Software Reviews of Around the World in 80 Days
Customer Review: BEAUTIFUL IMAGES AND ENGAGING ACTION
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a tile-matching game ( match three or more similar tiles by shifting their positions ). But, it's also more than that. This is a faithful adaptation of Jules Verne's original story Around The World In Eighty Days, and the story plays out as you advance through levels of tile matching. With beautiful animated backgrounds of London, Paris, India, China and more.., completion of each level results in more of the story being told in the game journal book, and the introduction of new characters. There is intrigue as Phileas Fogg ( the gentleman making the journey...) is being followed by a sinister character who wants to stop him from completing the journey.
The gameplay itself is very smooth and fluid, the tiles move quickly when you click on them and there are tools you can gain that are very helpful in completing the boards.
The one complaint I have is that the screensaver feature offered by the game doesn't seem to function properly. It's a separate feature you can access which bascially allows you to use any of the animated backgrounds of the various locations as a screensaver for your computer. I was not able to get this feature to activate. However I was able to work-around it, by activating the "preview" of the screensaver , within the game, and just leave it running in that state.
But that one complaint is very minor and detracts nothing from the enjoyment of the game itself. I highly recommend it. The complexity and challenge of the tile matching boards increases gradually as you advance through the levels, but it's never too difficult to complete.
