Hidden Expedition: this game is keeping me young!
Izzyoc
Another fun game in the Hidden Expedition series (by Eipix). Liked the snarky dialog, nice clear graphics. Story is not too original but I did like the location (Sri Lanka) and the information on the actual site that the game provides. Collectable gold cogs in each scene, plus morphing objects in the HOGs and collectable fact cards. No customizable mode (this is Eipix after all), but there is a transportable map which shows active locations. However, I was unhappy about the 6-7 second lag between scenes. Solid 4 stars - enjoy!

Good game, however, cannot get into mint even tried reloading. Am I doing something wrong or does it need fixing?
Eh

Tedious and frustrating to me. Too much going on. Graphics are beautiful as always. Wait for the free trial.
Be Young at Heart with Fountain of Youth!

Who guessed that I always wished to be an archaeologist? Hidden Expeditions: Fountain of Youth lets me do that! And I already have neat tools like a computer and a walkie-talkie. We are in Sri Lanka looking for lost treasures of Magellan -- but, of course, the bad guys have arrived here first. Good Hint button helps a lot! You get collectible gold gears in each scene, and puzzles are varied and fun. Hidden Object scenes are well-labeled and colorful so far. You actually get to sucker punch a bad guy for some extra fun. I like this one, and it's lots of fun for the long weekend.
Fountain of Youth - torn on this one

The good: long game, decent map, real plot, any vermin are hardly noticeable and brief if at all. The Bad: no custom difficulty, phone calls from headquarters interrupt the story and don't add squat to the plot The Ugly: not every mini game offers skip. I'm at I assume the end. I'm supposed to make the picture come into focus through several layers of semi transparent pieces of the same darn picture and I have a migraine and there IS NO SKIP! Giving us a difficult puzzle with no skip is torture! Hint button only gives you instructions not help. NOT COOL! Verdict: buy if you are a glutton for punishment or fan of the series. Just remember you were warned!
Frustrating

Several of the games do not perform well. There is no option to skip so one cannot proceed. Very frustrating. Unable to finish the game as the scene at the end where one is instructed to focus simply does not work. There is no option to skip so cannot proceed.
Could be fun but stuck on the Mint! Frustrated.

I had been enjoying this game until I got to the Mint. Can't get past this point! Tried everything even deleted and reloaded. Stuck! Why isn't there a Skip here? Tired of trying. Forget this game. Decided to reload 3rd time. If this doesn't work, refund me.
I'll Have The "Fountain Of Youth" Special, Over Ice, Please!

You can complete the last puzzle: Use whichever hand button is needed to move the figure into the silhouette shape located in or around the middle-left side of the screen; it really doesn't snap into place, so use your judgement. Use the OTHER button to move the half-completed figure into the second silhouette shape located in or around the upper-left side of screen; then let go. This worked for me, and I was able to move on. This installment, from one of my all-time favorite series, is a delightful example of cross-genre as it blends together two distinct themes with their respective elements -- action-packed Adventure and the Supernatural -- to create an alluring experience; you will be startled by the bewildering and enigmatic twists and turns along the way, which hold me in a transfixed state of curiosity. The plot successfully achieves spellbinding climaxes as you undergo strenuous tests during your fight for survival; these essences are highlighted as you endure dangerous travel through exotic, uncharted territory and as you endeavor to retrieve an artifact, which is the key to the "fountain of youth," before it falls into the wrong hands. The artwork exhibits a spin-off of the remnants of the ancient Asian-Pacific civilization known as Sigiriya, which is located in Sri Lanka, with its encompassing network of gardens, ponds, canals, fountains, and a magnificent palace -- all surrounded by jungle-covered hills. From a geographical and artistic perception, there are many embellishing details to sparkle your fancy, such as the ornately jeweled statues holding offerings to their deities and a rock-cutout palace containing an enormous lion's head and a stone stairway leading up to the heavens (loosely based on the real-life World Heritage site known as "The Lion Rock," which depicts two giant lion paws on both sides of the stairway, exclusive of the head itself). Some of the characters are fleshed out a bit, especially the "baddies"; you are often hindered by the evil-minded antagonists who exhaustively detour you away from attaining your goal of freeing your co-agents. The graphics = horrible. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. No custom settings again; in second mode, you are hindered by sparkles and random-tap penalties. Then, of course, the teleport map does not indicate available actions, which renders its main function as moot. As it is customary with this developer, the HOS are varied, as well as innovative in presentation and ideas. Some of the puzzles are mechanically oriented, such as the one where you move chains of circular objects around a maze to their proper spot in order to open a door. You are also graced with the infamous puzzle-board format or the "super" puzzle, which is comprised of a web of individual mini-games that are meshed together where one solution advances another solution. Some of the collectibles are traditional in substance; they are not too difficult to spot. One distinguishable collectible is academic in nature and not confined to just discovering them. To sum it up, this is a fun, fast-moving adventure filled with creativity and an informative approach; it's just missing a few key features that would have completely capped it off. This is why I've deducted a star; however, I still suggest playing this since it's a step or two up from the last couple of flops.
Fabulous!!!

Really one of the best games ever. Clever hops, sophisticated puzzles and gorgeous graphics. The most Impressive treat to me was finally a story that made sense. I usually ignore the story because they're so ridiculous. Quality game with collectibles, morphing, hints and map with very smooth game play. Can hardly wait for next one. Thanks!!!!
