GamingShogun writes, "...Overall, the game is alot of fun but way more in-depth than one assumes it will be when you first sit down to it. The graphics are 2D and, while vibrant, are not exceptionally clear or high resolution. Playing in full screen mode on my 1920x1200 LCD just looks horrible, so I played it mostly in windowed mode. Sound is minimal and there is an average score to the game which sounds like a royalty free track. Even with these shortcomings however, the gameplay is a lot of fun and makes for an interesting puzzler as you try to help your villagers thrive."
Gamersinfo Writes: "Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City holds many mysteries. The first mystery is why they never thought to include an "Oops" button. Third in a series of popular casual games, Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City almost made me cry. I lost two tribes to starvation when I forgot to pause the game overnight. Not a good start.
Much like the premise in previous Virtual Villagers titles, you are in control of a small tribe of flower-wearing natives (hippies) looking for a new home on the island of Isola. They strike out from their village and are washed ashore after a storm capsizes their raft. After the headcount, they realize they are standing on the beach of an abandoned civilization. Your job is to find out what happened here. A tutorial in the beginning helps you navigate the map, technology screen and survivor roster, but after that, you are on your own."
