 Rating:  - A biology fun class.It was fun. And the teacher was a brain center with all the information we need to solve the puzzles. I loved it! Biology has always been my favorite subject, so playing a game using my knowledge, and even checking the Brain Center, was really good.

Beware it is not easy, and will take a considerable amount of time to complete, but for those who like a challenge, this is a great title! The graphics and music are super, and the puzzles are hard enough to keep regular gamers and even science-minded adults occupied for hours and hours. (There is a helpful pdf file with graphics located on the disc 1 that will help you if you get stuck.) Similar adventure titles cost much ... Read More |
