I find this to be so pleasing and addicting!! I love the music more in the first two, but that is not even a major complaint. I so enjoyed this along with Parts 1 and 2 in this series and I cannot wait for a 4th..hoping there is anyway! This is a must play and add to any Time Management fans. My 3 year old grandson is fascinated with the game because the colors pop, fun fun fun!!

I recommend this game!

I think this game is fine overall. I like the graphics and tasking levels. My only complaint is ... it is set a little too easy. I don't want it crazy hard but I like to come back and use strategy to improve my performance to get gold on all levels. Having hard, normal and easy settings is even better. Hope to see this as an update or in the next game.

I recommend this game!

This is the first Lost Artifacts game I have purchased. I liked the trial so much I bought it. Now I'm wishing I had waited and not wasted my money on the Collector's Edition because it was so easy. There was no challenge at all. I got through all 59 levels without having to play even one of them twice.

This is the first Lost Artifacts game I have purchased. I liked the trial so much I bought it. Now I'm wishing I had waited and not wasted my money on the Collector's Edition because it was so easy. There was no challenge at all. I got through all 59 levels without having to play even one of them twice. After I finished I thought "Great, now I'll choose a more difficult setting so I can play again." Nope, no additional difficulties. How disappointing. So now I finished this game fairly quickly and don't even want to play it again because it's so easy it will be boring to play a second time. Are all the Lost Artifacts games just one difficulty? Are they all this easy? Just don't want to waste money on another one if that is the case. Show less

I recommend this game!

I have all the games in this series, and you would think I would have learned my lesson by now. This is not worth the title "collectors edition" So starved for a new "gather recourses" game I jumped in, and just as in the others, this game is not horrible, but severly lacking any pazzaz!

I have all the games in this series, and you would think I would have learned my lesson by now. This is not worth the title "collectors edition" So starved for a new "gather recourses" game I jumped in, and just as in the others, this game is not horrible, but severly lacking any pazzaz!

There is no strategy guide (really a must even if you don't need it in a CE), The choices of music are all set at different volumes and sometimes can hardly be heard whilst testing them. There are no choices of difficulty and the only extras are music and wallpaper.

The graphics are very dull, buildings are not clearly marked, and sometimes I had to scan hard to find the beginning house. The little characters are the only thing that has had a makeover and actually look less cartoony than previously.

This game is just like a cheap and very dull knockoff of 'Gnomes Garden'.. it even has the equivalent of "merry makers" sometimes to speed up the production. I first turned the tutorial off, but found myself having to turn it back on just to see which buildings and houses were what. The Instructions are often only understood if you check your task list and realise things such as, after you have built a statue..you have to click it a second time to mark it off.

If you are new to this game series, that would be very confusing I am sure. I cant totally knock the game though, as I am so starved for this genre of game that I am simply enjoying running around madly collecting things! There is however no way it is worth buying the CE that I can see, other than bonus levels.

So in summary.. I think I would go as far as saying I would recommend you buy this as an SE, cannot recommend it as a CE. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Not sure why this is a Collectors Edition.
Just ok as a game.
Got through the entire first section - about 14/15 levels in the trial hour. Got through each level really easily with 3 stars. Not very challenging.
No choice to make it more difficult.
The story line didn't really go anywhere.
It was fun enough to play, but not worth buying as there is no challenge.

This is based on the demo since I am not intending to purchase this as a CE. I don't think I have ever given a game all OKs as usually something stands out better in the ratings. The graphics are very cartoon as in the other games in this series but these just seemed small and uninspiring. I was actually annoyed playing this and am not sure why.

The graphics are very cartoon as in the other games in this series but these just seemed small and uninspiring. I was actually annoyed playing this and am not sure why. It got more difficult as you progressed but the fun factor was not high. Still it offers a decent experience and might be enjoyed more by children. I would consider this game because there are few of them offered if it was not a CE and I could use game credits. I just can't recommend it as a CE. Show less

Lost Artifacts has made a third attempt, but once again has failed to grab the attention of TM fans. The colors are dull, the tasks are repetitive and predictable, and there's nothing worthy enough to claim a spot in the coveted Collector's Edition category, there isn't even a Strategy Guide!

In the first Lost Artifacts game, the archaeological team was able to stop the Dark Priest from doing his Dark deeds, and the team regretfully had to say goodbye to their newfound native friends. Unfortunately, the airplane was no match for a hurricane they encountered, and they crashed on a large but remote island in the middle of the ocean. They discovered a tribe of Atlantean's that had survived when the city of Atlantis was sunk by another evil-doer, and the team had once again agreed to help them return to their beloved city, after defeating the evil-doer of course! Now the team has to face another evil-doer, a thief who has stolen the legendary Soulstone which possess unfathomable powers. The evil-doer has already used the stone to awaken a Terra-cotta emperor, and he's a bigger evil-doer than the thief himself! Can the team stop this madman before he awakens the ancient dragon and takes over the world?

There are the usual tasks to perform of gathering resources of Food, Wood, Ore, Gold, Lumber, and the usual buildings to repair such as Huts for workers, Sawmills for Lumber, Farms for food, Mills or a Blacksmith barn. You will repair bridges, remove mantraps, and trade goods at the merchant market. Some levels require that you upgrade certain buildings to a certain level. You may need to build a house to accommodate a specialized person to rid the paths from certain obstructions such as a Monks house to restore statues, defenders houses to rid the path of snakes.

If you are a seasoned Time Management fan, I think you'll find this game to be a bit bland, with not a whole lot of challenge. As for being a CE version? I don't personally see the need for a handful of music soundtracks, concept art or trophies. There are no difficulty mode options or a Strategy Guide, it does claim to have Bonus Levels, but is it worth twice as much for a handful of extra levels, that would probably have been included if this wasn't a CE?

It's Gnomes Garden all over again, with a few minor differences. I certainly will not pay CE price, but when I have a freebie after the standard edition comes out I might use it to purchase this game. I won't be paying actual money for it!

So sorry, I like the other games but this one is too easy for whoever played one of the others.
It took me three hours to play all levels with three stars. Not enough challenge for a CE game.
