As the wide-eyed hero, it's your job to travel back and gather the items to set things right. is a good thing! A follow-up to the original Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor, this installment features a wonderfully imaginative visual presentation that fits snugly on top of a puzzle-centric hidden object/adventure body.Ī time portal in Mortimer's uncle's house has opened, allowing modern-day objects to pass through to locations across the globe and throughout history. It's wonderful, and unique and so fun!!! But be prepared for the puzzles I mentioned.Hungry for a great-looking adventure/puzzle game? Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox is your greasy bag of delicious potato chips. In conclusion, I can't possibly recommend not to purchase this game. I have rather poor eyesight and to say it's frustrating doesn't really express it. No amount of intelligence or practice can help. It's not right to have these sorts of puzzles. For the remaining 2 or 3 I am forced to guess. I can see the beginning 3, then if I'm lucky the last 2 or three. It is no exaggeration to say they make 8 movements in about a second or a second and a half. The other challenges were the lit patterns which have to be copied. And my finger was poised right over the screen! One player said she put her finger on the screen when she saw the first one, but I would try to move my finger to mark the spot and the cards were done flipping. I think the creators of the game should either slow it down just a tad or have an option to have the cards move just a bit slower. You can hardly follow the cards as they flip much less register what they were. And they flip back over as soon as they have revealed themselves for a microsecond. Then in the space of about a second or two they flip over like dominoes beginning at the top. The hardest is a puzzle in which two aces have to be found in fifty cards or more which are laid out in a rectangle. I very rarely can get past one particular puzzle and there are others which take a great deal of time and work. I love searching for things, looking for clues, going from place to place with lots of cool puzzles.
This game is unusual, challenging, amazing. This is a great game that I'm looking forward to finishing after I purchase it.Įxcellent.but frustrating. I think there are 8 areas/jewels in total. I completed 2 areas and found 2 jewels during the demo. There is a lot of reading talking to various characters, reading about objects and how they can be used, and hints of various types. The storyline is light-hearted and Mortimer resembles the cowboy in Toy Story. Once the jewel has been restored, that area is finished and Mortimer moves on to another area/jewel. Minigames also need to be completed in the area before the pieces of the jewel are reunited. Mortimer must find the jewels to restore the power of the crown and maybe, in the process, find the lost king.Įach area of the kingdom contains several locations for finding objects and using these objects to complete various tasks. The crown and its powerful jewels are also missing.
Mortimer finds himself in a kingdom that has lost its benevolent king and is being ruled by a usurper to the crown.
The first game is Time Paradox, the third is Secrets of Spooky Manor and the most recent is Crimson Thief. This is a good long game providing several hours of challenging fun and is well worth checking out.īETTER THAN THE FIRST This game is a big improvement over the first one in this 4-part series.
A great feeling of accomplishment followed and this is one game that will definitely make you feel good when you overcome these challenges. I'm lousy at rotation puzzles and the one had me stuck for a good long time but I eventually got it. Many of the minigames are memory challenges and some require quick movements because they are timed or change too quickly for some tastes. Although they are doable, some may find it too challenging if your memory isn't so good. Perhaps the greatest challenge, and one that everyone should know about, is that there are no skips for the minigames. There are areas within areas, and each scene is beautifully drawn with wonderful appropriate music throughout.

Some objects are hidden in plain view while others are hiding behind other things and you need to perform a series of moves to get to those other items. And some of it is but other parts are very challenging. A Delightful Surprise For An Older Game What a fun game! I've never heard of this series before and I don't care if it's an older 's different from all the copy cats out there and that's what I like about it.
