I think think it's just an incredible game. I love anything Egyptian but this game was better than that. It's extremely fun and challenging although it's quite hard. Some of the things are really hard to solve and some take really long to solve. It's not really a game for impatient people but just so fun, that won't matter anymore. It's an awesome game and just so real looking that it's amazing!

I loved playing this game! I've played it several times through. Some of the puzzles required some time, and since I'm not that great (or that patient!) at solving puzzles, I did use a walkthrough at times, but the game always maintained my interest. There's very little pixel-hunting. I liked the feature of the cursor turning to warp speed whenever I re-traced my steps, because it cut way down on tedious mouse-clicking. I found myself truly immersed in the great pyramids of Egypt. Sometimes I found myself thinking about the game during the day and had to find the time to play it again. Each new screen was more intriguing and beautiful than the prior one, drawing me forward very willingly through the game. The ambient sounds and background music were so perfect - enjoyable without ever intruding. From what I've read, all the artifacts and writings are well-researched and accurate. I thought the ending worked quite well! As an adult, I enjoyed ROTS very much, and with a rating appropriate for Everyone, what's not to like?!

I would get a little creeped out at times playing it because it felt like I was really there in egypt. At times, I'd have to put the game away, I would get so lossed in it...scary but fun!THe game is very exhausting and requires your patience. Patience is something I don't have with games...hence why I 'minused' the one star. I think the game gets a little carried away with the "killer" riddles. I was thinking to myself, "let's get on with it" quite a bit... hence why I minused another star. I mean, three tapes and two pieces of paper, a Bible, mathematical equations...and a combination lock is a little much to open the first chest! But it's also quite educational and, I must say, extremely realistic. I read that years of work went into the graphics and animation of this game, to make it as close to the real thing as it gets!

This is great for anyone interested in egyptology, archeaology, Bible.

I was also surprised but amazed to see the authors of the game are Christian. You don't find many games out there authored by outspoken Christians--appealing to the secular and non-secular industry alike! Bravo!
