5.0 out of 5 stars Real Time Tribe, February 20, 2009

This review is from: My Tribe [Download] (Software Download)

This is a cute, family friendly game. You start off with a handful of characters that all wash up on shore on the island you select. You can set priorities for individual tribe members, such as gathering food, construction, or science. You can also designate building to be constructed. Creating new characters is accomplished by clicking one tribe member onto an adult tribe member of the opposite sex, and then you have a small infant running around the island. Each character has his or her own strengths. This is a casual, fun game. Since the game is in real time, your people will age and continue to work, even you are not playing the game. If you enjoy Tycoon games, you will probably like this game as well.

I've been playing for about a month, and one day I opened the game and couldn't change players. When I hit the change user button, the game crashed. I searched online for a solution, only to find that MANY people had this same problem/complaint...and there were no solutions posted that I could find. I emailed Grubby Games customer support two days ago, but I've rec'd no reply.

However, up until this problem, it was a cute little game. It doesn't take up much time in a sitting, since you only need to check up on your tribe every once in awhile...not too much action besides that. If you like instant gratification and fast-paced games, this one isn't for you. If you like long-term projects and don't want to consume too much time playing each time you check in, then you'll probably enjoy My Tribe.

One other technical problem, which is annoying but not crippling, is that the game automatically changes the resolution settings on your display and doesn't return them back to normal after you shut it off. It's slightly irritating when desktop items will be rearranged and you'll have to visit the control panel to re-adjust your resolution, each time you exit the game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Fun for the Price, August 11, 2010

My Tribe is a very fun game for the small price. It is easy to play and the gameplay is enjoyable and addicting. If you've ever played Virtual Villagers, My Tribe is very similar, but a little more advanced. It introduces new features that you can customize the game with.

The premise of the game is a tribe of people washes up on a little island, and you have to help them build shelter, obtain food, and survive. The game begins by letting you choose your island from millions of islands, choosing one you like. You must give the tribespeople jobs (i.e. catching fish, farming, constructing buildings, researching, harvesting wood or rocks).

Now here's a really cool feature completely unique to My Tribe - you can make magic potions! To do this, you mix ingredients you can find on the island. They do many different things, so you can try out many possibilities.

There are also three mysteries on the island - each island has a certain combination of the seven mysteries - and you can solve them. When you do, you might just get a cool surprise!

Also, your tribe ages even while you're not playing. Leave the game for a few hours - come back, and you may find things very different from the way you left them! It's always fun to come back and see how your tribe is faring.

My Tribe is very fun, and worth the price. It will keep you amused and excited for hours.
