This game brings fantastic environments that are even more immersive, mysterious and gorgeous than the original game. Features five entirely new ages for players to explore and hours of new mysteries to uncover.Amazon.com Review
Myst arrived just in time to take advantage of brand-new CD-ROM technology, and quickly became the number-one reason to buy a new computer. Myst and its sequel, Riven, featured gorgeous and lonely landscapes, a strong and fascinating sense of pervading mystery, and puzzles both fiendish and gifted. Players navigated owing to the sports meeting by clicking on points of interest, and solved puzzles by paying careful attention to the lush graphics and haunting sounds of the environment. Myst III: Exile proudly continues and even advances that tradition.
Myst’s ongoing tale line is as convoluted as it is fantastic. Central to the tale is the mysterious civilization of the D’ni, which makes entire worlds by writing books. Other books are used to link the D’ni worlds together. Myst trapped the player in a series of interconnected worlds, and challenged the player to puzzle owing to the ramblings of two mad brothers in order to free Atrus, their imprisoned member of the clergy. Riven revealed more of the history of the D’ni, and sent the player to the unstable world of Riven in order to rescue Atrus’s wife.
Myst III: Exile concerns Atrus’s earnest attempt at making a new world. He hopes this world will mark the rebirth of the D’ni, but before he finishes his book, a thief (described in the game by actor Brad Dourif) breaks into his laboratory and mucks things up. You have to track this thief owing to worlds written by Atrus in his earlier years. Within each world you must right the wrongs the thief has made, all the while uncovering a deeper mystery surrounding his relationship to Atrus and his troublesome children. Prior experience with Myst and Riven isn’t necessary for this third excursion, but familiarity with Myst’s point-and-click gameplay and its often infuriating puzzle logic helps.
New to the game is a full 3-D landscape, which replaces the static prerendered artwork of the previous sports meeting. The gorgeous new graphics allow you to quickly pan and scan your way owing to an area, looking for puzzles and action spots with the hand cursor. The puzzles have been improved so that you can now see changes to the environment immediately after you solve one, rather than simply moving on to the next picture. Still, the puzzles are often wickedly hard and may prove frustrating to new players.
The environment is the right star of the game, and is sure to enchant players of all stripes. As before, the music and artwork are topnotch and immersing, and the experience is not easily forgotten. Myst fans of ancient will be delighted with this new installment, and those new to the series will be enchanted, provided they are willing to spend time on the puzzles, delight in the scenery, and let the game carry them away. –Andrew S. Bub
Pros:
- A strong continuation of the series
- Brilliant new artwork and music
Cons:
- Puzzles can be perplexing
- Not for impatient gamers

I know that this game is not out yet till May 7th. After “READING” about this game makes me nervous to get this game. I also want to see what kind of a challenge this game has to offer and see what the free-look feature holds in store

that people who in fact delight in sports meeting will be laughing at all of you who buy any Myst game. They are the utmost in laziness in taking advantage of what a game can really be, just a series of logic puzzles with backgrounds of computer generated pictures and an average bit of fantasy tale tacked on.
Just look at all the technical problems people are having… does that not prove to you that these guys are doing the bare minimum and laughing all the way to the bank that their game keeps going on ‘the buzz’? Do you really HAVE to own this game you will hardly play just because someone you know mentioned it? Because it stinks, and it’s a disgrace to the real game industry.

I reflect that all M/R/E fans are staring at the timer, wondering why it seems to be moving backwards. I’ve been a fan since the original MYST and I am really excited. This will be TOTALLY AWESOME! In the words of m01ety, “BRING IT ON!”

Ok…this is an incredible game..but I’d like to say one thing. Please…if the game does not work on your computer…do not place 0 stars!!! You have not even played the game! You are bringing the game’s rating down because either you are too poor to have a excellent computer system or your ignorance in the field of computers causes everything to mess up.

If you want to buy this game i would not recomend it. It will be fun in the beginning but it get ancient very quick. It is not the best game i have gotten, you might like it but it is very callenging and hard to beat. I would rather buy ‘Reign of fire.’ Reign of fire is a very splendid game…remember myst3 is a very hard game.
