Well, this was one of the lesser TM games. The levels were quite repetitive, the graphics were sufficient but not more, and the story was downright poor. No progression / new things in the game, just an endless repairing of the damage done by the bad guys, and even that was quite repetitive, lots of the levels just felt the same. It didn't appeal to me at all. Basically, just simple TM with a very rare cutscene in between.
I don't recommend this game.

Original game, with nice ideas. Funny cartoony style. Overall way too hard to find things though. And even when you've found everything in a scene, it doesn't automatically back out, you have to click extra.
I recommend this game!

Well, i can't say i really liked this game. The 3D option was great - that is, 10 years ago it woud have been great. Today, it is just simply pathetic. The storyline is weak. After the intro there's really no explanation whatsoever. For instance, you find a newspaper. It tells you it contains news but doesn't tell you anything else! I played the demo and it wasn't convincing. For instance, you're supposed to get to a "village" but it looks like 5 or 6 developers each independently drew their favourite jungle scenes and then all linked them together. No continuity at all. One moment you're deep in the forest next to a river, next scene on a high cliff, next in a jungle again...The very first puzzle i found, too, was totally unlogical. All in all my verdict is: No Quality. Not wotrh the buy.
This is really not so much a TM as an adventure. The story is great, and there's a storyline to follow, but you can take a break and perform tasks and errands instead if you like. They are also helpful in unlocking more places to sell and buy, developing your skills etc. The game isn't difficult, the only drawback is that most of the things that you can harvest for free in nature are rather small and hard to see. The graphics are pretty good and detailed. Being a guy who likes figuring things out at his ease, I really liked this game!
I recommend this game!

Now this was an adventure game i really enjoyed. The narrated story blended in perfectly with the game, the puzzles were right and not too difficult (very easy in fact), The graphics were good, though could have been better at some points. The characters were funny and well developed. Overall, a very good game.
I recommend this game!

I bought this, but afterward wished i hadn't. The game is a true adventure, and the graphics are good and captivating. But the storyline is poor, with an unsatisfying ending wich leaves things open. The puzzles are OK, but don't blend in with the game very well. Also, i encountered several bugs in the save/load system.
