Zipping around from land to submarine you are investigating the mystery of the Disquis spheres. Enjoy the sun and waves and warm character of Costa Rica. Excellent graphics and sound. The characters are believable and varied. The game builds to a resounding finish! HOPS about 10-12 - all sorts. Puzzles are mixed and some are tough! Enjoy!

I recommend this game!

Based on the completed game: I actually purchased the CE version of this game, & am glad I did, as I consider the bonus chapter & other extras to be worth it in this case. That said, if you opt for the SE, you will get a reasonably long (4-5 hour) game w/ what to me were excellent HOPs, mini-games, graphics, & gameplay in general.

I didn't thing I would like it but I used a free coupon from buying CEs to find out for free. I Loved it. I first saw the Toucan bird and marveled at the colors. It a very colorful and beautiful game more so later on. I like the travel and adventure and learning from the fact cards. It's warm and summer, just what I want since we have so much snow. The adventure got better and better. I now want to buy the CE for the extras.

Just note. I buy for the Hops which they had twelve. I tried and like and finished most puzzles and I can't do hard ones.
Don't know if you set it on a more difficult setting if it would work for puzzle masters. I just know I enjoyed them, but would have liked more Hops and less puzzles. But was happy I could do them.

I Loved the storyline. If you click too much in the hops a round stone sphere will come at you and shatter your screen. So funny. I played with the juke box and it will play all four songs. Got a big kick out of the parrot. Show less

These games are always on the shorter side, but sometimes that's a good thing, as there is no chance of getting bored. The puzzles in this can be quite challenging at times. It was always interesting for me. A good game that was better than I was expecting

I went into this game nearly blind on what to expect after what was available in the demo. The visual and sound quality are amazing, as in the other games. I kind of wish there was more Sam in this game, but hey, it doesn't take away from the game at all.

I went into this game nearly blind on what to expect after what was available in the demo. The visual and sound quality are amazing, as in the other games. I kind of wish there was more Sam in this game, but hey, it doesn't take away from the game at all.

The game opens with a flashback to when the young of the "tribe" (young adults to children in age) were sent away while the older generation stayed behind. And then we immediately jump into a brief case of amnesia, remembering what happened/what we're doing, and getting back to the case. I'll admit that I went into this not trusting one and the other, but went to a "should I trust?" for one. That was thrown away in the end...

The cut scenes are lovely, especially when you went to find the Lost Paradise and traveled underwater. I guess that the "moral" of the game is that even if you have good intentions, that doesn't mean that you should.

As a fan of this series, I have to admit that this is a great addition! It's definitely worth a try/purchase. Give it a try and see what you think. Show less

I recommend this game!

I have all the Hidden Expeditions games and although this one doesn't quite live up the others, it is a very good game. I enjoyed playing it. I've waited for what seemed like an eternity for this to come out in SE, because I don't play CE games, and was not disappointed.

Normally from Eipix, I give graphics and sound 5 stars. However, there was something about this one that was lacking. I can't put my finger on it, but it was different than the others. The graphics were fine and the sound. including voice overs and music, were very acceptable, but just something was amiss.

As always, the mini games were my downfall. I don't think they were so hard as my patience lacks in working them out. I did several of them, but most I skipped after a couple attempts. Hidden objects were varied from the list to silhouettes, my least favorite, and this kept my interest. In the lists, there were several items listed I had no idea what they were. Guess I needed to live back in that time to know.

The fact cards, a regular of this series, were interesting. I had no idea what some of them were talking about, but I did learn something reading them. The interactive map was a big help. It did show where there were things to do and transported me to that area. You also have several modes of play. I chose custom so I could set the hint and skip to the fastest time.

Others will go into what the story was about. All I'll say is it had continuity and made sense. No monsters, ghosts, or witches which was a plus for me. I am so tired of that genre, I could scream. The story had me from the beginning and kept me enticed all the way through.

All in all this is a good game and one I look forward to playing again. As always, play the demo and make your own decision, but as for me, this series hasn't yet lost all of it luster. Show less

I recommend this game!

I have played most of EIPIX games -- this one didn't quite match up to some of the others for me as it took a long time to finally get to the sea. Once there it became more interesting. The hidden objects are varied and some of the mini-games are challenging.

I recommend this game!

This isn't one of the best in the series, but it is a decent length game, movie-like cut scenes, and beautiful graphics taking place in Cuba and Costa Rica.
The storyline is weak, formulaic, and pedestrian, making it the weakest point of the game.

You can get Hint & Skip even on expert mode. The puzzles are mostly easy. HOPs are rather scarce and completely uninspiring. Collectible fact cards, which are the schtick for this series, are disappointingly boring and unoriginal.
This is a good series, and although this particular game isn't outstanding, it's worth adding to your library. Show less
