Game Review 2 of Myst

A couple of days ago, I wrote a review of Myst. I was pretty unhappy with the game and as I went in search of assistance, I discovered that others were having difficulties with the Nintendo DS format. I was frustrated because the audio was poor and with some parts of the game, that really matters.

Well, I am happy to report that I have a bit better opinion of the game today. First of all, here is a great walk through that I found. It is for the PC game, but it works pretty well with the DS version.

I have two suggestions for you, well, maybe three...Get a good pair of headsets. When I first started playing, I was relying just on the DS speakers. DH suggested I try headsets, and let me tell you they made a world of difference! Really! Secondly, when you go to the Selentic Age where you have to play the keyboard notes, try counting if you have a hard time getting the exact notes... in other words, if it is the first C and the first C is 8 notes up the keyboard, then count 8 notes up on the other contraption. That worked really, really well for me.

And thirdly, the walk through was great, but do try it on your own first. Once I started using the walkthrough, I didn't want to quit. It is a tough game, but persistence will get you through.

Good luck!
