Azada - Ancient Magic Game Review
Big Fish Studios has brought back the magical land of Azada for puzzle-loving video gamers with a bent for fantasy and magical stuff. In Azada: Ancient Magic, hapless, young and formerly magical book-trapped magician Titus calls upon your amazing puzzle solving powers to help him with a magical dilemma once again.
In Azada: Ancient Magic, Titus is too afraid to enter the library and thus calls upon your courageous self to disarm the magical menace that plagues him this time. And fortunately for you, Titus has given you a magic medallion with which you can call upon him when you have need. In Azada: Ancient Magic, you can enter the lives of storybook characters in over 20 magic puzzle books. King Arthur, Rapunzel, Henry Jekyll, Buffalo Bill, and many more legends come alive for you as you attempt to uncover and put together the clues.
Many players of the award-winning Azada have been looking forward to this release for a while. However, reactions to the new game are mixed. Some players are finding the new game to be all too easy and too quick to be completed, whereas Azada could really be a mind-bender (and therefore make the game last longer and, thus, extend the fun). Azada: Ancient Magic is a lot about finding the right puzzle pieces and placing them in the right place, whereas the original Azada was about solving puzzles so that you could move through the book pages to free Titus.
On the other hand, other gamers who have downloaded the new game have been challenged by such things as the encrypted message, how to use the Secret Garden Book, how to guide the Tin Man through the World of Oz maze (hint: you gotta use a magnet!), and even finding the wood to put on the fireplace. There seem to be as many players of the new game who are excited and challenged by the new game as there are those who finding it to be mere child's play. Indeed, there are some players of the new game who feel it is better than the original Azada precisely because it is less frustrating.
Some people who have bought the new game are also finding it difficult to download, and grow frustrated as the game's downloading gets interrupted, often causing them to have to start the process over again. However, this may have more to do with problems inherent in Windows Vista or XP than it does with the game software. And most people don't seem to be having that problem with downloading, which one would think would be there much more frequently if it were a flaw on Big Fish's end.
