This game has a lot in common with the other I just reviewed, Amazing Adventures: The Lost Tomb. I purchased this game in a bundle of Popcap games, which in my opinion is the only way you should get a hold of a copy of this game. Still, I wouldn't really recommend this game, unless you have great patience and tolerance for redundant gameplay and repetitive actions. With well over 2000 objects to find, it will definitely take some time - and I took this time to find all of them without taking hints.
One small highlight, however, was the finding of all 50 locks, which would then permit to play the bonus games, as well as looking for all the objects in every of the 25 pictures. There's 25 levels, and on average, you'll have to go through 4 or 5 different places to look for objects.
In my opinion, searching for 80 objects in one level (the highest amount you'll have to find) is just too much. While I did finish the story mode of Escape Rosecliff Island completely, and did have a fair amount of fun with the concept of searching for objects hidden where you'd expect them least, the game very, very quickly became very redundant. If so, buy it if it is on sale for 90 percent off. Verdict: Don't spend 5 dollars for this game unless you happen to enjoy visiting the same hidden object scenes over and over. On the plus side, the artwork is nice, with the hidden object scenes not being overly cluttered, and the items were often cleverly hidden. As much as I enjoy hidden object games, even I found myself overwhelmed with mind-numbing boredom. As you progress along, you begin to see the same hidden object scenes again. Upon completion of the puzzle games, you are rewarded an item to assist in your escape, such as a bucket or a stack of wood. The gameplay consists of you bouncing from one hidden object scene to the next, and as you finish a "level," you complete a simple "puzzle" game such as a word search or matching tiles. There is no dialogue with NPCs, no narration, nothing. There is no explanation as to who the previous resident(s) of the island were, or why the island is now deserted. Not even for the price of 5 dollars.Īpparently the plot states that you have been shipwrecked on Rosecliff Island, and your task is to collect items to help you escape.
I wish I could recommend this game, but I can't.
