Just OK, nothing more.
This game seemed to drag on and on. The scenes repeated and this made it quite boring. The mini-games were equally as repetitive and boring. I endured it and was not sad to see it end.

Classic HOG, but cute Greek Mythology Storyline
Even being a classic HOG, I enjoyed it (and purchased it) because I really like mythology, and the storyline is charming, takes place in ancient Greece, and characters are the Greek gods: Athena, Zeus, Hermes, Hephaestus, etc.
The biggest difference between this and the other classical HOG is: Gift of Zeus provides a captivating tale based on Greek mythology, with a sequence, ie, scenes are not "thrown" with no connection.
Graphics are very well done, cute ambience, colorful and crisp scenes.
Not challenging, but very pleasant.

Ancient Adventures-Gift of Zeus
Hello again,
Well this game was really fun to play. The hidden object are not obvious to find which makes it interesting.The puzzle games are real easy and fun. It is a challenging game and it is fun to play to the end of course which I did. But I will go back and play it again because it was a great game!

Couldn't stop playing!
If you like hidden objects this one is for you. I started and could not stop. Great after work game when you just want to unwind. Simple enough.

Good interesting game
This game although not startling did hold my interest all the way through. The graphics tended to be a bit "cartoonish" but were authentic and were drawn well enough to make out the objects. The music was a tad tedious at times but the added background sounds like waves, birds and crowds in a market place did manage to add a distracting element away from the music. The dialogue, which was all reading did waffle on a bit but once again I suppose necessary for the game. The hidden objects were of two types, the listed objects were reasonably easy to find and some needed extra work to eliminate the items in blue, but the shadow type presented a little more of a challenge, all in all quite entertaining. The puzzles and mini games were quite easy to very medium in complexity but all enjoyable.
This game, once again was not one of the best but still worth the money to buy and a worthy addition to a collection.

"Greek Mythology"
Cute game, but repetitive and scenes do recur. Mini puzzles and graphics are charming. Your next expedition, possibly wil be Greece, searching for the 'Fantastic Gift of Zeus'.

Just OK
I liked the different HO screens - a mix of shadowed HOs and list HOs. The game does tend to drag on but it would be a wonderful game if you are at a beginner to intermediate level for Hidden Object games.
