This review is from: Hidden Expedition: Everest (Video Game)

I thought this was going to be another hidden object game that has to be played in small bits and pieces before boredom sets in. But the hidden items are well hidden, and the timer feature adds some excitement. There are timed puzzles here and there that are challenging enough to be fun, but not so hard they are frustrating. It is possible to get tips, but you have to earn them. There is a little to be learned about geography, and my 8-year-old granddaughters have learned the names of a few items they had never seen before. But this game is for entertainment -- not education. There are other "teams" who appear to be competing against the player. We always play this as a team of three, so it is more socially interactive than a lot of computer games.

This game has some really hard to find objects so it's more of a challenge in that way. The puzzles in between are kind of boring and unrelated to the sequence of the game. The extra secret objects seems kind of useless since there is no purpose in finding them. They are not necessary to winning the game.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Poor Game, August 22, 2009

This review is from: Hidden Expedition: Everest (Video Game)

This is a boring and repetitious hidden object game. There is scarcely any plot; finding a totally random assortment of objects somehow gets you to the top of the mountain. There are a few logic puzzles between stages, but nothing that can break the monotony of this uninspired game. Big Fish economizes by using the same scenes more than once--and, indeed, sometimes the same hidden objects in the same scenes. "Everest", like other productions by this company, is entirely inferior to such games as Dream Chronicles or Samantha Swift.
