To me this is an extraordinary game. The graphics are really stunning, the voiceover is great, the story-line unfolds in just the adequate time, there are so many little things which make you smile because they are so neatly done. I love this game. Thank you developers for giving us such a pleasure-time playing. (oh, to note for frightful people: it is not as dark as some other games of this serie's and i think that is good!)
I recommend this game!

This is one of the most boring games i ever played and this really is a pitty, because i loved the serie's. I don't know, what made the developers make the path so slowly... it is as if one had put the remote on slowmotion - it could have been a great game if the storyline and the number of locations had been tightened. The music doesn't fit at all to the story, which was very irritating and because of the slowlyness with which the game proceeds, i stoped playing at all... too sad, could have been a good game.
I don't recommend this game.

Lately i notice the tremendous quality of the storytelling in games from this developer. The stories are given room to grow and they do have a depth that is beyond the normal good versus evil. The graphics are not just gorgeous in itself, they do serve the story. For me to play these games is as if i was diving into a movie where i play the major role and all can unfold in its own time. Time and Space are of the essence in order to be able to build something real epic! I love this special way to build a game very very much!!!
I recommend this game!

This is an extremely well built game! It's gameflow is so smooth that it is a - for me not often experienced - pleasure of just sliding along - as if we were iceskating. And i know that it needs a lot of thoughts and work on the side of the developers to get this achieved!!! Therefore i am very thankful for their work. What also add to the joy for me was, that the developers dit not use their normal tiny cursor and tiny little objects to search - this results often only in starring at my monitor to try to see the tiny things or to see through the dark. In this game all can be seen very well and clearly. I do love the collectables as i did find a lot of them and this also adds to the joy - there some games where i don't even notice the searchitems, but here i did and succeeded. And i did like the story to unexpectedly become the owner of a castle and to have to solve the riddle to restore peace and harmony again. For me this is a perfect rainy day game, i enjoy it very much!!!
I recommend this game!

I really wanted to like this game. For all because the first one of this serie's with the spring that didn't come was such a great story. But this game is not at all on this level. There are very strange and sometimes even absurd minigames (the sextant - i do not get this game, it is too dark to see, at which end of the four ends the sequence starts - and there is no skip-button, you don't get further thus!!!) , the idea of hiding hidden-objects in like stonelike carving is being used now in almost every game - which results in complete boredom, the making it more complicated to work through a HO-scene surely was a good idea in the beginning of this innovation in HO-games, but now it is also only adding to feeling bored. What disappointed me most, was that the game doesn't play at all in the medieval town but in what looks like "oh, let's recover some of the backgrounds we already used" - you start in a town, but you land on a ship, very logical:-(. Dear developers i really like your work, but this game just didn't have the sparkle, the inspiration of your first Myth of the World game. This is just not the solid and inspiring work, we know you for.
I don't recommend this game.

There is something special about the graphics of this serie's and i do love this very very much. For me it feels so real... that is, how it has looked in the middle ages, it wasn't that neat as we imagine... it was dirty, the ordinary houses were built from what was there... i do love that so much because it makes me feel as if i really was on a timetravel. I did love this with the last release of this serie's and i do love it now. For me this is one of the things that make this serie's stand out! As the story and all the details have been told already, i spare this. What i really liked were the minigames (it's so nice not to have to use the skip-button) and the HO, which were very varied. But what i loved most really are the graphics!!!
I recommend this game!

I didn't want to write a review as so many had already done this, but i just have to. This game is a real masterpeace!!! It's raising the standard so much that other games won't have it easy to compete with it. The graphics are nog gorgeous but insanly perfect done, the 3 d is amazing, the camera sliding makes the scenery so real, the story is very fascinating - it is a real masterpiece. I was informed that my review didn't follow the guidelines, but i cannot understand what is wrong. I wrote about MY experience, i wrote about the graphics, the camera-sliding, i don't get what is wrong with my opinion!!!
I recommend this game!

This is a great game. It has cute little minigames that are so well included into the flow of the story, it really is amazing. And what i do like very much: these great patterns of indian art shown on clothes and carpets... i do collect patterns and i really liked this one, sometimes i even forgot to go on playing just looking around and admiring the work of the developers to create such beautiful places! And the voice-acting was excellent, very fitting to the individual character. A joy to play:-)

I am very disapointed with this game. It's no pleasure to play at all. It has a very bad structure in that you carry lots of stuff around in your inventory, always get to new places with even more stuff attached and it is no fun at all to play. I hated it so much that i deleted it... i am very disappointed as the other installments of this serie are way much better and i had hoped for the same gamepleasure here.. not:-(
I don't recommend this game.

If there ever was a game that one just HAD to buy, then this one is it. Nothing more to say. It is transcending all the stories i so far played and the 3d-graphics are more than gorgeous. What i do appreciate very much with this developers is, that they always come up with totally new stories with very different backgrounds. They are brave, these Mad Heads:-))) - And excellent!!!
I recommend this game!
