Epic Adventures: La Jangada Game Review

IHOGS are still evolving into graphical story books with interactive elements, and this latest game to be added to the exciting IHOG genre, Epic Adventures: La Jangada, takes you on a wonderful romantic adventure into 19th century Brazil. The story is based on a Jules Verne novel called La Jangada, and loosely follows the plot where you help a young lady by the name of Minha gather evidence to clear her father, Joam, from wrong doing.

Played over 8 chapters with 48 levels all up, those who take their time and read through the story line should get at least 5 to 6 hours enjoyment. The hidden object portion of the adventure game is cleverly developed, with objects to be found being of the the age period and a good replica in actual size measurement. There are mini games to break up the monotony and graphics are well drawn, with perhaps the exception being Minha, whose eyes are a bit spooky. The music is non intrusive, blending in with the game to a point where it seems almost non existent. There are some bells tolling, howling wolves and other audio noises that add atmosphere to the game development.

For some, Epic Adventures: La Jangada may be a little grating on the nerves because of the need to read, or listen to, the story, yet this is really the whole point of interactive games, where you not only get to input on the game interface, you are also immersed into the story line, just where a good novel should take the reader.

Epic Adventures: La Jangada isn't a hard game as far as hidden object games go, but the nice interaction, where you search for objects and use some in various scenes, then replace certain objects in their rightful positions in others, is a good mix which keeps the interest all the way to the end. Like previously stated, Epic Adventures: La Jangada is not overly difficult, but if you do need a hint they are unlimited and replenish quickly. For those that get completely stumped, there is a link to a complete Epic Adventures: La Jangada walkthrough in the hints section below.

As you progress through the game it does get harder, with objects getting small and smaller where those unlimited hints come in handy. Epic Adventures: La Jangada really is a game geared to the more feminine gender, as the story is wonderfully romantic. It is very interesting and challenging for an interactive hidden object game, yet could be a little slow if you can't get pulled into the story.
