Summary:
I give it all 5's because i cant think of anything wrong with the game. It has stunning graphics better then any game ive seen. I have it for my xbox and not my ps2 but i imagine they are the same. The sound is nicely done aswell as the classic myst gameplay.

Summary:
Myst III is a beautiful relic of a by-gone era. The days of intellectual gaming are behind us.

Of course the TRUE adventure game - spawning from the text adventure named (appropriately) ADVENTURE, making its way through the ZORK games, and eventually yielding the MYST series, arrived on the computer and never truly saw light on the console - until now.

Myst III is wonderful. It is a great gaming experience where the delight of the game comes not from the vanquishing of foes with mad button mashing, but instead from the solving of complex logic problems amid a beautiful pre-rendered landscape.

Unfortunately this game does not appeal to the average console gamer, and so those of us who enjoy an intellectual challenge may find ourselves without a successor to Myst. Myst III for the console has been discontinued.

If you are a fan of the original adventure game - the grandfather of all computer and video games - I highly recommend this product. It is a wonderful experience. Don't wait too long though - they are getting hard to find.

Myst III is on sale at EBWorld.com for $20.

Summary:
Myst III Exile is a first-person, puzzle solving game. The concept of the game is excellent and well worth the price. The puzzles aren't that easy, many require lots of thinking. There is a hint and tip guide included that really helps you through the game. I think that this is a great game and everyone would like it.
