 Not for blonds.... )))) September 16, 2008
I am beeing a little sarcastic naming my review "Not for blonds" and hope I'm not offending anybody, since I'm a blond myself! ))) but this game is too complicated if you are not into phisics and chemistry (which lots of us girls are not into)!! If you expect this game to take you to a different world, tell you a story full of unexpected twists and turns with some nice music, sound and video clips, then you'll be disappoined. All this game is about is walking around the island, finding a zillion things (half of which are useless afterall) and somehow figuring out how to combine them to make life-essential things.
However, if you are into science, into "how to survive in the wilderness", if you know basics of phisics and chemistry, if you can figure out how to use some black after-fire smoke, scraped off the wall (which I never managed to do) this game is for you!
I was stuck all the time and in the end got so frustrated that never finished the game (and never going to), but I knew a guy, who loved it and he went though the whole game in one evening!!
Anyway, if you are a female-blond and will complete this game without a walkthrough, I'm going to eat my shoe!!!! ))) (unless you are a university professor or a scientist)!!

Return to Mysterious Island is an interactive adventure game about a women who ends up shipwrecked on an island and must find a way off.
FUN and NON-LINEAR!
The best feature of this game is that it is completely non-linear. You can play the game in any order and there are several different ways to solve problems. This allows the player more creativity. The puzzles range from easy to challenging and I am sure there are still some things I did not figure to do the first time I played!
GRAPHICS/MUSIC
The graphics are pretty good, though most of the action is seen in cartoon drawings rather than in actual action. The music is decent too.
This is a great game for Adventure game for adventure game lovers!

The best thing about this game is the way you can combine objects to make new ones. Then you can take them apart again to make a different object.The Adventure Company RETOMYSTISLAND Return To Mysterious Island [windows 98/me/2000/xp]

I personally found this game to be the most fun Adventure Game I have played, and believe me, I've played alot of them.
My favorite aspect of this game is the inventory interaction. Having to combined items to make other items was more fun than playing the actual game. I hope there is a sequel!!!!

I found the game somewhat boring and hard to follow. It was frustrating not being able to do things with the multiple tools I had in my inventory. While this is not my type of game, people interested in assembling things and making "experiments" might enjoy it.
