If you played Hercules before, it is more of the same. Same cast of characters, same humor, with some added twists. With portals that make you run all over the place, and a challenging set-up. I played it in casual, and it took me two three tries to get the three stars on some levels. It is a question of knowing what to do first, and what can remain undone, as long as the objective is met.

It is a wonderful way to spend a rainy afternoon. Show less

I Don't Think It's Wise To Anger Zeus

Zeus is gone! Someone has kidnapped the mighty god of sky and thunder, they didn't even allow him to put his shoes on, poor guy. With siblings like Poseidon, and Hades, kidnapping the king of gods probably wasn't a wise decision. Whoever is responsible, probably didn't know they would be facing the big guy himself, one of the most beloved gods of Mount Olympus, Hercules, the son of Zeus himself! Rut Row! Now Hercules and his wife Megara must journey through Volcanoes, the brutal Winter, the Tropics and even Underwater to find Zeus, question is, does this count as one of the 12 Labours Hercules must endure?

There are three different modes of difficulty, Relaxed, Casual and expert, and every level that is completed within Gold Time (3 stars) will reveal a part of the ancient underwater castle. Each level has a puzzle piece to find which looks like an ancient rune tile, I always look for the puzzle piece before clicking on anything which starts the game, that way I don't forget about the puzzle piece or waste time searching for it. You can then assemble each jigsaw puzzle once all pieces have been found, and I'm assuming the finished puzzle can be set as a wallpaper. You can replay any of the levels to try to get a better score or if you forgot the puzzle piece.

There are several Achievements or Trophies to earn for tasks such as collecting a resource after completing the level tasks, completing the level without using bonuses or finding 10 puzzle pieces. (I counted 23 total spread throughout the levels) As you progress, different bonuses are made available that can be used each time the meter refills, such as more Resources, or Faster workers, but the effects are only temporary.

There are the usual tasks of building and upgrading farms, sawmills, goldmines, and even outposts that house workers that are far from home, clearing and repairing paths, and collecting food. Each task requires a certain amount of resources to complete and when you scan over a task, the requirements needed are shown as well as the resources you are lacking to complete the task. You can click on several tasks to have the workers complete, a checkmark will appear on the item for every available worker, and flags will queue the rest in numerical order until a worker is free. In Relaxed and Casual modes, the tasks available are circled in green, yellow indicates you will be able to complete the task once the resources collected are delivered to the base camp, red indicates the item is either blocked or you don't have enough available resources. Hercules is the go to guy for removing things no mere mortal could accomplish, and there's always an abundance of boulders and landslides in every game of the 12 Labours series.

The Collector's Edition has 9 Wallpapers, 23 (to the best of my knowledge) Trophies or Achievements to earn, (which can be viewed on the level map) Collectible Puzzle Pieces, Puzzles to complete once all the pieces have been collected, a Strategy Guide, 5 Bonus levels and a Super Bonus Level. Personally, I don't see the need for a SG, and I don't care about cartoonish style wallpapers, and this Standard Edition version has plenty enough levels, making this version at this price point the better choice, enjoy!

I recommend this game!

Not going into the story line, since that's been done. If you've played these before you know the drill. 3 challenge levels, collect puzzle pieces, collect extras on some levels, build stuff, collect stuff, get accomplishments, get extra levels, save Hercules, workers, Megara....
