Product Description:
Myst III: Exile introduces a new villain, a bitter man whose home world was ruined by Sirrus and Achenar, and who returns to take revenge against Atrus and his family at their most vulnerable time. The player is trapped in a mysterious age, and must explore the environment and navigate its puzzles to gradually uncover the mystery of this new adversary.

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 beautiful and lonely landscapes, a strong and fascinating sense of pervading mystery, and puzzles both fiendish and clever. Players navigated through the games 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 story line is as convoluted as it is fantastic. Central to the story is the mysterious civilization of the D'ni, which creates 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 through the ramblings of two mad brothers in order to free Atrus, their imprisoned father. 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 creating a new world. He hopes this world will mark the rebirth of the D'ni, but before he finishes his book, a thief (portrayed in the game by actor Brad Dourif) breaks into his laboratory and mucks things up. You have to track this thief through worlds written by Atrus in his earlier years. Within each world you must right the wrongs the thief has created, 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 games. The gorgeous new graphics allow you to quickly pan and scan your way through 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 difficult and may prove frustrating to new players.

The environment is the true 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 old 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, enjoy 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 confusing
Not for impatient gamers

Amazon.com Product Description:
In creating Myst III: Exile, developers combined new technology with the history of the popular Myst series. Supporting optional 3-D hardware, the game features a free-look movement system, allowing players to pan 360 degrees in any location. There are five new ages to explore, each featuring a unique visual style. The story line focuses on a new character, a villain whose home world was ruined by Sirrus and Achenar (familiar to those who have played the previous games), and has returned to take revenge against Atrus and his family. Explore the environment and solve puzzles to uncover the mystery of this new adversary.

- Finally! A Myst Game that Satisfies More Than One Audience!
I hated the first and second Myst games. (That's a nice way to start a review.) Although I found the concept interesting, and the visuals good for their days, it lacked everything else. Myst III, is the first in the series that is worth your while.

The problem with the series, is that it's not like other games. Myst is about solving mysteries and undoing puzzles. It's a neat idea. However, it attracts a very narrow audience. The story lines had very little suspence or character development. ... Read More

- Myst:: Exile to the world of nausea
I had only been playing the game for a few minutes when I got dizzy and had to stand over the toilet until the feeling of nausea left and I stopped feeling like I was going to blow my lunch out of this world. I played Myst and I thought it was really good. I tryed to play Riven but I coudn't get it to start, so i skipped ahead to Myst Exile. The way your cursor moves in the game sort of gives you the illusion that the screen is concave and the way you move about made me get motion sickness and i am fine ... Read More

- Stunning Myst Scenery with terrible plotline and unsatisfying ending
I'm a big fan of the Myst/Riven/Uru serries, but in myst 3 they tried to add an in-depth plotline with characters you couldn't interact with. The point is the characters and plot they added made the game seem korny. And Exile was painfully shrot. I think there were only three or four worlds. The game ended and I sat there wondering if I skipped something, I didn't. Out of all of them, Riven has been my favorite. It's a beast though, like 7 disks or something. Anyway, I didn't care for what they did with exile, ... Read More

- Excellent game, satisfying endings
I just re-played Exile, and have come to appreciate this game more than before. While it is an off-shoot of the Myst series, it is still an excellent game for many reasons.

The storyline makes sense, unlike some games I've played. Poor Saavedro- you can't help but feel sorry for the guy. Those hoodlum sons of Atrus ruined Saav's world- he's lost everything, including his wife and small daughters...and he's out for revenge. To do this, he steals a linking book to another world, hoping Atrus will chase ... Read More

- Great graphics, but that's about it
I will be one of the few people to write a negative review about this game. I tried to play this game several times, and all to no avail because it made me dizzy and nauseous, literally -- due to the way the graphics were constructed. Yes, the graphics are very well done and colorful. But as you move through the realm in 1st person, you have to constantly click through the land, go back and forth, clicking to look around in all directions, which gets annoying after a while. It seems like the very point of this game ... Read More
