Casual: "Samantha Swift has its charms, particularly in how well it lays out all its puzzle pieces and hidden objects, but the execution doesn't manage to lift it very high above the rest of the pack. It's still worth trying out, for anyone who likes a solidly-designed hybrid hidden object/puzzle-solving adventure game."
Easy Interactive’s hidden object puzzle game, Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena, is available now at retail. Previously available only on PC, Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena brings its game play to casual gamers on the Nintendo DS platform. Players take control of archaeologist and adventurer Samantha Swift as she travels the globe on a quest to hunt down the mystical Roses of Athena.
Easy Interactive have announced a release date for the forthcoming Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena. Having previously been available only on the PC, Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena brings its game play to casual gamers on the Nintendo DS platform.
While many games (even casual ones) look to challenge players sometimes to the point of frustration, it's nice that MumboJumbo's Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena gives players a relaxed yet challenging experience.
I might just be really cynical but I can't imagine paying full price for a hidden picture title. That seems like the sort of thing relegated to the downloadable stage.
