Shards of Time
SCORE: 69
We play a young lady in Shards of Time.
Her aunt is hospitalized and she quickly realizes her dog is all home
alone. So she jets from the hospital to her aunts house. She is showing
us what is more important - a dog over a human being. While at the house
she learns a secret about her aunt.
They have the power of magic in their heritage. Something bad happened
to her aunt so she must find the pieces of an amulet strewn across the
different time periods. I thought this was a familiar theme, and found
there are other hidden object games that have the player travel across
the different time eras.
I do not like to be negative. I have to give my honest impressions
though. The voice acting in Shards of Time is bad. I did not feel
emotion in the various scenes. Our editor in chief could have done a
better job of voice acting, and some people refer to him as a Vulcan.
Player learn spells in Shards of Time. They allow the player to progress
through this hidden object game at key junctures. Screens are used
repeatedly, but many times we are looking for different things. An
example would be first we look for flowers, and then we look for the
items we need to progress the storyline.
The hidden objects in Shards of Time generally relate to the storyline.
This helped me because it kept me interested in what was going on. I do
feel there is a lack of breaking up the hidden object aspect of Shards
of Time. Doing the same thing level after level gets boring.
Shards of Time does not punish players for tapping all over the screen.
Which is cool. I tapped all over the place, and when I could not find it
that way I tapped on the dog who pointed out where an item was. So the
challenge was not there. Unless it came to one of the puzzles - which
did not include a skip button.
