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!

This game was very enjoyable. The artwork was pleasing to the eye and the music provided the mood. I think the music played an important part in this game because it put the player in the right mood. The game took place in many parts of the submarine and it was fun looking for the hidden objects. The artwork was very artistically done and I thought the game was rather addictive. Keep up the good work. Thank you once again Big Fish!

This is my second review of the game of this kind. Hope to see more. This developer should do more. Not sure if Big Fish, reads these reviews sure hope they do. The talent of this developer surpasses so many others. Take a chance on this games you won't be sorry.

The graphics are amazing! The hidden objects are hard, but not that hard that you can't find them, and you have hints. If you want a really interesting game, and get caught up in the story this is the game for you. I hope they continue the story line for years! DID I MENTION THE GRAPHICS ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!

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!!!

This is a beautiful game with a blend of puzzles. I normally don't ask for any help to finish a game, but admit I had to have a little help on some of the puzzles. Which means I'll play it again! Good game.

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.

*review based on completing the full game* Well, maybe not exactly 20.000... but still ;o). This game is primarily a Hidden Object game, but does it with an interesting twist. Instead of just finding and removing objects, you actually find objects and fragments that you will need to solve puzzles and you never really remove the other objects from the screen. No, it's more like cleaning up the place. The objects you find are out of place, and when you locate them they move to a proper place on the same screen. Items never really leaving the screen, and the screen constantly changing adds to the challenge. I found it very entertaining. Not only that, but in several places you solve puzzles on the same screen that you actually do the hidden objects, or fix things right there on the screen. Ingenious. Many of the puzzles and assembling mini games are mechanical, but I didn't feel they were very hard. Still, I like mechanical puzzles :o). The way you move through the game is being guided from screen to screen or spot to spot. No moving back and forth trying to figure out what to do next. That might suit a lot of people, but me being the adventure fan that I am, I wish I had to do a little more thinking on my own. There is a little story, but not much, and it is not very involving. Everybody can tell what it is built on. But, even with the lack of an engaging story, you feel heavily involved in the game. That everything has a purpose. Now, the graphics is a bit dated, and especially noticeable in the HO scenes, where several things you need to find can be rather small, and usually well hidden. It's definitely not game breaking, and luckily you have a hint function to help you if you get stuck. Though, it is fair to say that if one is sight impaired, one might struggle here. The music gets annoying after a while, and I suggest to turn it down. Sound effects are anonymous, and there are no voice-overs. They could have done a lot better in this department. There is on

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.

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.
