Review of Rich Diamond
~~Linda F.
Johnson, Linda's Computer Stop
Lynn Lopez from
coregames.com
contacted me about advertising their game, Rich Diamond, in ABC. I replied
to her and sent her the advertising policies for ABC, but also told her I'm
a major gamer and this game looked like one that was right up my alley and I
would be interested in reviewing it for them, if they wanted that. She
replied back to me that yes, she would like that and she sent me a review
copy.Well, I proceeded to become hopelessly addicted to this fun
adventure game. It's full of all kinds of scenarios where you have to
dodge flying arrows, avoid bombs, move objects to fill holes or waterways;
all in a quest to gather gems to reach the next level. The free demo
includes a few scenarios and is fun to play so I recommend you download it
and try it out. However, the full version which Lynn sent me has LOTS
more stuff: all kinds of custom themes so you can change the scenery, etc.
and lots more game scenarios which are known as "level sets". At
first, I was a bit disappointed because I moved through most of the level
sets in the first day I played the game. But then I discovered, on the
Core Games homepage, a link to the
Rich Diamond
Adventurers Guild where I could download LOTS of level sets to add to
the game and they are free for you to add to the full version and updated
weekly, so I quickly filled my game with MANY different scenarios, and some
of them are really tough and I've yet to complete them. The full
version also allows you to create your own levels and this is a lot of fun
too.
All in all, I would say this is a great little game and I recommend you try
the free demo download and see if you get as addicted as I did.
