As soon as I started this game I was hooked. My teenage daughter enjoyed it too. I have to confess I had to get help in the forums as some of the puzzles were beyond me, but this is the sort of game you have to complete. I'm a big fan of this series... more like this please Big Fish.

Nice game, mother likes, safe for kids. They loves to play this game and this is a good game for learning english. Just give a dictionary to children and encourange them to find out what stays on orange notes. Kids likes to play this game with friends. Only minus is that you need to put limits for time to play (also yourself) and you hear many time a question: "Can I check situation next morning ...Show more

Is it just me? My villagers have demonstrated individual personalities and I have my favorites. I have a six year old village chief and so enjoy when she lectures then plays in rain puddles. One boy grew up the only child in the village playing see-saw by himself and spent his entire childhood gathering mushrooms to keep his village from starving. Now I let him do whatever he wants.
So much talent

Even though the later VV series have a higher resolution and a better way to navigate the space, I still think this 3rd installment is the best. The gameplay is simply cuter and quite logical. You don't need 20 villagers in order to finish the game (like in VV4) and this one has a way to find all the collectibles - something the other VV episodes don't have.
I always set the speed to 'slow'

I always set the speed to 'slow' because I don't want it to end too soon.
Cons: there is no clothing hut, and no after-game motivation to continue, since you cannot buy extra's with tech points.

I played many times and when I finished, it was by discoevering something tha took all the Villagers underground. I never did get into that door put that statue back up because my villagers turned into spoiled teenagers that would not work or be trained. I never could finish a game with everything finished. But it is really worth it to see the villagers together again.
I recommend this game!

This is the only VV game in where you get a cheif for the tribe. The chief has special powers that cna help your villagers along. Whats hilarious is that anyone can be cheif... including a little kid. My second cheif was a five year old girl with fiery red hair. She was so adorable! Concoct magical potions, find delicious honey and figure out how to scare away the sharks so your peeps can fish , ...Show more
