The Surprising Adventures of Munchausen

Most of us are rather tired of murdering and mayhem games that keep coming today. The Surprising Adventures of Munchausen is a new Hidden Object adventure title from BigFishGames that turns out to be a surprisingly refreshing and cute game to play Sunday evening.

It starts with you in the role of a legendary traveller named Baron Munchausen. Being famous for his incredible adventures and sharp-witted mind, Baron Munchausen is an ideal hero for this sort of games. Fortunately, the developers did their best to adapt the storyline to the Hidden Object genre and made this as intriguing as possible. As a result, we have a fun-spun plot, which includes the most outstanding extracts from the tales about the Munchausen’s marvelous travels.   

What’s great about The Surprising Adventures of Munchausen is the way the developers integrated humorous element into the game. The main hero is extremely talkative but it doesn’t bother at all, because his remarks are always funny and wit. You will have enough time to appreciate his good sense of humor, as he will accompany you at every hidden object scene. By the way, all hidden object scenes and mini-games are different, some are easy but fun and fresh. The tasks are not too hard but they make you think a bit.

Of course, the artwork is brilliant, especially the hidden object scenes are gorgeous and very detailed.  Fantasy and vivid imagination of the game illustrators deserve of high praise. The music background is also great, as well as voice-acting. If there are any issues, they are soothed by highly compelling story and challenging gameplay.   

It is one of those games that are fun and entertaining, and you would like to play it again to see things you didn’t see before.  You won’t regret if give it a try.
