Good game – Atlantis 3: The New World (Universal) Review

Unlike a previous reviewer I like the graphics, though not the Near-East type world they create at the beginning of the game. Fortunately that world is left behind soon. Judging this game by comparing it to most games out there, I'm giving it five stars. I love this type of straightforward, gimmickless adventure game, and the occasional humor was nice. But I got spoiled by some of the other Microids games out there, such as the two Dracula games and Amerzone, and this one seemed a bit more choppy and less consistent, probably because it contained more worlds. I may also have a bias toward dark, Dracula-type themes. But I'll gladly replay this game before I play another silly hidden objects game. SPOILERS If you're still wandering in the hills, look for a cave. If you have no stick to make a fire, it's because you haven't found the right stick yet. If the two sages don't answer your questions, it's because you haven't approached them in the right order. ("Come child" means come ask ME the next question.) If you want to win this game, don't just look straight ahead, look all around you, including the ground.
