You Can't Be An Explorer Without Exploring
Around the World is primarily a hidden objects game. Each mission, of which there are 25, requires you to find a handful of items in whatever locale you are currently visiting. Like all products of the sort, you have hints to use and clicking too many times in the wrong spot will deduct points. It costs five thousands points to use a hint (which you can do each time the bar fills back up) and one thousands points for too many incorrect clicks in quick succession. Of course, finding items will give you points and finding them quickly will earn you even more.
After finding all of the objects, you'll need to complete one more puzzle to finish the mission. There's quite a bit of variety here. In one stage I was given a side by side comparison, similar to a "spot the difference" puzzle, but instead I had to replace certain items that were missing from either side. In another stage, I had to swap tiles in order to recreate an image on the left of the screen. You never know just what puzzle you'll get and that keeps you on your toes and makes the gameplay fresh.
Finally, as a nice little bonus, after completing each mission you'll be rewarded with facts and trivia about the place you just visited. I'm a firm believer in using games to help education, so I think this is a always a nice touch.
Gems Galore
There's more than meets the eye in this product. Each stage presents you with the opportunity to find a few hidden gems. If you find all fifty of them throughout the game, you'll unlock 2 extra modes, which will let you play without a timer or anything else hampering your fun. They are amazing extra features that will keep you coming back to the game for weeks, long after you've completed the story mode.
Is It Amazing Enough?
With the first Amazing Adventures game, the bar was set pretty high. With Around the World, the unthinkable has been done and the bar has been reset once again. If you're fed up with boring, uninspired hidden objects game, pick this product up to experience an adventure unlike any other! It's a definite must-have!
