I have all the Virtial Villagers games...LOVE all of them...but this one is the best so far! Love the new additions that help you get past the "heathens", love the story line, and so far, this one is the hardest to get through. Challenging, makes you think and requires more "strategy" in how you play! I just love the idea that there are these little people "living" inside my computer! This one is equal to "Secret City" in having the best graphics and sounds compared to the rest of them. You will truly enjoy the characters...I get very attached to my little peeps!

This is the best of all in the series...in my humble opinion! I had to retry almost every level to beat it...VERY challenging, sometimes it took four or five tries of changing my strategy to FINALLY GET IT!! Graphics are excellent, good story for this type of game, and it will get you hooked!!!!
The graphics are excellent, the story line is "cute", but nothing to write home about. Not really much of a challenge, but the antics and personalities of the characters made me laugh, leaving me with a smile on my face...that's worth a lot these days! I'd buy it at a daily special price, but not for $6.99.
If you like "My Kingdom for the Princess", "Royal Envoy", and/or "Pyramid Rising"...you will enjoy this game very much! I think the graphics are much more visually clear and more attractive in this game. It didn't take long for the difficulty level to go up and had to replay several of the #rather# early levels to get the "gold" award! Requires quite a bit of strategical thinking to win...I'm at the expert level with these games and was really pleased to have the difficulty level go up so early in the game! It's one I think you'd find yourself playing again and again!
This is the most excellent "fun way to learn and play at the same time" game I've experienced in quite a while! If you are an art lover, you will love this game! If you are not an art lover...guess what?...you will love this game! It's colorful, with interesting cities to visit. It challenges your memory, observational skills and your ability to be truly quick...sometimes all of those at the same time!!! This game game is absolutely wonderful!
So glad the series is being continued! Love the changes...like collecting the money myself and and love the addition of the wood cutters. The differences between the first one and this one make it nice to own both. And it is challenging to finish in time to make 3 stars. I highly recommend Royal Envoy 1 AND 2!

You don't realize until you have really gotten into the game that there really is a need to plan a strategy for beating the clock. Some levels I have had to replay more times than I care to admit to in order to finish "before nightfall"!
