I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. Colourful game with great characters and the legendary story line. Hints are helpful. Puzzles enjoyable, HOS scenes are interactive and do repeat. Played with grandson who was enthralled.

I recommend this game!

this is a great game. i had a good time playing it. it could have been longer but i still really enjoyed it. the graphics were great and the hints/skips recharged fast. the hint button will tell you where to go next. it is a game where a person can relax and just play. the mini games probably would be easy for others. i usually have trouble with them.

Completed: This is nice GREEK find. The graphics are beautiful, clear and sharp. The puzzles are range from easy to medium. The story good though you have to read the texts. And I loved the musical score it was fantastic.

I recommend this game because it's perfect for almost any age. And it's not scary or creepy or dooming in gloom. Great for the family!

I recommend this game!

I really loved this game. Players who are used to modern pastel-like graphics might find a need to adjust to this game's graphics, but I thought they were just right for the theme: just the way you see history depicted in art, museums, etc. In other words, it's like an artist painting historic scenes. Great job!

I really loved this game. Players who are used to modern pastel-like graphics might find a need to adjust to this game's graphics, but I thought they were just right for the theme: just the way you see history depicted in art, museums, etc. In other words, it's like an artist painting historic scenes. Great job!

The story is really interesting too. I don't know enough about the historic Odysseus to be sure whether the game's story conforms 100% to the legend, but it certainly seems to be "legendary enough" all the same. The music is very good also, and is especially suited to the game's theme. The hidden-object scenes are quite fair, as are the puzzles. The only thing I missed was voice-acting; but maybe that might have only spoiled the game, especially this one. We all do tend to have our own idea of how a character - especially a legendary figure - should sound. So the lack of voice-acting might have been intentional - or at least can be "excused" - for that reason.

In short, I really loved this game, and would highly recommend anyone to play it! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is an excellent offering from Rainbow Games; the graphics are very sharp & clear with nice artwork. I enjoy history & this is a story about which I know very little so this fascinates me. There are a few anachronisms, for instance in a hidden object scene there were tomatoes but this did not spoil my enjoyment.

The music was very good & I also liked the background sounds. It is not widescreen even with the full screen option ticked but I really didn’t notice the black bars as I was engrossed in completing the tasks.

There is a very good mix of H0’s & mini games for which there is a skip button. In easy mode there are lots of sparkles & glints (even in the H0 scenes for the interactive items) with a 20 second hint recharge. In harder mode there are only sparkles for the H0 scenes & a 60 second hint. The hint button is very good, if you get stuck use it to find where to go next.

One negative for me was that the characters mouths moved but there was no voiceover & it was a little disconcerting; I would have preferred them to remain closed if only written dialogue is to be used Show less

I recommend this game!

Very rich environment, lovely graphics and artwork in HOS. Easy to follow and not confusing or overloaded with finickity objects or content as some HO games are. Also, I agree - nice to have a break from the occult-type games that seem to be flooding the market and which are not good for young people especially to be playing. "What gets the mind gets you".

I recommend this game!

The gameplay was a mixture of hidden object and adventure leaning more towards the hidden object side. I enjoyed the creativity in the inventory items. I thought the game got better as it went along. It's sectioned off into separate chapters each chapter with it's own unique areas and goals. The first chapter was probably my least favorite. Show less

Based on The Odyssey - the chapters are about different tales but certainly not all, from the book. Good ratio of HOS (which may be triggered by looking around the scenes and objects may be very well hidden) and puzzles (ranging from very easy to somewhat challenging). Locations are bright and colorful. Usually 3 scenes per chapter. If you liked the book, you'll like game. Enough to keep you busy ...Show more
