it is a bit distracting at first to have the two brother characters moving around on the game board because they don't really do aything except 'supervise' the workers. otherwise, it is a fun game.
You can earn gold, silver, or bronze, depending on how long it take you to complete the level. There is also a bonus puzzle on each level which gives you a ribbon if you solve it. However, the bonus does not prevent you from earning gold or proceeding to the next level which I really liked. I do wish there was something on the road map that indicated whether you had earned the bonus.
There is a casual/relaxed mode--I like that. The graphics were a bit clumsy. Game kept taking me to the main introduction screen between levels--why doesnt it just go to the map? I think Island Tribe is more colorful, fun, and cheerful.
I like the multiple modes such as easy and relaxed. fun but not too difficult for those of us who are not as fast on the mouse. When will Island Tribe 4 arrive? Soon I hope!
