Pros: gorgeous graphics, more interactive than Riven, storyline, music controls,engrossing Cons: music less intense than Myst, graphics more static than REALMYST, sometimes hard to find click-points.
How do you start a war? Well, you can cause international tensions by violating internationally understood boundaries. You can send a telegram insulting the sultan of a Middle Eastern country and sign it from the President.
Pros: Stunning visuals have to be seen to believed; ingenious puzzles Cons: A few boring puzzles, and you have to actually LIKE solving puzzles
What happens when you have one of the best selling computer games ever to your name? You get lots of fans… and lots of criticism.
Ever since Myst appeared in 1993, over 10 million copies were sold of the game and its sequel, Riven....
I remember playing the first Myst game and being awestruck. When Riven arrived I was further amazed and intrigued. And now, Myst III: Exile has come to grip me once again.
Pros: Fantastic! Much better than previous Myst's. Great 360 degree viewing! Cons: Could be slow on your older machine. Finished too fast.
I've played all the games in the Myst series and I've got to say that this is the best of them all. The original Myst was a jaw dropper and brought a new dimension to puzzle type games. Riven was larger and more complex, but was too complicated in...
Pros: Very immersive, draws YOU into the game as an important character in the plot. Cons: Need a relatively fast computer to fully enjoy, zero re-playability
I bought this game the day it was released as I am a fan of the MYST series. In this installment, the creators have brought back a game that feels more like the original MYST than it's sequal, Riven. There are distinct ages to explore each one...
Pros: Engaging, dramatic story; generally excellent live actors; beautiful graphics and cutscenes; 360 degree mouselook Cons: Lifeless, dated 2D backgrounds; some puzzles nearly impossible without cheating
Myst III: Exile is the long-awaited latest installment in the multi-million selling Myst adventure game series. It's an enjoyable, polished, engaging sequel. However, hard-core gamers will sneer at the lack of 3D graphics and slow-paced action,...
Pros: great graphics, gameplay, and sound Cons: none
General/Summary: This is an excellent game. Other games like Journeyman 3, Beyond Atlantis, etc are likewise excellent but suffer from incredibly large inventories of things you can and must pick up, and from stories that are just plain dumb - simply an...
Pros: Amazing graphics, engaging gameplay, a coherent plot! Cons: Constant CD-changing gets annoying, some puzzles are ridiculous
Myst - until just recently, this has been the best - selling, and I mean BEST - selling, PC gaming franchise EVER (The Sims, incidentally, holds that title now). When the original Myst came out a few years ago, it practically turned the gaming world up...
Pros: Next chapter in the series, pretty graphics, interesting plot, 360 degree field of view Cons: probably will need patch download, no replay value
A BRIEF HISTORY
I got on the Myst train late in the game. Having taken a break from video games through much of the 1990s (college then employment), I was pretty much out of the loop on games during that time.
Pros: Detailed Graphics and constantly overwhelming visuals. The 360 degree views are enchanting. Cons: Pitiful puzzles. Visuals can be too distracting causing you to wonder what you're seeing.
Myst 3: Exile, the 3rd sequel in the Myst series, is an overall cool game. It serves it's graphics, from 360 stills to full screen movies, with a sheer, awe-inspiring
amount that is detail-ridden. This doesn't mean much unless that's all your...
Pros: Beautiful Graphics; don't have to play Myst or Riven to Enjoy Cons: Loosely strung together ages; too few puzzles; some software glitches; too many disk swaps
Seems like only yesterday I was still swirling in the ages of Myst and Riven.... anxiously awaiting the arrival of Myst III Exile. I pre-purchased Exile before it was released and ordered the Collector's Edition.
Pros: Gorgeous graphical scenery. Storyline unfolds as you go rather than all upfront. 3D viewing. Cons: Many puzzles are too hard to find and too tedious to solve.
Descriptions of Myst 3:Exile, as written by other reviewers, are accurate and complete, and it would be a waste of space for me to rewrite all that's been said. The graphics are great; the 3-D viewability with the mouse takes getting used to but is ...
Pros: Does justice to the Myst series, 360 degree view is a very nice feature Cons: Seemed a bit easier than Riven
Like many Myst and Riven fans, I was disappointed when I heard that Cyan had licensed the Myst series to a different company to produce Myst III. I liked Myst, and to this day Riven is probably my favorite game to date, so seeing that a "3rd Party" was...
Pros: excellent graphics, pseudo-3D (panoramic), extensive worlds to explore Cons: occasional static game play
In all honesty, I never thought I liked this kind of game, where nothing really happens and it makes you wonder why should you roam through all those worlds if there is nobody to race or to beat up ...
Pros: Incredible graphics, great sound, easier than Myst & Riven...... Cons: Easier than Myst & Riven, a little too easy, too short.
Ah Myst, the memories. If you remember the time you spent captivated playing myst, reading endless journals, staring dumbfounded at the incredible graphics, removing large clumps of hair from your sore head as you try to figure out which lever to pull,...
