TM is my favorite genre, so I can be overcritical in my reviews of these games. I played the first game in the Series and really enjoyed it. Feel the same about this one as well, nothing not to like.

TM is my favorite genre, so I can be overcritical in my reviews of these games. I played the first game in the Series and really enjoyed it. Feel the same about this one as well, nothing not to like.

Graphics: are large, crisp and clear, so one can see items easily

Buildings can be identified by look and are upgradeable, despite what another reviewer stated. Although, just as with other TM games, Upgrades aren't available at the onset. They become available as you play on.

Storyline: is fine

Music: always mute it, so can't comment

Game Play: Controls are very responsive. One can queue
up actions (a MUST for me). Easy to cancel an action as well

Game flow is also nice

This is not a hectic, break your neck, frantic scramble to try to attain 3 Stars with a ridiculously unreasonable time limit (like in some of the Dracula series - which I do like, those are for more hard core TM players though)

Challenge: There IS strategy involved. If you don't check out what needs to be done and plan your actions & resources, you will have to replay to get 3 Stars

There are 3 levels of play: untimed, normal, and hard

There were no trophies available in the first of the series in Standard Edition. Don't know if that will be the case in the sequel.

This game is suitable for experienced players, as well as those new to Time Management

I give it 5 Stars. Very refreshing and enjoyable. Glad they presented a sequel. Looking forward to a third - even though I haven't finished this one yet :)

Could offer a tad bit more for a CE Edition Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a great game in normal although fairly easy. I am hoping for more of a challenge in Expert mode. I do enjoy the Bonus chests that you can choose after earning 5 stars. Some picks are not so nice so choose wisely. There are no collectibles but bonus chapters are offered. It is a fun game to buy on a discount day for 7.99. TY Big Fish.

This is a great game in normal although fairly easy. I am hoping for more of a challenge in Expert mode. I do enjoy the Bonus chests that you can choose after earning 5 stars. Some picks are not so nice so choose wisely. There are no collectibles but bonus chapters are offered. It is a fun game to buy on a discount day for 7.99. TY Big Fish. I suspect TM games are becoming quite popular as I see more and more of them offered. Hard to beat Dracula, Rose Riddle, Viking Bros., Hercules and my favorite Roman Adventure. But a herculean effort. Show less

I am happy to see another Argonauts Agency time management game.

What a great game. Crisp, Clear, Colorful graphics. The characters move fast. Nice relaxing music. Fun gameplay.

Best of all, I purchased a fun and exciting Collector Edition game with today's discount. What more could I ask for?

I recommend this game.

I really liked the graphics. Fuzz out the background, and bring the important stuff clear. I don't see much of that in TM games. Not the SAME path over and over. This game had my mind going everywhere at once. I liked that a lot.

I recommend this game!

In itself this is quite a tidy little standard 'gather resources' game. The first of this series copped some flack for trying to be a rip off of the Hercules games. Well..this game is a bit more fun than the first as it has stolen some other features from other games too lol!

The gameplay here is smooth, and fast, and you will gather the usual wood, gold,food. So what's different?

In itself this is quite a tidy little standard 'gather resources' game. The first of this series copped some flack for trying to be a rip off of the Hercules games. Well..this game is a bit more fun than the first as it has stolen some other features from other games too lol!

The gameplay here is smooth, and fast, and you will gather the usual wood, gold,food. So what's different?

With this CE you get to choose a bonus from one of three chests each time you get five stars, (which is really reminding me of a M3 I am playing). The bonus only lasts for one level, and sometimes you get nothing. You have to guess which two of them have the prize and you don't know what it is. There are the 'standard' bonuses that appear to speed up functions and they stay always (and annoyingly jiggle at you)

There is now also an alter feature that the lady uses with a golden orb that replenishes your bonus energy also. (just like a mana well would)

There are also boats now that take you from island to island like in a (tribe) game. This does allow you sometimes to attack a particular island from 2 directions at once, you may or may not have to wait to 'clear the path' So there are new but not original concept features in this installment.

You can click ahead and there are three modes of play including untimed.

There are achievements but still no strategy guide, and I must admit I have after the trial period had to replay and change my strategy as to when and what I upgraded. But you don't really need it, just repeat. The only extras as a CE are you will get 10 more levels, music and art.

I have bought this on sale and therefore its actually not a bad value game. I would be disappointed to have paid full price. So rather than just buy the SE..get this on a good sale as I have done today and its really a quite OK little TM game just a bit repetitive and unoriginal. Show less

I recommend this game!

it is really cute but not challenging for me. like a no brainer....sit and relax. I do not like how you have the multicklick option only for things to pick up if you have to fill a pit you can only future cklich until that pit is filled. also I do not like the fact that extra bonuses are timed. other then that....easy game super cute

I recommend this game!

I bought the Golden Fleece and it was a fun way to pass the time. Pandora's Box is very similar. This a good family game.
