Video Game Reviews of MystCustomer Review: Small screen can't contain the wonder of an Age! Summary: 2 StarsI 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!).

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.
