Fighting the monsters along the way to the Frozen Mountains was good for a while. Why? Because I think the graphics and sound are excellent, but it becomes so repetitive, same only monsters, same sort of battle - Ah yawn!!!
No doubt some reviewers will like it, some may rave about it but for me this is a big Nooooo!!!

Crazy Balls what an apt title! There is a relaxed mode but I found that boring. The other games are fast and furious and you do have to keep your eye on the screen and your finger on your mouse.
It would take a lot of space on here to describe the various games so I'll not bother.
Just try this game. One thing I'm sure of, either you will love it or hate it, either way give it a go!

There is not a lot I can say about this game that has not already been said by the first 4 reviewers and I totally agree with their comments.
Give this game a try. Please don't dismiss it due to the comments made by JeannieT and Grapeleaves. Of course they are entitled to their opinions but I can't understand the reason(s) that they dislike it so much.
It's a hard game to play if you try to beat the Developer's score. It's a fun game whichever mode you play it in and Oh yes, in my opinion, the Tutorial is good. Please note that unlike some games, the clock is stopped whilst an element of the game is explained for the first time.
Go on have some fun, give this game a go!

Royal Envoy 3 based on the trial 60 mins holds no surprises for people who have played previous Royal Envoy Games. If you are playing the "Timed" version then you really have to be quick to gain 3 stars on each level and that is the same with previous games..
Never played any Royal Envoy games? Then buy this one. I only gave this game an "Ok" fun factor because of my comments above.
Will I buy this game? Not in the Collector's Edition but if it comes out in "normal" mode then probably yes.

Some time ago I complained that T.M. games comprised of collecting food, cutting down trees, clearing roads of rubble etc. Well, this game does include cutting down trees and getting rocks BUT there is no food to collect and no roads to clear, Instead you have to rebuild a very run down railway. You have to collect mail for revenue and you also get an automatic rent when the train goes through the station, that is, when you have repaired it! The signal also has to be repaired. No signal, no train, no cash. Bridges and embankments have to be repaired. Timber production can be increased by repairing the sawmill. Oh yes, forgot, repair the water tank, collect water from the well and the train stops to take on water for which you get paid.
You can play this game timed or untimed. Great fun and definitely not your usual T.M. game.

Oh dear what a pity. I'm the proud owner of numerous BFG's, a lot of which are match 3 and I have no difficulty in seeing clearly what I'm doing. The tiles in this game are very small and I don't know why. There is loads of free space on the screen and it seems such a pity to have restricted the tiles to such a small area.
I wear glasses, but I felt the need of a magnifying glass to play this game!
Sorry guys but I'm not going to cause problems to my eyesight trying to play this game.
I gave this game poor to OK ratings. Why? Well as explained above after 10 mins I had to give up!.
Increase the size of the tiles and I'll buy it!!

I have only played the demo but that is enough to make me want to buy it.
Yes, it's the usual collect food. chop down trees etc. but in this game you also dig for gold, build gold mines, go fishing and as a secondary item, build a town. To build a town you need stars. Stars are obtained based on how quick you complete a section that you are currently on. Maximum is 3 stars. I did find that on the untimed mode, upon completion I got 3 stars.(I don't know if that was because I completed within a set time, or if you get 3 stars no matter how long you take to complete) As the game progresses there is more and more to do, but providing you have sufficient gold, food can be purchased. One of your workers can spend his time fishing and further workers can be obtained again if you have sufficient food and gold.
This is a fun game. The graphics are good, the music is not annoying. This game is good for all skill levels.

OK I haven't read all the previous review's, so this moan of mine may have already been covered.
Played on full screen the movement is smooth and causes me no problems at all.
Play all the various types of music so it takes a while to get back to track one!
I love playing the actual board game, so this for me is a great substitute.
So what am I moaning about?
All the names on the board are all well known London landmarks, but try trading - New York names come up!, I haven't a clue where Boardwalk is and there is no way of identifying it with its British counterpart. This makes bidding hard because you don't know exactly what you are bidding for. Surely it can't be that difficult to covert the entire game to London or leave it in New York. One or the other is fine, but both No way!!!
I have recommended the game but, please give consideration to altering the street names and stations to just one city not both.

OK If you have never played a T.M. game like "Royal Envoy" or the "Princes" series, "Roads to Road" etc this really is an excellent game and I'm going to recomend it!. So why was my overall Rating "OK"? Well, it's because it is much of a muchness. There must be something that the designers can come up to replace cutting trees, smashing rock, picking fruit. How about a brick factory, dam construction, flood defences, hey, what about a dockyard to build ships?
Get your thinking caps on chaps.

At first I thought. This is an easy game. How wrong can you be? I think its the 2nd level of the first part of the game that things get tricky with arrows both horizontal and vertical moving the tiles around. There are three levels and I opted for the middle level which was timed but allowed replays until the required score has been obtained.
After quite a few attempts I cleared the first level and the game moved into jigsaw mode. The background depicts what it is you have to create using numerous pieces. but the background is very blurred and although it gives you a clue, there was nothing (that I could see) that informed you that you had placed your piece in the correct position.
That's as far as I have got so far, but I did buy the game.
Some gamers think the graphics are poor, I disagree. They are not the best but they are not poor.
Music, well I never have been a fan because it is so repetative.
For me the level of challenge is excellent. Anyone thinking this game is easy must be a Match 3 Wizard!!!! and Yes, based on all the other games I have purchased I do class myself as "Expert" but not in this particular game. ENJOY!!
