MYST III EXILE - Wanna Start a War?

by Caprig Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, May 29 '01
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.

...or you can...

Myst III's graphics will make your eyes pop out of their sockets

by lorinsilver , Aug 03 '01
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....

Myst III Takes You Back

by cr56 , Oct 29 '01
Pros: Stunning 360º Views, Engaging Storyline, Fine Acting, Intriguing Puzzles, Sound
Cons: Point-and-Click Interface Frustrating
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.

Remember Atrus? Who Doesn't

The story begins on...

Another epic!

by elucas , Jun 10 '01
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...

Exile yourself from the world for a few days, this ones a keeper

by GreenSpleen , May 20 '01
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...

Nice sequel to an excellent series

by scooterbos , Jun 12 '01
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,...

WoW!!

by KingKong , Jun 29 '01
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...

The greatest escape!

by cassini , Apr 20 '02
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...

Exile - The Next Chapter of Myst

by mcsstokes , May 07 '02
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.

It was during that...

Myst 3: Exile fails to measure up

by scooter_kitt , Sep 29 '02
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...

Myst & Riven Spoiled Me -- Good, But Not Great

by jcrismon , May 29 '01
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.

Installation was fast and...

Busy work puzzles require a lot of walking

by dueykair , Jun 24 '04
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 ...

Presto Studios remains true

by Leaf20WA , Jul 21 '01
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...

Mystical attraction.

by theuerkorn Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 10 '01
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 ...

Well I changed my mind, and initially I...

Myst light

by dayvbrown , Jun 03 '01
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,...
