The Stone of Destiny iPhone Game Review

Posted on 09. Mar, 2009 by iPhone App Reviewer in $3, 8 Star Ratings, iPhone Game App Reviews

The Stone of Destiny: You will enjoy this game to the end and over and over again.

The Stone of Destiny is a classic puzzle game in which you’re on a scavenger hunt to find a list of objects on a detailed photograph. This app was surprisingly addictive and although the storyline is very long and allows playing the game for days you’ll want to zip through it.  The objective is simple, go through a multitude of various locations, each with a different photograph with a list of “hidden” objects to find.  The game is similar to the children’s classic time killer “Where’s Waldo?“  To add some pizazz to the game, they’re a few mini games along the way between puzzles to get your cranium pulsing.

This app is extremely well developed and each photograph is detailed and challenging.  Although some little features are lacking here and there the developers executed an original concept perfectly.  To add some more enthusiasm to the game, a storyline has been added with clever comic strip like screenplays in between puzzle milestones.  The storyline is a perfect little children’s story that will entertain your children on top of the app’s gameplay.  A problem I had though, is that the game is too easy. Each level is timed but the time given is way more than enough, and you could probably solve the puzzle just by waiting for each available hint.  Difficulty levels should be added.

The graphics and user interface are great, as noted above, the photographs are very detailed and look generally perfect.  The storyline screenplays set the mood just right and each strip is excellently drawn.  The game doesn’t lag and has very few glitches.  Overall a superbly developed app.  If you’re a fan of hidden object games definitely check this one out.  Puzzle fanatics should also give it a go!
