grainy and slow
Easy game, very slow, and too much talking. Anna's voice annoyed me and the acting was bad. Plus the story was silly, I was glad to be done with this one.

BEAUTIFUL UNDERWATER - NOT DARK AT ALL
About 3 - 4 hours, depending on how well you finish the last task. Has ?Area Completed? notations, which I like so as not to waste time backtracking to nonproductive locations. There is a map which shows where you are and, if you move the mouse over it, will show you a picture of what is located where. However, it would be better if it were a fast-jump map. Diary has map, flowers you?ve collected, and clues. Hint isn?t too helpful except in HOS. Outside the HOS, it shows you a map of where you are and circles where you need to be. This is the 3rd time I?ve played this game, and got stuck more than the 1st two times ? go figure.
Very pleasant voices, except that Jacob speaks too slowly. No way to speed him up, although you can skip the conversations (but you?d miss part of the story). There is a good interplay between Jacob, Anna and a little mysterious girl who seems to befriend Anna. Underwater scenery is very pretty and nicely detailed. Story is well put together and is continued in two additional Empress games.

Beautiful imaginative graphics!
I loved this game, and am now playing the sequel. The graphics and the imagination shown in making this undersea world are amazing! The story is good, as are the voice overs, and the hidden object scenes are fun, but it was the fabulous scenery that kept me saying WOW!

Well THAT Was A Waste Of Time!
I saw Empress of the Deep 3, and thought I?d better play the other two first, but I won?t even bother if the other two are like this! The 21 minutes I played seemed like an eternity, and I couldn?t wait to get out!
The storyline seemed a little interesting at times, but part of the way through I was just bored out of my mind. The main story of the game is: This girl called Anna wakes up after about a hundred years (sound familiar, anyone?) and tries to remember who she is. This story has been done countless times, and this one did not impress me at all. There is no fun in this game, and again, I couldn?t wait to quit!
The graphics were alright. They were up to standard with todays? games, but they weren?t fascinating. The voice-overs (especially the man) began to slowly, ever so slowly, annoy me. The other voice-overs were ok, but as I progressed I got more and more annoyed.
The HOS were decent for once with this developer. The usual from this developer has seen the HOS either too long or too hard. These HOS were a good challenge for me and I enjoyed them. There weren?t too many or too little either.
The same cannot be said for the puzzles, however. I encountered 2 in the short time I played. I skipped the first one because there were no instructions, and the second one I literally solved in about 3 seconds flat. I was really not impressed with the puzzles, as it seemed the developers just did not put anything in.
There were a couple of things that irked me, which I must point out:
- Every HOS or thing you needed to collect had a giant magnifying glass around it, as if to say: ?HEY! LOOK AT ME! I NEED TO BE COLLECTED!? and took away the challenge of finding things. To be honest, it just annoyed me.
- You could not see the names of locations unless you looked on the map, so when a map directed me to a location, I spent a couple of minutes trying to figure out where on earth it was.
-
FEATURES
- Journal to keep track of events. Sometimes features the mans? voice (which, if you can remember, I said I hated the most)
- Map, which is not interactive and does not help at all.
- Hint and skip. Both recharge fairly quickly, but sometimes the hint is of no help due to the map.
- 10 Collectable flowers
- 10 Collectable orbs
I know I can be brutally honest when it comes to a game I don?t like, but to be fair, this game deserves the full brutality. I was a bit nervous to start playing when I found the developer was Gogii, due to their poor record in the past, and this poor record continues with this dismal offering.
Skip this, you?ll thank me later.
