I enjoyed the first Mortimer Beckett, and was definitely looking forward to the new one. I was not at all disappointed. This MB has the player travelling through time, seeking out the pieces of objects that will complete puzzles necessary to advance to the next level. The graphics on this game are truly fantastic. We go with Mortimer throughout time- to ancient Egypt, Camelot, a robot lab in the future, and many more. The puzzles are harder than those in the first game, and the game was longer than the first. Those who loved the first MB, or those who enjoy hidden object games generally should definitely try out this game.

I usually get tired of hidden object hunts but in this game the objects you hunted were relevant and were related to the puzzles you solve. The graphics were really great, and for the first time I can recall I actually enjoyed the music! It was really fun seeing the different scenarios they came up with throughout history. I thought the "robot age" was going to be corny, but it was the coolest one of all. Very nicely done all around.

This is a fun game for a couple hours but I wish it had been longer. After you finish it the first time it does at least change the locations of where things are hidden so as to not be too boring the second time around. Also, as with any downloadable game, you want to download the free trial before purchasing it to make sure it will work on your computer. I don't have a nice graphics card in mine so not every game will work- for instance, Peggle Nights. I can download it and start it but it is too slow to play. The free trial download is a great test that won't cost you anything.

I love hidden object games and looked forward to playing it. Unfortunately, there is a bug in the Pirate Age that doesn't allow the player to proceed to the next age. I've checked various game forums and there are quite a few people who have encountered the same problem and walkthroughs and cheats don't help.

Other than this bug, I love this game and will probably start over with a different player name now that I think I know how to avoid the "bug". Great graphics. I like the pieces being broken up and misplaced and will be buying the other MB games.

These puzzle games are very good and addicting. You seek fragmented pieces of objects and once complete, use them in the game to open up more puzzles or just place items back where they belong. Also you're given a number of how many pieces are left hidden for an object to be completed. I enjoy these games where you use what you find to complete more puzzles. The only downside is having to use the hint button so much more than my spouse.

My hubby bought me this as a gift and paid more than necessary (he doesn't buy on Amazon!) This game is really good! It was very challenging to me, some things more than others. It "kept me busy" for many hours and though I was frustrated a bit in the beginning, once I figured out the idea, I really liked it! I kept the sound off, they were obnoxious to me. I sometimes wished I was locating familiar objects rather than fragments of objects but it was still good. I'm not sure "hidden objects" would be it's best description though, compared to some others I've done. I liked the graphics very much EXCEPT I do not understand why the publishers insist on graphics which of the occult or demonic in nature. It seems in games you have two choices, the occult or cartoonish. This is a shame. One portion of this game especially was extremely distastefull to me. Overall, this is a fun, challenging game for teens and adults. (Of course, kids are smarter than in my day and may be able to do it, but I wouldn't have been able to make 'hide nor hair' of it.) It is not my favorite Hidden Object game but I would recommend it for people who like a good hunt and puzzles!

Great game to play. Long length too. Very clean enjoyable fun and somewhat of a challenge. If you enjoy HOG games, I highly recommend this one.

The graphics in this game are gorgeous and you will enjoy bombing with Mortimer into one colorful era after another, from the Viking age to the robotic age far in the future. You'll meet Caribbean pirates, Louis XVI of France, wild west Indians, King Arthur and Merlin, and Cleopatra and Zeus! You must search for artifacts that are in several pieces and scattered over each whole time zone and you have to figure out what the function of each tool is and where you need to stick it after you assemble it.

The mini-puzzles are great and hard enough to get you thinking, but they are no pushover.The hidden pieces are very cleverly integrated into the background so you'll need sharp eyes to find them! This download is a bargain and Mortimer and the Time Zone are very special. I loved it!

I first played Mortimer Beckett and the Spooky Manor and raced through that game in little over an hour and expected this game to be much like that one, but I was wrong I actually struggled to solve some of the puzzles and place the items. This made for a real fun game to play while traveling on a trip. Coming from a family that is addicted to these types of games it was a great relief to have a new one to buckle down and solve. So this game ranks up in the top of my favorite Hidden Secret games

I'm delighted to have made Mr. Beckett's acquaintance and going along on this adventure has been a hoot! Don't be fooled by the cartoonish graphics. This is anything but a child's game.

Primarily a hidden object game, it's necessary to jump around in time and solve puzzles, replace bits of anachronistic gadgets and generally clean up time travel messes, but all the puzzles are relevant to the game's theme. They also get progressively more difficult. After successfully navigating through Vikings, French Revolutionaries and Caribbean pirates, I'm currently stuck in Ancient Egypt, but have hopes of escaping through the Portal any time now.

Each era has several locations and pieces of objects are found at each site. Before an object can be used at another location, it must be fully assembled and sometimes puzzles must be solved before all the pieces show up. The Hint button is very friendly, and extremely rare options to skip puzzles. Some of the puzzles require advanced reasoning and observation of other sites and can be frustrating (keeping scrap paper at hand is advisable) but not impossible. Yet.

I'm thrilled to see more Mortimer Becketts out there and am counting on a long and fun filled friendship.
