One of my faves
I love this game. Normally I like darker games, but this one has a humor and whimsy in it that I also really enjoy. I laughed out loud many times (a cross-dressing pirate that winks at you in a hidden object scene? BWA HA HA!). I have played this through at least twice, and I will probably play it again in the near future. There is a diversity when it comes to the puzzles- sometimes when a game is all hidden object I get bored. Not true with this one. Sure, it's pretty much centered around hidden object, but there are so many other types of puzzles that it keeps it interesting.

Loved this game - fun to look at and...
Great tongue in cheek humorous moments. I've been stuck in bed for 4 days w/ the flu & this saved me.
One hint: when you get to the towards the end scene, don't "skip" the card game or it will freeze & crash the game. But hang in there! That scene is fun to solve.
I'm going to see what other games this company has produced right now.

So Much Fun to Play
I absolutely love this game. The humor and the graphics were so much fun. I couldn't wait for the next scene. After I finished this game I played it again. Just as much fun the second time around.

One of My Favorites
This is one of very few games that I have played more than twice. The hidden object scenes are creative and unique, not too difficult, but enough of a challenge that you don't just zip through them. The mini-games are also fun and different than what you see over and over again in these type of games. Whoever created this game has an awesome sense of humor!

Outstanding HO Adventure with tongue firmly in cheek
Wow!
What was the last seriously challenging game that also had you laughing?
If you were lucky enough to play Plants Vs Zombies you will be familiar with a good belly laugh in the midst of a major challenge. For anyone that has stayed within adventure/HO genre though you may still be scratching your head thinking of even one. Welcome to Robinson Crusoe and the Cursed Pirates!
This had me challenged enough that I was stumped a couple of times and had to check a walkthrough. That's rare so it gained my respect. Don't let this put you off though as that's what walkthroughs are for and there's no fun in being bored.
Having said that this game is not so difficult that it is unrewarding and frustrating; it is a clever balance of both (like the first one# with the added bonus of having a great belly laugh along the way.
I enjoyed this WAY more than the first one. The first is an exceptional game with heaps of minigames and outstanding graphics, but what I loved more about this game was that it is hilarious! The original was quite serious. Nothing wrong with that but this had everything fantastic about the first #long, challenging, top quality# but with it's tongue firmy in cheek. The music and graphics are top quality too. It was just so enjoyable.
It is rare to play a quality adventure / HO game that isn't a really shocking or depressing storyline and the ones that are less horrifying are usually pretty bland or simplistic #I enjoyed Avenue Flo for it's lighthearted theme, but it was simplistic and short) yet Robinson Crusoe and the Cursed Pirates manages to be a perfect hybrid by combining great humor with a sometimes dark theme and some great challenges that made this a really enjoyable experience right to the end.
All in all a very impressive and rewarding game!

Fun and funny game
Typical HOG but witty and funny. I laughed out loud at some of the scenes. The puzzles are just challenging enough without being impossible to solve. The only problem I had with this game is that some of the hidden objects are so small, I got eye strain trying to find them.

Great sense of humor
You are trying to create a magic potion to release the pirates from their curse so that you can escape the island. There are 25+ different locations, each with it's own special character and set of items. The puzzles are clever, the graphics are great. The humor had me giggling. You can skip the puzzles if you wish and the hint refills quickly. Macabre in an Addams family way.
