Well, this games not going to win an Oscar, but I really enjoyed playing. I'm not going to sugar coat it, the graphics are pretty basic and simplistic, not horrible just not top notch. What this game does have is an interesting pirate tale and a ton of mini games, with a dash of hidden object scenes. You are the Captain of the ship that crashes into an island by an unknown green force. As the sole survivor, (or so you think) you need to scour the island for survival and find out what this mysterious green force is capable of. Because the graphics are so basic, the hidden object scenes tend to be on the easy side, but they are interactive and you have the option of playing a matching mahjong game instead. There were a ton of mini games, nothing really new but they were really fun. My favorite game was trying to guide a button down a grid with rotating flags, for every move you make, the flags rotate 1/4 turn and if they touch your button you start all over. Although this is just a Standard Edition, it does have a custom option for difficulty and an interactive map for quickly moving around the island. You will find a macaw named Mr. Gibbons to help you on your journey and you find gold doubloons throughout the island in order to repair your ship. I for one really enjoyed this pirate themed adventure and I think you will too. Show less

I recommend this game!

I totally recommend this game and give it 5 stars. The graphics to me are superb. The reason they look a little different is because of the 3D effects put into the game. Just an example, the water looks so realistic. Awesome VO's on this game as well. I am totally intrigued with the story and like Suede I have to see it to the end.

I totally recommend this game and give it 5 stars. The graphics to me are superb. The reason they look a little different is because of the 3D effects put into the game. Just an example, the water looks so realistic. Awesome VO's on this game as well. I am totally intrigued with the story and like Suede I have to see it to the end. This has everything of a CE (in fact it was better than the last CE I played, Order of the Light) except the strat guide. You also get Capt Langley's McCaw Mr. Gibbons. Very helpful bird and saves the use of ladders :)

Story: Your ship is in a storm and you crash into a huge rock darn near demolishing your ship and you're washed up on some island. Your crew is wiped out and on top of that you run into Capt. Langley who is cursed by the ring he is wearing. It gives him strong powers. His ship too crashed like our captain's and he lost his crew along with his bride to be Claire. Between the curse of the ring and the bitterness of his deceased love, he is planning to make our captain's life a living heck.

Graphics: Superb. I love that 3D effect it's so cool. In the H0GS no problem what so ever finding the objects.

Mini Games: On the challenging side and completely made for this game. I haven't had no problems with them. The only one that really gave me a challenge was the skeleton teeth one. Keep clicking teeth and pray.

Music: Totally befitting for this game. Very nicely done.

H0GS: Yellow word interactive H0GS. If your not sure what goes with what in those, just click on one half of it and the Capt. usually tells you what you need. I have seen this done in other games.

Map: Tells you there is something to be done at a place by a green exclamation point. I love that as it really helps not to get stuck. It also is a jump map.

Hint System: Works in and out of H0G scenes. Very helpful hint button.

All in all Kudos to the team for making this game. I am truly going to enjoy it. It doesn't matter that I will lose the punch because this game to me is totally worth. I have to see what happens. Show less

I recommend this game!

The storyline unfolds slowly, told by one of the survivors of another shipwreck. It is an interesting story.

Hidden object games are relatively easy. They are interactive. I enjoyed them. Mini games range from moderately easy to difficult, especially the mini game with the golden tooth. It drove me crazy but it was a lot of fun.

There is a diary, a map, and my favorite, a little animal helper, this time a parrot that you rescue from a cage in the cave. He can retrieve things for you that you cannot reach.

You collect dubloons in order to make repairs to your ship.

This game is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it. Show less

* Casual, Normal, Hard and Custom modes of play;
* Interactive map;
* Diary;
* Mr Gibbons, the parrot, to help you get items out of reach;
* Find lots of doubloons (coins) to fix the ship.

* Find lots of doubloons (coins) to fix the ship.

The graphics are lovely - crisp and with plenty of colour. Even in the darker scenes, like in the caves, it is easy to find everything you need.

Sound is very good and the music is orchestral.

You can turn off Skip and Hint to make the game more challenging, which is an absolute favourite of mine.

The hidden object games are slightly interactive straightforward, some of which you do twice. These don't take long to do because every item is clear to see. However, if you feel like a change then you can play Mahjong instead.

There are a huge range of mini-games to play and I loved all of them. Most of them are relatively straightforward and fairly easy to do, but some of them took a while to get to their right places and colours. A couple of them took me about 20 minutes each - what looked easy turned out harder than I thought.

Throughout the game you will find doubloons (coins) to fix the ship.

Early in the game you will rescue Mr Gibbons, the parrot, who will keep you company and to get items out of your each.

All up the game took me about 6 hours to play, not skipping or hinting anything, which is good value for money.

Overall, a fantastic game with lots of bells and whistles. I liked the characters to the story and really felt that I wanted to help them. I'm sure you will love this too. The game is sort of old school but I think its a classic. This game can be played by all members of the family and definitely a great time filler between all the other much bigger games we play.

Well worth playing this game - its a gem. Happy playing fishies. Show less

I recommend this game!

I really loved this game. The art and graphics are amazing. You really feel like you are in a swamp or a jungle. The rivers actually look real. Lots of mini-games and HOGs. Extra points for the search items actually fitting the time period and story! Items were large enough to find without eyestrain. Good interactive map. Good story line. Easy to follow.

I recommend this game!

I started this game this morning, and now it's finished, partly due to an interactive map, so it made it much easier to get around, and it took you straight to where you were next needed.
At first, because there's no walkthrough, I thought, have I done right, well yes I did, I'm sorry it's finished.
great game, loved it
