Don't get me wrong, I've played a lot of them and this will not be among my collections! Beginning of the game was in the passenger area of the plane going back and forth from seeing the other passengers then the window. When the green light appeared, the plane started falling apart with the passengers going out through the front of the plane. It started getting worse with the blackout scenes which took forever to finish. What was even worse was the in-between scenes a snail crawling across a bar which proved how slow the game became. I wasn't too fond of the huge dialog box showing up at the top and wouldn't go away unless you clicked on the "continue" at the lower right corner. When looking for the HOS objects, I must agree that some were either hard to find or didn't come close to what they should look like; even some of the description words I've never heard of! Didn't know I had to get out my dictionary to find the meaning of them! I did play the demo all the way through, then deleted it from my computer! This should of been a Beta Game before the developers submitted it, them maybe they could of improved the quality of the game. I will stick with how I've rated this game.
Please have your boarding pass ready when embarking the plane!

I have played hundreds of different types of Solitaire games in my life, this will be one more added to my vast games playing list. I had no problem in getting in or out of my game, was able to save my progress when logging out. I didn't play the background music, was never into that for any of my games but I did like the sound effects. Felt like I was on an actual plane as I progressed thru the game. I also like it when the game got harder with each achievement.

I've played and own many versions of Mahjong but this one a just a little bit different. Though there may only be 2 levels of Challenge, I like the "Keep Score" version. I found that this game has larger Tiles so it's easier for this ole woman to see them, but given only 3 Tile sets to choose from. The backgrounds are beautiful nature photos that don't interfere with Tiles. The patterns to choose from I have played in other Mahjong games but there are a few that are new to me. This is a perfect game for the Mahjong beginner, the Score version would be the best to start with then as they progress the Timed version would give them a good challenge.

I tried the Demo first to see if I would like to keep this game, it had me hooked. It makes you think about your moves. The graphics are great, not a cheesy coloring book ripoff. I like the "no time limit", it's more of a chess game move to get the pieces removed from the board. If you're not into having the music in the background, you have that option to either turn it down or turn it off. I'm a "Blow them Up" player, so this does suit me. If you are in a hurry to get each level over with, then this wouldn't be your cup of tea.
Can't wait to add this to the Rest of my Mystery Trackers Collection!

As a Bata Tester, I was waiting with anticipation for the full version to be released. Each time the graphics have gotten better as the series have been released. I enjoy the HOS and Puzzle parts to games and can't wait to see what happens next. I still have the Test Example on my computer to remind me this will be coming soon.

After playing the DEMO for the full allotted time, I purchased this game. I was so pleased that you didn't have to wait for your workers to get to the building after completing a task they picked up resources on the way. The graphics are high quality. I play the game without the music so I can hear the signal that the building resources are ready for pick-up. I am glad this version of the game became available.

Storyline
2/ 5
Where to start? I guess when the game first loaded and the Storyline was poorly done. I could of done better with my computer's fonts, this looked like someone used an old-style typewriter. Visual/Sound Quality is the worse I've seen in a TM game, trust me, I've played lots of them! The graphics looked like they were taken from a coloring book that's decades old. I love high quality graphics In my games, I'll take the 12 Labours of Hercules over this game!
I don't recommend this game.

For those who like these types of games, it's right up your alley. But I have to say Galactic Express has better graphics and the option to choose your challenge level makes me happy.
Just as I expected from another Monument Builders Game

I have all the other Monument Builders Games and this one is a little better then the others. I like the Gems that are earned and can be used throughout the game! I don't use the storylines in games since it takes away from getting the game done, so this is why I gave it's rating as "Good". I always play the Demo before actually purchasing a game so this one will definitely be added to my collection.

I've played many types of Mahjong with worse graphics then this one. But there is no real challenge to this game, this would be great for the beginner of Mahjong. Liked the fact that there wasn't any hints but would have loved to see a better selection of levels of challenge not the 2 levels here. Became bored with the game after whizzing through the first 6-7 games (way to easy for me). Could be done better if more thought was put into this game. I would recommend this game only for a beginner only but for Experts like me, a big fat NO!
