When you have nothing to do...
You know that moment when you do not want to think, you do not want to reasoning, just want to relax ... ... but it's raining and no good movie to watch, any good book to read ... then there is nothing else to do?
Well, this is the time to play The Lost Talisman!In general, this game entertain you, but nothing new or exciting.
The story is no big deal, and has annoying sounds (ghostly moans).
No challenge.
Graphics are well done and very clear.
It has many places and many things to do, but nothing that requires much attention or effort.

Easy and poorly made
I got this as quick deal after buying another game. Since I only paid 3.99 I'm not too upset about it. There were many typos in the game making it difficult to tell what they wanted you to find. It was very linear and the puzzles were incredibly easy. The story line was also not to great, you didn't really get any answers at the end.

Good Story Line
This is your basic Hidden Object Game. You hunt for objects...and then use certain ones in another setting to move on. I really like the story line, but I think it needed more of an introduction and build-up. The end of the game came up quickly and ended with the possibility of a sequal. I hope it is longer then this one. One helpful hint: When you come upon a locked door, don't bother hunting for the key. When you complete certain areas, the locked rooms will open for you to search.

Loved the artwork in the basic Hidden Object Game
You need to find 8 talismans & bring them together in this basic hidden object game. The graphics are clear & bright & the artwork is reminiscent of impressionist painters such as Edvard Munch (The Scream); rounded & sort of melting. It is unusual & very different to the photo-real artwork one sees in some games, I enjoyed it very much.
The scenes filled my widescreen monitor & I really liked the custom cursor; there are limited options to change the cursor & the screen size. There is piano music in the background which was sort of tinkling & unassuming; loved the background noises; voices, footsteps ? all pretty creepy.
The hidden object scenes are nicely designed & some of the items are very hard to find as they are well blended or, due to the artwork style, don?t quite look like you expect. There is an over-clicking penalty & the cursor does the loop de loop across the screen.
The hint recharge is very slow at around 2 minutes, however when you try to go to an area you do get a warning ?nothing to do right now? which I like in a game; I played on the hard mode & there were no sparkles.
You are given a book in which you collect schematics for the various puzzles, such as putting together fuses but I did find them rather obscure. I ended up figuring out the puzzles on my own as I really did not understand the drawings. BTW it is very easy to drop out of a puzzle scene at the bottom, if you click anywhere in the bottom inch or so you are back to the prior scene. This happened to me quite a lot & I got really annoyed during the butterfly puzzle.
It is rather a short game & the ending seemed to leave room for a sequel.

Not the best game out there...
So I got this game, probably like many others, through the purchase special offer of $3.99.
I was attracted to this game because of the quality of graphics and how well the drawings looked, which was a good selling point aside from the special offer.
It was not tremendously fun since the puzzles were rather easy to do. They were really made easy for people that are new to this kind of genre of gaming.
The storyline lacked something and it was as if the developers were trying to play off of another game with a character with a similar sounding name. I will let you guess who. It lacked the excitement and interesting feel that other games have of this genre that I have played.
Since it was so easy to play it was rather short to play too. It took me about an hour or so to play it since I got bored and went to do other things around the house at the same time.
I was rather disappointed at some of the grammatical errors that I noticed in the game. Like Lara asks, "Who a there?" instead of "Who is there?" Also, there was a weird glitch in the game that gave me several of the Sphinx looking talismans that suddenly appeared when I unlocked the Chemistry room. I got a bit confused as to why I suddenly got 2 more of the same talisman that I just put away in the tower. Then I realized that the game had a glitch in it that still needed to be repaired.
Overall, it was ok. I don't recommend this game if you are familiar with this kind of gaming genre since it would be way too easy to play and the amount of errors in the game takes away from it being fun.

The talisman that just talied
This would have been a good game if only they had at least doubled its length. Everything was leading to a good game when it finished.
