Video Game Reviews of Egypt & Egypt 2 (Jewel Case)
Customer Review: Egypt 1 and Egypt 2
Summary: 5 Stars
In truth, I have only gotten the chance to play the first game in the two game pack so far. Both games have been on my list of ones to buy for a while and I took the plunge. I had to go in and change the compatibility setting on my computer for the game to run smooth, once that was done all things went well.
Egypt fans will be very happy to get this game. The fact that the game developers,writers, The country of Egypt and a museum there (can't recall the name at present) took the time to work together and make the lay of the land historically correct and also the insides of the tombs historically correct was a real bonus plus to have discovered after the purchase of the game set. I found myself taking the time during game play to look around and tour, if you will, to see the sights. The game has some interesting puzzles in it and a few good surprises too.
Be warned if you decide to purchase this game. If you miss one or any of the important clues in the game you cannot go back to get them. You have to start over. I missed one of the clues early on and didn't realize I hadn't executed it properly for it to register until near the end of the game and had to start over from an early point in play. The game also has a couple of traps in it. If you pick up a couple of items that you are not supposed to it's curtains for you. Save the game often and before starting ANY new puzzle. You never know when that one will come up that you grab the wrong thing and then go you the big tomb in the sky.
I enjoyed playing the game, even when I found out I had to go back to near the beginning and get an important clue for the near end of the game.
This point and click game is a real winner in my book. I would be very surprised if the second game in the set didn't meet or exceed the first.
It will cause me to pay strict attention and save the game a bit more than I did the first one.
I would recommend this game to anyone who likes the role playing format.
I know I will be playing it again in the future.
The fact that I accomplished my own work around at one point where I got stuck in the game and had a favorable outcome the third time that I played it gave me a sense of cracking the rock a little differently.
I did find the back ground music a bit annoying in the game, there is a setting where you can turn it down or off altogether. I tried turning it down at first,then finally just turned it off.
Be sure and read the README file, I printed a copy out, it gives some important information for changing settings that may allow you to play the game smoothly. On a scale of 1-10 I give it 9.5.
