The history of The Mysterious Cities of Gold is pretty wild. When the French-Japanese animated series ended its first run in 1983, the Famicom hadn’t even premiered in Japan. Fast forward about 30 years, and now not only has the show picked up where it left off, it’s even following in the tried and true tradition of video game tie-ins — and, unlike many other examples, its first attempt is a decent puzzle adventure.
It’s an innocent story with minimal cartoon violence, and The Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths has a cast of characters that will quickly capture the attention of the kiddies. Three friends Zia, Esteban, and Tao work together to find and protect the Mysterious Cities of Gold. They are caught in the magnificent wonder of a world filled with sacred riches, along with those who only want to pillage the cities. If they don’t stay one step ahead of the pirates and other scum who are out to liquidate the hidden treasures, then the Mysterious Cities of Gold may be lost forever.
Pure Nintendo: "It is easy to see that the developer tried to stay true to the Mysterious Cities of Gold cannon but it falls short in variety throughout its many levels. Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secrets Paths is not a bad game but may be better suited for a younger gamer with limited game experience. The fans of the show may also find the game more entertaining. While the game is solid in gameplay and visuals, it could have used some work in a few other areas. I was able to finish the game in just over 5 hours and at a cost of $14.99 Mystery Cities of Gold may not be a great purchase for a more experienced gamer, but fans of the show or younger gamers may find a good game experience in Secret Paths."
