A Game Review: MYST

Well, I tried a new game for my DS this month. I got MYST. I have been toying with it the last couple of months, but let me tell you, I wish I had read some of the reviews out there before getting it. I had the game for PC years ago and never made much headway with it. I was intrigued by it, but had much more success with 7th Guest and 11th Hour.

Since it is on DS, I thought I would give it a whirl. Hey, maybe I am smarter now...maybe becasue the platform is now the DS, it has gotten easier...wrong on both counts.

If anything, the game has gotten harder. I am stuck in the first world I went to visit because even though I have my sounds lined up in proper order, the game refuses to recognize that! I even went online to a cheat site (which I try very hard not to do)...I put the game up last night, feeling more than a little bit disgusted with the whole thing. I will give it a couple of days and try again, but all of the reviews I read, said the same thing...the audio on the game is hard to understand and that is an important component of the game.

Moral of the story...LOOK FOR ONLINE REVIEWS BEFORE purchasing...you can often save yourself a lot of grief and money too:) Also, be sure to share your two cents about games, books, movies, etc. It helps people make better decisions.

I have written a second review of this game after playing around with it some more. Be sure to check it out before you make a decision.
