Mystery of the Ancients: Three Guardians Collector's Edition

Enjoyable HOPA game with nice visuals and music. Resolution suffers a little in widescreen, but it's not distorted. In this entry in the series, you head off to answer a distress call from your niece, whose long-time boyfriend has disappeared. By the time you arrive, ravens are terrorizing the town, most of the townsfolk have disappeared, and there are weird curses (and sparkly HO scenes) everywhere. The game blends a few genres, but it's mostly "present world meets fantasy world that we just weren't aware of". The game has some weaknesses, but I have no hesitation recommending it. Pros: - lovely art and scenery, nice music - standard but enjoyable story - bonus chapter is short but has plenty to do - hidden object scenes are varied and fun (shapes, word lists, and interactive) - minigames (puzzles) are varied, if on the easy side [and see under Cons, below] - interactive map and three choices of difficulty - in-game achievements - collectibles are the right level of difficulty (9 statuettes plus one squirrel per main scene) Cons: - objects were rarely re-usable - one puzzle used throughout the game was "connect the dots"; this was neither fun nor interesting, and if I weren…

This is [I]Mystery of the Ancients[/I] #3, another excellent entry in this series. Graphics and animations are especially wonderful, but really the complete package is excellent, with solid hidden-object scenes and excellent puzzles. My only disappointment is in the voice acting, which veers from meh to annoying. Strongly recommended.

Collect it Worthy. Always wondered how it ended after finished 60 minutes in Big fish game demo. Seems the Full game is bit different like others. You play as Auntie, so Female Protagonist, aka female hero, who solves things where others can't. 1st story is intro of world into intrigue and magic. Like: I like intrigue bit, Every person is vanished by crow. Dislike: wish the intrigue was longer, need to find 20 chapter hidden object game. Hey Big Fish games do you know that sort game? Personal Opinion: art and music very amazing. Its a keeper. Not going ask for refund. I am going keep it.

Despite no steam achievements, the puzzles were pretty fun.

fun atmosphere, variety of HOG and puzzles. i played on easy

it was all good not amazing but yeah
