While traveling the world in a hot air balloon, Hero crashed into the island of Tapa-tui, where he met and married, Bright Light the Chieftain's beautiful daughter. Hero's adventures continued when he himself became the Chieftain of Tapa-tui after the death of Bright Lights father. Tapa-tui is a peaceful and tranquil village, but Hero must establish trade with the nearby territory of Mata-fiki, in order to keep up with the resource demands of his people.

I love the Moai series, the graphics are exceptional (for a TM game of course) the tasks are clear and obtainable, and there's always a nice variety of features, however, I don't see the need to present a Time Management game as a Collector's Edition. The only feature even remotely beneficial would be the built in Strategy Guide, but it's very difficult to get "stuck" on a TM level, after all you can replay any level as often as you want, so to me, it's really a waste of money unless you've just gotta have a few wallpapers and a few extra levels. (100 levels total throughout the game. That's just my opinion, but personally, I'll wait for the Standard Edition to be released to purchase.

There are two modes of difficulty available, Easy mode which is untimed for a relaxing experience the other is Casual which is designed for gamers familiar with TM games. There are a whopping 56 Achievements to earn, including the Tikku-ana Locket which is activated when you complete every level with a gold medal. Each level has tresure chests available which contain valuable artifacts and bonuses such as the Sandals of Speed which give the moai a little more speed to get the job done. There are 24 different Artifacts to earn that increase resources by a specific percentage. The Artifacts are kept in your backpack and you can choose a handful to apply before each level if you choose.

This Collector's Edition has 4 Wallpapers (which are cartoonish in style) 9 Music Soundtracks, 14 Character Biographies, Bonus Levels, and a built in Strategy Guide, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

The only thing I have to comment on that has not already been said in other reviews or the game description is this: Yes, there are two game modes. Timed and untimed. BUT, here's the great thing. IF, by chance, you get to a level (timed) that you cannot complete in gold time, you can go back to the main menu, select 'untimed' and redo the level and get the gold without having to start a new game. ...Show more

Another great Moai game, with the added bonus this time of different skill levels. You can play on casual with a timer, or easy with no timer. I personally am so glad of the easy level I love the games but can not get gold except on early levels.

In Moai II, I just ignored the timer when I reached the point where I was completely unable to get gold. I love the game but I like to play at a much more relaxed pace, so this is working out wonderfully. I know many players crave the challenge of a timer so my best wishes to you, I believe you will love this game, I highly recommend it. Show less

I was hoping this iteration of the Moai series would lose the boring bandits, but no such luck - they appear four times between levels 30 and 40. Having said that, I enjoyed this game very much and will play it again and again. The graphics are great, amazing nuanced color and good size. I played the untimed, relaxed version which has 40 levels.

I recommend this game!

At first I thought this was going to be just like all of the other recent time management games. In some ways it is, but the story and challenges of doing things in the right order make it very different. I love it and would recommend this one.

This is an excellent game, very well done in every aspect. The options to play timed or untimed are very helpful and I have enjoyed it very much.

BUT there is nothing REALLY new in the game, so if you played the previous Moai games, it's also ok to replay another one and wait for a CE or something else.

I recommend this game!
