    I really enjoyed playing this game! There was enough variety to keep me occupied, it kept my interest by hopping me back & forth thru different locations. Between finding bits of different objects, & then using those objects in various areas, sometimes to find more object parts, or to effect game play, Treasures of Mystery Island was money well spent. I never quite got over the bizarre male lead's appearance, but hey, they can't all be Sean Connery or George Clooney. The girlfriend story was superfluous, but in the end, that's how a helicopter arrived to fly them off the island, so it was a tad handy. The objects that you find are all game-applicable, instead of being weird stand-outs. The puzzles are fun, not very hard; I especially liked the last one. The game moves along quickly, but there was enough stuff to do during that time that I was satisfied by the end, instead of feeling like there should be more, or something is missing. I highly recommend this game to everyone and I hope y'all give it a try! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    This is a nice Hidden Object Game - Has some good mini games that I haven't see in other games of this type. Some really easy, others need a little thought. You will need to bounce from area to area to complete your tasks, and some of the objects you need to find are broken down really small, and hard to see/find. Fun, non-timed game.

    I'm so over this game. My new rule, don't buy any game where I can't skip the mini games. The burning the hole is what finished me. I guess the sensitivity of my mouse is set too high, but whatever. I don't mind being challenged, but I'm not going to get carpel tunnel trying to play a mini game. In addition, the characters are ugly and it takes forever for the game to load. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Like many of the other posters, I too was hooked by the time my demo hour was up. It's a great HO game, interesting storyline, and the characters are cleverly illustrated. I enjoyed the method of finding pieces to the objects, although many are very hard to find, but that makes it more of a challenge. My only gripe would be the ending, which I think could have been more detailed. Can't wait to play it again soon. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I really like this game, have played it over several times now. It's a hidden object game but with added twists that make the game challenging. It's fun and challenging, I'd recommend buying this game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    The object fragments idea is good, I enjoyed it for a while until I got stuck! I NEVER get stuck! not in HOGs. The 3D characters are ugly and within an hour I played and replayed the same levels over and over again. Pass. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Fun HO/adventure game. Good graphics and interesting format. Nice variety of mini-games that suited the story. Some of the item fragments were nearly off the screen and really hard to find, but recharging hint system helped with that. This game wasn't super-challenging, but not mind-numbingly easy either. It was a fun way to kill a few hours. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    People love it but I do not! It's totally similar to Magic Encyclopedia game. Magic Encyclopedia was enough to me and I don't wanna play another "twin" game after 2 months. Bad, bad, bad, just for fun, not for memorable! You'd better brilliant representative of this genre: Mortimer Beckett 2, than this one! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Great adventure game, decent length, much better than a traditional HOG, at times it was really difficult finding the objects but no timer makes this game a lot of fun. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Really did like this game! Did have to exit and return to game a couple of times to be able to finish a level. Had to get a hint from the walkthrough once! Overall, a very good game - except the disappointing ending - no challenge. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I love Hidden Object games. But this one stumped me. Without the hints and tricks I could not have finished it. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Great HOG! Enjoyed searching for "pieces" of an object to make it "whole" and then interacting between a few scenes at a time to put the pieces where they belong. This HOG is well worth it as it does last more than just a few hours! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    This is the type of HOG/Adventure game that I really like. And to make it more challenging, you don't just have to find things and figure out how to use them, you find only pieces of items. Sometimes this is difficult as pieces are very small. But overall this is a great game, great graphics and challenge. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Had a great week-end playing it. Love the gameplay and the difficulty was hard enough without being frustrating. Alex looks odd though! Another great offer from Alawar after Treasure Masters and Magic Encyclopedia. Way to go! Keep them rolling! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I like games like this (locate items, interact with items, etc..) I am not sure about the replay value OR if the game would take long to complete. I hate buying a game playing for 3 hours and then you are done! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Not impressed. Game ran really slow and clunky and the clicker accuracy was off. The game itself felt slapped together with an illogical order to how the puzzles had to be completed. The HO scenes were tedious to complete and the minigames were so simple it was silly. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Alawar is on a roll right now with the interactive HOG's. Even though the locations aren't as eye-catching as those in "Magic Encyclopedia," there are no repeats and it doesn't feel stale. There are puzzles and it is still challenging. Once again, during this outing you're finding hidden pieces in order to make full objects. I wish the game was a little longer, but it's a satisfying hunt. Kudos to Alawar, they get it right...AGAIN! They've done their homework. Grade: A Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Loved this game, lovely grahics, good mini games, the mortimer beckett style gives it that something extra, rather than the common HO style, and good difficulty level, not too easy, but challenging enough (maybe with a little help) without getting frustating, ample hints, also like the untimed and no penalty clicking part, only thing missing is the skip option for mini games, will be adding this one to my ever growing collection.

    Average graphics, average story so far (I covered 1/3 of the island in 1h), illogical puzzles (why must I put a pine cone on top of a door before I'm allowed to fix a leaking pipe???) illogical situations (basically, an island filled with junk...), buggy click detection (to put flowers in a vase, you must click 20 pixels above the vase). Good points: it's a Mortimer Beckett clone, so at least the gameplay is good. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I must admit I loved this game also. It is hard enough for the most advance player. I the only thing I did not like was that there was no skips for the mini games. You have to play them all. But aside from that it was great. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Going to buy this one. Its worth the testing and also the buying. It's just like magic encyclopedia in its puzzle method. Didn't experience any bugs. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
