Adobe Flash player was disabled, and this game requires it to even download. I wish that Big Fish games would have removed this title. As it is now, this game is completely uninstallable. There is no way to play it that I have found. I've tried to install past versions of flash player, however all the ones I've found crash before they can be installed.
I repeat, do NOT buy this game. I only give it the 5 Star rating so it'll be visible to people. This is not a playable game, and not worth the money I've spent on it. If I can't find a workaround, I'm going to ask Big Fish for a refund and to pull the game since it's no longer able to run. Show less
I don't recommend this game.

The Virtual Villagers games are my favorite game series. The Tree of Life game is a wonderful strategy game. The graphics and sounds are quite good, particularly the music. As with the rest of this series, there are many objects to collect, tasks to do in order to gain points and keep the villagers going, and specific tasks to accomplish to reach the ultimate goal of saving and healing the Tree of Life. It is challenging and takes time, and it's a great stress-reliever; a fun little virtual world to escape into. Good family game, too. If you like virtual life type games and strategy games, you will enjoy this one. If you like the Virtual Villager games, you will love this! Show less

I tried the first two virtual villagers games being skeptical but I loved the challenge. This is even better! More collectibles to find, beautiful graphics of the forest, a new storyline.. and a whole new technology! I loved bringing the tree back to life. it took a while but it was so much fun!
If you loved the other virtual villagers games you'll no doubt love this one!
I recommend this game!

i'd give it infinity/10. i don't think it's fair to waste 5000 science points on a new outfit though... try this game or you'll be sorry! seriously i'll give you 5 cents to play it. you should also try my tribe and puppy or kitten sanctuary.
I recommend this game!

I have been playing the Virtual Villagers series for about six years now since I was nine or so. These have been my absolutely favorite games for my pc.

I have been playing the Virtual Villagers series for about six years now since I was nine or so. These have been my absolutely favorite games for my pc. I am rarely allowed to buy any games but two I have are The Tree of Life and Lost Children. The level of challenge is very high on any Virtual Villagers game. Even if you do figure out all of the puzzles, it is very easy to forget how to specifically accomplish each one, which makes it like playing the game all over again. The fact that you can control so many characters at one time is another factor that adds to the entertainment of the game. I would highly recommend this game or any of the other Virtual Villagers games to any prospective buyers. They are very cheap and very entertaining and worth every dime. Show less
