The true essence of adventure is captured in this second PC game inspired by renowned author Jules Verne.
In this first person survival adventure, players will encounter recognizable locations from the famous novel, including the granite house, the volcano and the Nautilus. However, Return to Mysterious Island goes beyond Jules Verne's storytelling as players take on the role of Mina, a courageous young woman on a solo round-the-world sailing expedition. In your quest for survival using logic, discovery, creative inventory management, and elements of the supernatural, the adventure unfolds across splendid photorealistic pre-rendered vistas. Intuitive puzzle challenges and vast exploration of the lush tropical landscapes of the island, all combine for a brilliantly executed adventure game.
Second game in the series inspired by Jules Verne's classics (Nautilus has sold over 117,000 copies worldwide)

This could be a great game, but when I want to download it nothing happens. I have been able to play the free demo, but not the game, despite paying for it. I also cannot figure how to contact amazon.com about this issue, and none of the online "help" topics have been helpful.
I loved this game when it came out 18 years ago. I had to play it again, and it's super cheap. Young people reading this, keep in mind that these were excellent graphics in their time. It's an older game. It's still pretty smooth and plays well. I like the "thinker" games, not just running around shooting at things that are shooting at you. Exploring the island that Captain Nemo had discovered, gathering inventory to help you along the way . . . I see it as two goals. The first is easily achievable - give Captain Nemo's body a proper burial. The second, get off the island. The organization of the inventory is top notch. A simple right-click will pop up a screen with several tabs of spaces where you can organize, put together, and store your inventory. There are nice little hints here and there, but nothing so obvious it's not challenging. If you're a Jules Verne fan, I think you'll enjoy it just a bit more than non fans. :-)
I have to agree with the previous reviewers. I enjoy adventure games, and this is one of the better. I would have rated it five stars except for the fact that it does not run well on Windows 8 - not really a fault of this version of the game as Amazon does not claim it will run on Windows 8. The problem is that the game crashes when attempting to access the inventory. I got around that after several other attempted fixes by running the game on one CPU. However it would then crash on opening. Once I reinstalled the game, it would work fine, but I had to reinstall every time I played after saving. I did complete the game this way. On my second try at starting this game I did an uninstall/reinstall. It still crashes when I try to get to inventory but it now also crashes when I attempt to get to Task Manager so it is completely unplayable. So my recommendation is to not purchase this game if you are running Windows 8 unless you have a lot more patience to research or have more knowledge of systems than I have.
I can't get this game to work. Every time I open it, the screen flickers. Then only a few minutes into gameplay, the game crashes. Not sure what the problem is, but I'm really disappointed.
We played this as a family (8, 19, 43 and 51 years old) and had a great time. We are now working on Mysterious Island 2. No foul language or questionable content or plots. Engaging and some challenging puzzles allowed everyone a chance to have useful input. We would have missed some valuable things had not my 8-year old been very observant in previous areas. We just hook the computer up to our TV. One person steers from the PC and the rest kick back watch and suggest. I wish there were more games out there like this. Hard to find games that have no questionable content.
