i see where this game got a lot of high marks and i guess i let that influence mine. it is a dark and weird game but it is advertised that way. it wasn't one that i like very much but rated it based on the game and not whether i liked it not because i knew i wasn't going to like it going in once i got started.
you have been brought in on a case where another detective has disappeared. you need to find out what happened to him. once you have found him he is no longer a friend. now you have to find the secret of the mandrake to solve this mystery.
a typical M3 that has a story to go along with it. a mischievous fairy goes looking for something she shouldn't and her friend thomas insists on going along. he winds up falling into an abyss and this is her adventure to get him back alive.
you match 3 like symbols like all the others. you earn items to upgrade and to release power ups. it takes a while to get them all or just to get to the first few after you have released them all. they take power that you gather from the M3's
a typical M3 game. not very many power-ups and i played on the relaxed level. you are restoring a world where a prince lives after you are pulled into the book.
i don't usually buy solitaire games but this has 2 re-deals and you can finish the levels this way. i played on the relaxed mode. you can buy power ups with the coins (gold) you accumulate. typical solitaire game.
i own all of these games wither in standard or ce. i love them. the items are small sometimes and sometimes you need to click around to find everything but that is okay. i play on the relaxed mode so i have no pressure. the mini games are usually solvable. the jigsaw puzzles i had to skip.
this game was as good as the others in this series. you get to earn money to buy power ups. i played on the relaxed setting. fully enjoyed this one as much as the rest of them!!!!!!
there is a story to this game. a woman meets a guy and they get involved quickly. he goes missing one time and she can't find him. she finds his car at a gas station and starts to ask questions and finds out he had been arguing with the owner of the station who claims the guy killed his sister. you build up to get power ups. it doesn't take too long to build up. you get a part of the story when you finish a level (not a board).
i loved just as much as the ones that have come before it. it is a M3 that is a little different than your typical M3. you have to toggle between available boards to play and sometimes it takes some thinking to figure it out. i did play on the relaxed mode. i really liked it a lot!!!!
