The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2 Beyond the Horizon 

 

Nicole continues her quest to find her father in The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2 Beyond the Horizon. Are you familiar with this iPhone/iPod Touch game that is also on the iPad? Just in case you are not let me explain a little bit. This is a screen game where you must find hidden items. They are used for things, or go into another item to put it together. The storyline progresses at various intervals to encourage the player to continue on. The real beauty of The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2 Beyond the Horizon is seeing what is on the next screen, and getting to the next part of the story.

The screens on The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2 Beyond the Horizon are beautiful. I am surprised at how good this game looks on the iPod Touch. Zooming in is a nice feature which impressed me even more. The places items are hidden are very clever. Someone put a lot of thought into that aspect of this hand held app. The hint button helped me when I got stuck, as well as the highlights on certain items that can be interacted with.

The music in The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2 Beyond the Horizon impressed me greatly. It has a fantasy feeling to it mixed with a little bit of moodiness. Items click into place with some degree of satisfaction. Well I was satisfied when I found something and put it in the right place. The quest Nicole is on is an honorable one that our readers will most assuredly approve of.

The downside to The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2 Beyond the Horizon is it can be beaten quickly. There are few reasons to replay this app, and the price (currently) is just under five dollars. Family Friendly Gaming was given a download code for The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2 Beyond the Horizon. I would personally spend half the price for this app.

Even though it did not take many days to defeat The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2 Beyond the Horizon, I enjoyed the journey. The storyline is what helps this game, and it had me enthralled. It took me a few screens to get used to the zoom feature. I found myself trying to move an item and accidentally zooming in our out. Some items can be touched once, and then touch the right spot to place them. Others need to be dragged over. I figured this out by trial and error. This never irritated or frustrated me.

I enjoy games like The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2 Beyond the Horizon. These kind of games require thought, and teach us to pay attention to our environments. I hope this franchise continues in the near future. Especially if it can be made longer. I will be recommending this game to family and friends. When Paul asked me to review this game I was not sure, but I am glad I gave The Mystery of the Crystal Portal 2 Beyond the Horizon the opportunity. It was a rewarding experience for me.
