Love the Dracula series, and this one is fine. Not great, but fine. However, I am now on Level 30, and not once have I found one of the gnomes in any of the levels. I click click click on anything and everything, never a gnome! Oh well. I still like it.
It's all right, not great, and sure, a little old-fashioned, but due to the dearth of TM games lately, I did get it with a coupon. Serves to pass the time!
Overall, I liked this game. A little different, and you have to think a bit. I always play relaxed - not interested in beating times etc., and I enjoy looking for the puzzle pieces - but no jigsaw at the end? Why on earth collect them? Just for a few "extra levels"? Then make the collectables some other shape, making them like jigsaw pieces seems to me to promise a nice big jigsaw at the end. Oh well.
Tried the demo, thought it was okay, and actually bought it. I never play with the sound on, so the noise effects obviously didn't bother me. It is just different enough to be entertaining. Don't be unduly influenced by the previous negative reviews, I thought it was fine. Not five star good, but fine.
Played the trial, liked it, decided to buy as I had a punch card coupon. Got it all done, wouldn't download. Message popped up - Error Code 4. Went to the help site, NO ERROR CODE 4! What the heck? I'll just stick to strategy games, no more of this nonsense for me.
Take on new time management challenges and help three young archaeologists unearth the mysteries of the past and piece together the story of the brave Xi Niu!

Well, that'll teach me. Should have played the trial - but oh no, I LOVE TM and Strategy games, so I totally wasted TWO hard earned credits, and hit Buy Now. What a fool I am. This "game" is a complete waste of time, story line unintelligible, no help at all, and I couldn't even find out how to get out of the darn thing, had to use ctrl alt del. Sorry, but it was hideous.
Well, I like this game! I don't care about music and sound effects as I play with sound muted,and to be honest, I don't really care about a story-line. The lil guys run about busily, and there is enough challenge in each level to keep me engaged. I did download the trial, and liked it - then there was a sale so I got it cheap, and will keep my "free game" punch card for something else. What's not to like!
I really did not like this one. I have all the previous ones, and have recently purchased Moai 3 which is vastly superior. This one is repetitive and boring. I wish I had not wasted my money. I did enjoy the previous games in this series, but I am afraid that this one is not an improvement. Sorry, I hope that other fishes enjoy it more than I did.
