Summary: Myst IV
Comment: Very challenging game. Attention to detail is most important. Also it takes a lot of time to figure out the puzzles. It's a game that requires a lot of patience.

Summary: Myst IV: Great Game
Comment: I love this game. I have played it twice and would play it again. The graphics were great, the story line was amazing. I hope others who play the game will feel the same.

Summary: Doesn't work on my Intel Mac
Comment: I originally bought this game for my Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz but received and error message stating that the game is not supported. (I believe Myst URU Live is the only of the Myst series to work on Intel Macs) I was, however, able to install this on my Windows XP PC so it wasn't a total waste. The game is beautiful and the puzzles are fairly challenging. I give this game a favorable review for content and not for compatiblity.

Summary: Most interesting Myst I've played
Comment: Ok, I was fascinated by the original Myst back when it came out. However, after awhile it got boring, too many puzzles and, for me, not enough storyline aspects. I have the same feelings about Riven and Exile. Myst Revelation is much better from this standpoint, and the in-game journal/camera makes things much easier as far as getting the clues one needs (I'm horrible at sketching). There is also much more information surrounding the characters, giving more dimension to the mystery. For whatever reason, the puzzles are easier for me in this game, although it may be because I'm more engaged with getting to the next step to find more clues.
Haven't finished a full game yet, just having fun taking my time to get there. Beautiful graphics, game works perfectly on my Vista platform.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Excellent
Comment: One of the most outstanding Adventure games that I've ever played. I have a library of Myst games. Outstanding!
