Hidden Object Game Review: Undiscovered World: The Incan Sun

What is life if it is not a big adventure? In the Undiscovered World: The Incan Sun, our hero has crashed his plane on a not so remote area once inhabited by the Incans. The first thing our hero does is find objects scattered about his plane in true hidden object game style. It is not long before the hero finds there is more to the area than he expected. He is now thrown into a world were he must uncover the secrets of this ancient land.

True to hidden object style, the player is given a list of items to find. You discover the items simply by clicking on them. Once the item is found, the object is removed from the list. Some items are pretty easy to spot while others can blend in quite well.

Objects aren't always what you would expect to see either. For example: the list said phone. I was not thinking about this being set in an earlier era so I was looking for a typical phone. Finally, after finding everything else on the list, I found the phone. The phone was the type you would see on the Andy Griffith Show. You know the type I am talking about. You grab the earpiece and talk into a mouthpiece still attached to the wall. Then you ask an operator to call someone.

Occasionally, the size of the objects will throw you for a loop too. When looking for a grasshopper, I was looking for small things around the cabin of the plane. I was definitely surprised when the grasshopper was about 10 times larger than I expected.

The last thing that made the game more difficult was the names. I don't know about you but it is not often I see the word Anubis. Now, I have watched enough tomb raiding and Egyptian movies to know this will probably be a dog-Like Statue, but it was still unusual.

Each section has the list of objects to find but there is more. Along with the given list, you must find the two hidden statues. The statues allow you uncover the secret of the undiscovered world. While it is not required, there are coins for you to collect too. The coins give you hints on finding the objects that you just can't find.

At the end of a level, there is a mini-puzzle. The puzzle is not difficult at all. Matter of fact, the puzzle pieces are lined on the board. So putting the puzzle together doesn't provide much of a challenge. It is more of a device to move the story along.

The game has a timer that counts up, not down, like most hidden object games. For maximum points, click accurately, click fast, and click multiple items in a row. This is the only way you will be considered an expert at a level. It will take practice because matching the names to the items is not as easy as it sounds. Clicking too many wrong items will not only destroy your accuracy but will also get you a time penalty.
