BEYOND ATLANTIS - 01/01/02 09:12 PM
Hi my sweet friends:
As I promised you all I am going to write my review on Beyond Atlantis now, while it is fresh in my mind. I am not the best writer or reviewer but I do my best to give you my reaction to this beautiful game.
The game is 3d and is easy to turn 360 angles to see everything in the picture. I have a pretty high end computer but I believe that most of you will have no trouble with it. I played the entire game without one glitch or crash.
The Beginning:
You are Ten a wanderer that has been chosen to save the world by taking a crystal with you to many lands and come back a successful hero that has accomplished what he was chosen to do. He is told by his mentor that only he has the power of the light and must take these journeys alone.
The First World: Ireland
This first land is so beautiful that I suggest that you take your time to look at every scene and explore every corner you can. You are a monk in this world and are required to go inside a book and find a king that has been locked away by an evil spell. You will go in and out of the book several times to complete puzzles. Your mentor in this land is also a monk and gives you hints to solve many of the puzzles. The story here is very poignant and includes a stone horse that you transport to a beautiful white stallion that carries you across water, without going below the surface he runs with you on his back to an island where you find a man that has a spell on him that makes it impossible for him to talk. he can only whistle like a bird. There are many things in this part of the game that take place on this island. During the entire game you must place your crystal against a tree until it glows red and you are transported into outer space and returned to where you were standing before you left. If you do not accomplish this in each land you will not be able to finish the game. The end of this part includes a party with the monks and a bon fire and music of celebration. Very uplifting.
The Second Part: Maya
The Mayan section of the game is also very beautiful. In it you are a warrior like character and must go to a jungle to find a cure for the king that is dying. In the jungle you will have to fight a giant spider that is the most fun puzzle in the game but you can get it with a little patience. The jungle is also a maze. You can find a map of this place if you get a walkthrough. There are many. When you return to the king with his cure you will find a tree outside his pyramid that you will use your crystal to go out into space again. There are many great puzzles in this part and it is also very beautiful.
The Third World: China
This world is the most difficult. It includes a trip to hell where you must get a page of three symbols before you are allowed to get out of hell and carry a sacred mushroom to the Chinese Priest. You will fly in a dragon to different places and will go into a dragon room that takes you to a place where there are tiny little statues with a different meaning for each one.
All in all this is one of the best games I have ever seen let alone play. It took me quite a while but I loved it more each place I traveled and the ending is very sweet, leaving you with a promise that you will play the game again many times. It is just too vast to remember or be bored on the second time around.
I hope you got a feel for the game from this review. I used to be able to write a lot better than I do now but you are all very forgiving and I love to write for you.
I give the game a solid 5 stars without any real criticism. It was just the right difficulty for me and I believe for most of you.
Love and Hugs,
Nancy
