The beasts Scylla and Charybdis got Hercules! Help his wife Megara free the hero and then accompany him to the forest of the Amazons and mount Olympus.
This could have been a fun game, but there are far too many glitches in the programming. In the middle of several levels, you are unable to perform functions for which you have the resources, but the cursor is not allowed into the field. Don't waste your money on frustration.

I played in the expert option and found the HOGs were pretty easy, though I didn't intuitively know that clue = glue. The story disappeared after the opening of the game and reappeared at the very end. Not sure were it went in between. I'm glad I only paid $2.99 because I very seriously doubt I will ever play it again.

I found most of the complaints of other reviewers valid, but I happen to like hidden object games and found these of average challenge. I appreciate learning new vocabulary so the rowanberries were fine with me. Must admit though that I found them because I thought they were the flower. ;-) Not having instructions for the mini games was a bit frustrating, but it didn't negate my enjoyment completely. I just skipped those I couldn't figure out. A blog walk through of the mini games would be helpful.
