5.0 out of 5 stars Different type of hidden objects game, March 26, 2008

First off, I didn't buy this game from Amazon; I downloaded it from the Big Fish website.

Hidden Relics is a hidden objects game but it's a bit different from the ones I've played. This game is really interesting but sometimes downright annoying. Besides the usual hunt for hidden objects (some which are half hidden behind other things), you have to play mini-games to unlock special devices that you need to find special hidden objects that can't be seen by the "naked" eye and those games can be frustrating and some of the devices make it difficult to find the object. With the regular hidden objects, there's a "handbook" that allows you to see exactly what you're looking for before resorting to the hints.

I like the story (played out like a comic strip) but it does get a bit predictable and the music is rather soothing. I find this game to be fun for short periods of time but can get a bit boring after an hour or more of playing.

"Hidden Relics" isn't a bad game; it's mostly a hidden object game (HOG), with Find the Differences, Find 10, etc. between levels ("chapters"). Since the game mostly involves spotting antiques, the Handbook is a VERY useful feature which offers a definition and picture of objects the player selects from the look-for list, and using the Handbook does NOT use up one of the allowed hints.

The game is suitable for the hearing impaired, and a (weak) magnifier is the first purchase players make with stars earned from successful completion of a minigame. Minigames include Hanoi Towers, Memory, and jigsaw puzzles. I found the other purchases less useful.

I wish a little more time had been taken with development of "Hidden Relics;" it has a cheap feel to me. I wasn't fond of the comic strip story, although the comic strips can be skipped. Numerous misspellings litter the entire game, including "pizza cuter" and "loose" instead of "lose."

My wife enjoyed this game greatly. Once she played it through on an easy level, and is now ready to go back and play it on a harder level. Great game for the price.
