THERE'S NO GOOD OR EVIL-THERE'S ONLY POWER AND GREED

fromCobras & snakes in general are deaf and have poor vision, this is why a snake charmers flute is long and wide on the end, so the snake is merely "following" what he sees, not mesmerized by what he hears!

If you were to take the last 100 new releases from the "Big Guys" developers and put them all together, they wouldn't be able to hold a candle to this single game, Persian Nights! Artifex Mundi deserves a round of applause and a standing ovation for the ingenious creativity of this masterpiece!

This game has everything going for it, gorgeous graphics, an intense plot, creative tasks and features, likable characters, and puzzles and HOP's. There are no collectibles, no morphing objects, no annoying helpers, and no hoops to jump through, but trust me, this is such a strong game entertainment-wise, none of those things are needed! Yes, there's a Talisman gadget with somewhat repetitive mini-games, but it works for this game. Not only does this game adhere to logic, but it also proves that you can hold onto an important inventory item, such as a knife, throughout the game without any ill-effects!

The Hidden Objects Scenes are clear, the objects are identifiable, and they are presented within creative locations. I wish they were actually "hidden" or blended into the scenery like they were in the good old days of HOPA yesteryears past, but that seems to be a technique long abandoned.

The Mini-Games are decent with legible directions, but unfortunately, there are repetitive games associated with the use of the Talisman as well as the Apocathary recipes you'll be concocting throughout the game. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Find 3 hidden symbols on each page during the story.
2) Choose the Sphere that doesn't have the same symbols.
3) Repeat the sequence of Spheres that light up.
4) Click Spheres to turn them all blue.
5) Rearrange blocks to clear an unobstructed path for the key.
6) Move figurines along tracks to their logical slots.

The bottom line is, this game is one of the best Standard Edition versions to come down the pike in a very long time. In reality, it could hold its own against any Collector's Edition version of late. It may not have the CE bling, but most of the CE's offered today would be worthless without its bling, enjoy!

I recommend this game!

Hooray!! Big Fish has finally found this magnificent gem! I was fortunate enough to beta test this many months ago (sent directly from the dev) and have been anxiously awaiting its debut here.

The storyline is fascinating and the characters are absolutely delightful! The dialogue, which is certainly not excessive, is informative, often humorous and takes you along the path to adventure and success. There is no boredom in this beautifully thought-out game. The graphics are dazzling and the instructions for mini-games could not be better. You have special little symbols to find in all the scenes and the HOS are simply great. The music is well suited to the theme and adds that little finishing touch.

The game is longer, more interesting and intricately designed than a great many CEs we have seen in the past few years. I love this developer because they always put such effort into getting things "just right" and this is a stellar example of that attention to detail. Bravo, Artifex Mundi!

Hop on your magic carpet and be prepared for fun and amazement! Show less

I played this game in the Demo for about 5 minutes & then purchased it,
What a wonderful surprise!
The story is involving, the characters are wonderful & funny and I love the music, it's very appropriate for the game.
It's not the hardest game to play, but sometimes it's just nice to relax and play.

I recommend this game!

What an enchanting game. Very simple small game, but with big rewards. The graphics were stunningly beautiful, the music authentic and soothing and the characters were a wonderful blended mix. I totally enjoyed this game and the storyline. Was a big Persian Nights fan can you tell?

I'm so glad to see Big Fish putting out games by Artifex Mundi again, I normally just love their games, and this game is no exception, as a matter of fact, it's better than the last few they recently released.

I'm so glad to see Big Fish putting out games by Artifex Mundi again, I normally just love their games, and this game is no exception, as a matter of fact, it's better than the last few they recently released.
The graphics are crisp and clear, the colors are bright and vibrant, and the scenes are lovely! The scenes are not overly full so you don't feel overwhelmed by where to look, what to do, where to go. The music and voices are just perfect, love the sound of the woman and the man. Normally the voices grate on my nerves not in this game!
My favorite part is having someone in the game playing along with me, I love, love, love that!!
The game is on the relatively easy side especially as it pertains to the mini-games but I enjoy that because then I can actually do the mini-game without skipping, which is another big plus for this game.
I believe there were only 1 maybe 2 hidden object scenes in the demo which was the only negative since I do really like those.
All and all a really enjoyable game that I really want to keep on playing so I'm downloading it as I write this review.
I think this is well worth a full price purchase, it's definitely worth a free game coupon. Try the demo for yourself I believe you will really enjoy it!
I highly recommend this game. Show less

This was just a joy of a game, especially if you're a beginner or even a seasoned old salt like myself who wants to relax with an enjoyable game that isn't too taxing on the gray cells. Even though the overall story is trite (evil guy who wants to run the world) I loved the team play aspect and the potion-making. A definite buy for me!

I recommend this game!

This is a wonderful SE game, with a fresh look at a (for me) unfamiliar culture. The young people's dialog shows a respect and equality that doesn't overpower you with male/female angst. They just work together well.
I hope that the whole game will reflect this. The story line is ancient of course, but for me the winner is the mutual respect and skills of both protagonists.
This is a winner!

I recommend this game!

I beta tested this game months ago and have been waiting for it to come out.

Loved this game! Everyone that gave it 5 stars I agree with them 100%.

There's not enough of these type of games coming out and I relish this one.

I recommend this game!
