Video Game Reviews of Myst

Customer Review: Small screen can't contain the wonder of an Age!
Summary: 2 Stars

I love Myst. I have every version (original, Real Time, etc) and every sequel (Riven, Exile, etc), so of course I had to have the DS version as well. What a let down! Half the fun of the Myst series is the beautiful and fascinating detail of the Ages, which you can barely see on the DS screen. The other half of the fun in Myst is finding out all the little tasks you have to do in order to complete your work in each Age, and quite frankly, if I didn't already know what to do in each Age, the itty bitty screen pictures wouldn't have helped me. Reading the journals (another important thing in any Myst game) is annoying, with all the scrolling in every direction, and little touches like the opening animation in each Linking Book are gone. I can't recommend the DS version of Myst, but I highly recommend getting the PC version and playing it on the biggest monitor you can find (with the room lights out, too... you really feel like you're there!).

Description of Myst

Myst, the number-one-selling game title of all time with more than 13 million units sold, is THE adventure to have on the DS. Myst is one of the most well known adventure licenses in the world.

The classic adventure that defined the genre, Myst, brings hours of immersive play to the Nintendo DS. Myst is an engaging experience that pulls players into beautiful yet eerie worlds with unique settings in varied times and places. The non-linear game play of Myst is designed unlike any other adventure game with no instructions, inventory, death or dialogue. Myst is about the experience encountered throughout the breathtaking worlds and environments.

Close observation and precise logic will help players unlock the secrets of Myst.

Features:

  • Immerse yourself in six worlds ("Ages") that for the first time include the totally new `Rime Age', a new Arctic world for DS players to explore as they endeavor to uncover clues and solve the mysteries of Myst.
  • Newly re-mastered Video, audio and new music.

  • New interface - The game uses the stylus as the key method of interaction and takes advantage of the dual screens to enhance game play.

  • New mini-tools
    • Players have a new arsenal of tools at their disposal including a magnifying glass, camera, notebook and map.
    • Magnifying glass - With this tool, players can closely inspect clues and items as well as interact with them.
    • Camera - The camera allows players can take a snapshot to use for future reference.
    • Notebook - Players can keep notes in their diary as they travel through Myst.
    • Map - The map can aid in exploration by pinpointing key locations.
  • Original soundtrack - The players experience is enhanced by new music and sound effects that add to the realism of the game.

Myst is an immersive experience that draws you in and won't let you go. You enter a unique setting, venturing alone to varied times and places, the worlds that compose Myst. There are no instructions, and you encounter no living beings but soon realize your actions may help individuals who are somehow trapped in a parallel dimension. You must solve a multitude of puzzles, mazes, and problems, but Myst's principal attractions are its environment and the underlying intrafamily drama that unfolds as you explore. Myst offers no inventory, no death, and no dialogue. Although puzzles don't seem to have much direct connection to the game, they share a commonality. They take on many forms but follow a consistent thread. Some puzzles are very challenging, even obtuse. The nonlinear gameplay of Myst lets you go anywhere at any time.
