For addicted to HOS
Slow game, loading takes too long.
Simple graphics, no voice over, music little boring.
A lot of HOS, but some objects are tiny !
HO different from the usual:
- the objects fit into the scene, they did not just disappear,
- immediately after the HOS has a mini game to use found objects (machine building, repairing locks, etc).
Not challenging, just to entertain.

Captain Nemo lives!
What a fun game! To begin with, there were no problems downloading and installing. The graphics are amazing for a Standard Edition. The game really is beautiful and the colors, textures, and environments really get you into the game. The music is unobtrusive, although I usually turn the music down in any game. The game play is routine for the most part. You play hidden object scenes to move you forward in recovery of Captain Nemo's famous Nautilus. The scenes are a bit different, as that found items don't disappear. They are returned to their proper places in each scene. A few of the scenes made finding things a little challenging, but the hint system works well and is fun to use, and Captain Nemo himself even helps direct you to places you need to go and things to do when you get there, so you never really get stuck. Mini-games were innovative and not overly-difficult, but I didn't find them simple, either. The game had good length of play, as well, keeping me playing for two evenings - about 6 hours altogether.
On the less-positive side, there was, oftentimes, a lag in screen loading that averaged about 20 seconds. Some scenes came right up, but many had a bit of a wait while loading. For me, it was just the time I needed to run to the kitchen for a snack:) It's just a couple of feet to the fridge...so the lag was really short.:)
All in all - an engaging game, perhaps simpler than many advanced hidden object players might like, but, for me, with beginner-to-intermediate skills, it was lots of fun and I will definitely be playing it again.

Not for me
It was very difficult to play this game. It was extremely frustrating when putting objects together because even though I was placing the object in the right place it wouldn't take. Some of the words are misspelled horribly in the hidden object list and you can't tell what you are supposed to be looking for. I don't suggest you waste your time playing it.

Jherek Carnelian was here!
If you know who Jherek is, you might guess this game is full of victorian era mechanical oddities that are so alluring to some of us! Yep, it is hard but once you get the hang of it very enjoyable. If you get stuck on the door puzzle I suggest using the walk-through, it helped me understand the game's logic. Wonderful artwork, and a good music, too.

Good Playability & Very Enjoyable
Besides the fact that JV's 20K Leagues is my favorite book of all time, this game would be a good choice and I recommend it highly.

So so hidden object game
Have to agree with some other reviewers...items just don't work properly when clicking on items. Also, with the advent of spell checker, misspelling words and items in the game is a sign of poor game making. Could be a fun game if more care was taken in the preparation.

Cool game!
I love this game! This is the first game out of 180 I played so far, where after finding the hidden objects they don't disappear but rearrange in the wright place. I didn't' notice in the beginning but later on I was following the objects to see where they were going to be placed.
The story line and graphics where beautiful!!!

A rare one of a kind game.
Everything about this game is done to perfection. That includes music, graphics and puzzles. The hidden object scenes can get a bit tedious, but the puzzles more than make up for it.
A rare one of kind game, that will take players on a true adventure.

2 thumbs up from teen son!
he finished it with joy. The one place he needed help was the code breaking machine.driving the nautilus was coooool! He liked it a lot and with a little help from the bigfish forum walk through he was able to complete it happily. Even replays are fun and boisterous!
