 JQM2:TOTMH - VERY ADDICTIVE GAME! | | Review Date: September 24, 2009 | | Reviewer: V. LEWIS, NEW YORK, NY United States | Great fun game. you have to find objects in a picture before the time limit is up. The more you find the better your chances are of getting certain rewards.
I downloaded it on my laptop I have VISTA Ultimate, and I did not have any problems.
Update(4 days later) I ended it, and it was not worth the $19.99+ tax. It should have been priced like $10.00. I wanted the game to continue, but it just started over again once I ended it. It had a VERY DULL ending.

Great game, and definitely long enough to satisfy | | Review Date: April 2, 2010 | | Reviewer: S. F. White, Conroe, Texas United States | I hesitated to pay so much more for this Seek & Find game than for the others Amazon.com offers, but I had played the first installment, Jewel Quest Mysteries: Curse of The Emerald Tear, and loved it so, after I tested this one's free trial and found it similar to the first, I took a chance. I wasn't disappointed. This game is definitely a fun continuation of the first "Mysteries".
These two Jewel Quest "Mysteries" offerings differ from the others in that they are primarily Seek & Find games with the jewel boards done only at the end of each sequence of object searches... (and with this II version, there are 20 such sequences)... which I much prefer over merely doing jewel boards again and again.
This is definitely one of my favorite Seek & Find games, and I highly recommend it. |
Another winner | | Review Date: July 13, 2010 | | Reviewer: old hen, | | LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. It has a good story line and it's a great hidden object game with the Jewel Boards and the end of each round. It's a good mix. |
Search amid luscious environments | | Review Date: September 25, 2009 | | Reviewer: P. B. Sharp, Las Cruces, NM | You are following the intrepid Eva as she explores steamy jungles, a gorgeous scene of the Taj Mahal, vine- choked exotic ruins, mysterious temples and much more in southwest Asia and in Australia -20 different beautifully created scenes in all. You are going to be kept busy not only looking for relics and the tools to dig them up with but searching for exotic jewels and gold coins, ways to increase your hint bank and your score.
The objects are very well hidden and you're going to need every hint you can get. The search areas are timed and if you click three times on the wrong thing, your time is lopped 30 seconds. If you can't find all those omelets, hot dogs, jukeboxes, tambourines and what-have-you before time is up, you have to play that whole level again. The objects themselves do not shift location, but perhaps one fault of the game is that you are required to return to the same scene too many times whether or not you are repeating a level.
Each environmental location contains a hummingbird bearing a shard, and when you`ve collected enough shards they'll form a board, and you'll play a match- three mini game. Every few levels you're treated to a nice HOG variation. In one of these, when gliding from left to right and while you're looking out a plane window, you're obliged to grab twenty feathers which are cleverly attached to clouds and mountains. You have to hustle a bit to do it.
There is plenty going on in this game and over all it's nicely put together. The art work is simply beautiful and combined with the wonderful Middle Eastern music you'll quickly be immersed in the adventure.

Very Disapponted | | Review Date: August 14, 2010 | | Reviewer: John J. Cooper, | This game is nothing like earlier releases of Jewel Quest. It is a seek and find game (which I guess is fun for those people who like to lose their keys). I understand that this is a common game strategy, my problem is what it did to my computer.
The program froze after picking up a crow bar. After working around it for several minutes, I was able to continue. After an agonizing (and boring) search for items, I was able to play ONE screen of the classic Jewel Quest. When the game sent me back to find more items hidden in a frame, I decided to quit. Upon quitting, the game left my computer in the 800X600 mode. I could only fix this by restarting my computer.
Overall - I would avoid this game. First -- It is very boring. Second -- It can mess up your computer. |
