The Tudors Game Review

Based on the television series, The Tudors, this latest hidden object game from Merscom has you involved in a fabulous story of betrayal and treason as a spy for King Henry VIII. For history buffs, King Henry VIII ruled England between 1491 and 1547. Henry the Eighth was probably best know for having six wives, two of which he had beheaded for treasonous acts, and for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Catholic Church. He was a colorful and controversial King, loved by some, feared by others and totally detested by many. Henry VIII was the second monarch in the Tudor family royal lineage and succeeded his father Henry VII to the throne.

In this very historical hidden object game, playing as Elena Sedgraves, you will travel across England and Europe, finding clues and uncovering assassination plots and threats against the British throne. There are political conspiracies afoot and the enemies of Henry VIII are gathering strength to bring his rule to an end. You must use all your logic abilities and sniff out the cunning plots so that England, and our dear Henry, are kept safe.

Some of the characters used in the game are reproductions from the actors or actress's from the TV series and the hidden object scenes are nice graphical depiction's of the time era. Sometimes the objects may be unfamiliar to some, just remember the time period and look for things that would fit the scene. Anyway, there is no penalty for too much clicking, except for a slight pause on your cursor, and the hints are unlimited.

The Tudors sports 2 game modes, Relaxed Mode with no timer and no points, where you just play for pure enjoyment, or you can play in the more challenging mode of Normal, with a timer and where you can earn as many points as you can. The hidden objects are randomized, so if you play again there is replay value, and so too are several mini games. While there are unlimited hints, it pays to read the journal and listen to all conversations to gather vital clues to solve puzzles. Mini games can be skipped without penalty, but if you do, remember you are only cheating yourself out of some game enjoyment and shortening the game time, they are not that difficult anyway.

As a classic hidden object game, The Tudors is a good play, with nice length, good graphics and historical story line. It isn't one of the new breed of IHOGS, so if you like a lot more interaction, you may find this classic hidden object game a tad boring. Try the free download, as usual your opinion may differ from ours. We give this one a good thumbs up and really enjoyed a trip down the historical path.
