.
If you love skip-bo I suppose you would be happy with this game......but unlike FAIRWAY SOLITAIRE (excellent card game) it is just the same thing over and over again and gets incredibly boring. I certainly wish they would come out with some better card games, the are few and far between. I just found this game incredibly repetitious!
I am thoroughly enjoying this game and WILL purchase it. WONDERFUL Middle Eastern music, great graphics in the hidden objects part of the game, the "Upgrades" choices between sections is a cool idea... so far the mini-games inbetween were a little on the easy side, but there was also the ability within those games to find coins to purchase extra hints and upgrades, so "easy" provided extra time to plan strategy for getting those coins... I highly recommend this game!
It is an exciting fun game! you can do so much. ME and my friend play free play and just breed animals then make a family tree so much to do all the time (in the game)
Interesting plot,multipage puzzles and entertaining mini games. It has good replay value and you are never bored playing it. The best part is that you can save your progress without starting over like you did in the first one. HIGHLY ENTERTAINING
Definitely not easy to beat. Great graphics with interesting twists to the Match 3 genre, providing multiple games in one. A must for anyone addicted to this kind of game.
