The game has pretty good graphics, Music is cinema quality, boring to me. Puzzles are brain twisters, some are tedious memory type which I always have troubles with. Like one where the character is climbing out of a goblins crib and you have to remember which rocks are solid or you start from scratch. I like the more logical type puzzles. I don't like the arcade parts much either.
All kinds of options and you can skip out of any puzzle you find overwhelming.

Good graphics and good animation. The best part of this game series is the music, it fits the game to a T compared to the 2 other game series. It has some real brain twisting puzzles like the other 2 of the series has but you can skip out of them if they are too much and play them in the extras section later.
Excellent configuration interface. There are 3 easter eggs to find, a figure, a morphing object, a puzzle piece hidden randomly throughout the game.
Good story line. The game series is unique as you will be changing to 1 of 3 characters in the game.

It's colorful, nice graphics and has very- very challenging levels. It has very basic configs of music, sound, full-screen, but no casual mode and you can't skip dialogs which is annoying on replays which you are bound to do on this game. Music is pepi tropical themed with 1 run of the orchestra type
The bonuses are automatic once uncovered. Some levels are just in time, some you must be spot on in your timing.
. Moai is very different from your usual timed games and takes some strategic planing to get the 3 stars to complete the statues in the achievement section.
There is no help guide except from what you get in the dialog in playing along. But there are all kinds of walkthroughs out there to help you if you get stuck.

They have greatly improved the graphics from the last version and they have a nice mix of progressive music.
Some of the Levels I absolutely could not get the 3 star award, no matter how hard I tried. Like level 25, I tried the game help walkthrough and then an external source. I would always come short on time. And some time a character would just freeze in the game forcing me to do a restart.
Another thing I didn't like about this game is there were no progress bars on the production facilities.
Not sure what's going on but this is an aggravating game when it could be better.

This would be a nice game except the graphics are fuzzy, basic and yesterdays resolution. It makes it hard to find and do stuff.
The music and story line is OK. Most of the puzzles are quite solvable. It has a map but no indication of actions to do on the map. There are no sparkles to help you on areas of interest. Hints are limited on info. Help is limited.
In order to save map references and to purchase things you have to search for and find gems hidden throughout the game. The are no easter eggs.

This game is a puzzlers nightmare or gold mine depending on your pleasure. I hate puzzles that have random rotate or press puzzles. This game is full of them.
It does not have much for sparkles hints and some items are hard to find. Graphics are mediocre. There is no locator / jump map. There are no easter eggs to find.
Some might find it challenging while others will find it exasperating. I found it exasperating half the time.

Like it's predecessor it's colorful with some improvements in graphics. The scenarios between levels have changed somewhat with new challenges.
The Music is boring instrumental. When a notice happens it's just too large and blocks out important sections of the playing field.
You have 3 playing modes from casual to extreme. There are 2 easter eggs to find which can be done in casual mode for bragging rights. You have plenty of time to get the 3 stars in normal mode.

This version is a lot like the former game and has much the same format, just different layout. The levels have of course changed and some are really challenging. Music is peppy but boring to me. I completed all levels in easy timed mode with plenty of time left over. The hardest part is finding the easter eggs, 3 for the bonus game and 1 for the book. Good balanced graphics.

The game is very colorful, has a good graphics and animation on a cartoon level. It's story line is on a humorous level. You unlock points by completing each level and finding a hidden treasure chest. Sparkles are suppose to help you locate it but the sparkles are not prominent.
The music is boring, it's some symphony that doen't really fit in with the theme of the game. It will put you to sleep. I got through all levels with 1 stars in normal timed mode. Some of the levels seemed just in time at that mode level. You can play it in casual / untimed and find all the treasure chests while getting a feel for the game and then come back and go timed but not have to search for the chest again.
The game has a room of objects that you can fill as you get various awards. The last 2 are completeing a number of levels in extreme mode. Didn't go for that, it really is cutting it close on the time and you can't configure out the transition intro, you have to skip out of them during the game play, annoying! And the warning lables are too large and blocking.
It's a nice, enjoyable game except for the music, unless you like relaxing symphony music, not with the theme. It has 55 levels in all.
