I'm always super sus about playing older games. Let's face it, we have come along way in the gaming world! Having said that, this game was SO good. Like everything about it. It was a long game with lots of locations. You had several things to do in each location too. If you are looking for a game to play because you have played all the new ones, PLAY THIS ONE!
7 Year old game, and better than a lot of newer games!

Wowie Wow Wow! This game was everything and more. I am so glad I took a chance and played it. I usually don't like to play anything past 2016. The graphics are usually pretty generic. And although the graphics weren't exactly crystal clear, that was part of the appeal. It definitely made the HOP harder:).
Oh and this is the most important part. There was a part in this game that literally made me JUMP BACK! Scared the crap right out of me. lol!! I have played a lot of games that try really hard to scare you and fail miserably. Mad Head managed to scare the daylights out of me without really trying.
The story was GREAT. The HOPs were GREAT. The games were GREAT. Everything about this game was GREAT!!
You actually have to play this game, it doesn't do it for you. Like you need the door open, you have to turn the knob. You need to put 5 items in the box, you have to put each item exactly where it goes. I appreciate that. Most games do everything for you and I prefer to do it myself. Makes me feel like its actually me doing it, not me playing a game.
I had to submit a review to boost the unfair rating it was given. This game was so much more than all the other HOPs out there. It made you think outside of the box. Not just the same routine that is in every game. Oh the zippers broke, or oh I need to pick this lock, blah, blah blah.
You get to keep the important tools, which I think is great, I never understood why you always got rid of a knife only to need it again a minute later. And contrary to what the other reviews on this page said, you can turn off the feature so it doesn't let you know when you need it.
One last thing. The HOPs are the BEST I have EVER seen. You had to really look for them, like really look!
I loved this game so much! It was an older game so I wasn't sure if it would be as good as some of the newer ones, but it was actually better!!! It was a super long game and held my interest all the way through. I loved that it had 4 different stories and loved how creepy the characters were even more. This is a must have!
Absolutely loved everything about this game. I haven't found a good pirate series since Nightmares from the Deep. I have yet to play the others in this series, I am so hopeful that they are just as awesome as this one. Love Eipix!
Not the greatest game in the world, but far from the worst! Just Ok. I haven't played a game in this series before, read some reviews and kinda got myself hyped up to play it. The story never really goes anywhere and I feel like half way through it they started rushing the story along. You know what I mean, like when you have 6 people/worlds/objectives to go through and the first 3 are super detailed, take a lot of time and effort and then the last 3 (whatever you are trying to accomplish) are right there in front of your face or magically falls from the sky??? I think the creators may have gotten just as board making it as I did playing it. Meh.... That is how I'm leaving this game... Meh.....
I have never played this series, but I love Eipix games so I thought I would give it a try. I literally forced myself to play it. I switched the difficulty to easy so I could get through it as quickly as possible, skipping most of the game. Some were different and I liked that part, but even the HOP were pretty lame. I bought the one before this in the series (BOGO) so hoping that one is better. Fingers crossed!
I am running out of things to play so I started to play older versions of some of my favorite series. Most do not even come close to the level of quality of the newer ones. This one was a great game. Yeah you can tell in the graphics that its older, but with the interesting story, the awesome places you go, and the challenge level, I promise you will hardly notice the older graphics. Oh and you defiantly get your moneys worth. This is a long game!
I am at the point where I feel like I have played every game ever and am dying for a new game that I can thoroughly enjoy. This game definitely did that. It was new and innovative. The story line was good. I just really enjoyed it and I am sad that I have to find another game.
