I was extremely pleased with Mysterious Island. I usually shy away from 1st person adventures, preferring 3rd person adventure games such as Syberia or Longest Journey, so I was a little hesitant to play this game. I have to say I'm glad I did, it may have given me what I need to not be so skeptical about other 1st person games.

The graphics were gorgeous, the puzzles were sometimes easy, sometimes challenging. I love inventory puzzles so I had a lot of fun in that aspect. The storyline was engaging as well. It's also a good game for the kids to watch. My kids loved watching me try to heal Jep the Monkey and they loved giving their input on the puzzles and inventory combos.

The only disappointment was the length of them game. It was WAY too short, it seemed it ended rather abruptly for me, especially as I still had many many inventory items left that I had done nothing with.

All in all, it was a great game and I highly recommend it. At $20 it's well worth the money even with the shorter length, but I suggest not paying any more than that.
