Detail
Lex the hungry Bookworm is back, this time on a mission to rescue his girlfriend Cassandra, who has been kidnapped. Standing in the brave worms way are several lands filled with countless vicious enemies!Anybody who has played previous POPCAP games will instantly recognize the large, cartoon-like graphics in this latest puzzle adventure.Here the emphasis is on combat! Every turn-based encounter Lex fights takes place on a single screen with Lex on the left and his adversary on the right. Each has a strength bar depicted by rows of hearts which are depleted when damage is incurred and once all the hearts are gone the battle is over.Beneath the adversaries is a grid of sixteen tiles,
This is a fantastic little game for both parents and kids. It gets my little blighters thinking of words and hopefully learning to spell a bit better without them realising it- very important when anything which is obviously "work" gets a whining about being too tired or it being too hard. But hey presto, dress it up as fighting baddies and the enthusiasm is unstoppable- "Can we play bookworm adventures, Dad, pleeeease..." As for me, I found the gameplay very entertaining all the way to completion.The premise of the game is that you are the heroic bookworm of the title who has to battle various baddies from literature (eg medusa or circe the enchantress in book 1, dracula in book 3)
I am new to games, having just moved to a six-core 3.3 with 8G RAM and a proper GEFORCE card. I was given the old Bookworm by my family in winter and it was excellent, but it has gone with the old PC. This different one I have bought for myself and have only done a few hours, but keep getting the itch to go back - when I click "close" or "exit", a distraught little Wormface with tears in his eyes appears and the little voice says: "No, don't leave me!" while the option to go back magically appears underneath. Ah, to be so wanted and needed...I am used to words and books, and this game exercises various word skills in the context of a quest in many amusing and unexpected ways; a lot of commentaries
This is my very first and only computer game! Usually I just don't have the time or inclination to play any of the silly 'shoot 'em up' games and was looking for something to keep my mind active. I guess this was meant initially for the very young but I have found it to be an excellent game for any age, usually late at night, unwinding from work. I have got up to just under one and a half million on the score before I got burned down! Spend a couple of hours each week. I have found some very unusual words too! It is good that it won't accept any profanity so kids can safely play it. I must admit I usually play it with the sound turned off as the monotonous little tune that plays over and over
I wanted something that I could do that challenged me,but not so hard that the nephew and nieces couldn't enjoy playing it as well. This worked out well for the age gap,and has helped us all improve our spelling and also encouraged us to expand our words from simple to more complicated ones.The cost was well worth it as the hours of fun obtained through it have been enormous. Though bookworm can be annoying with his sounds he is also alike aball person/character as well. Turning the sound is available.As I had played this online but found the trial time always seemed to cut me off when I was getting better at the game, I felt that it would of been nice to find out that it actually had more stages than seen on the online game.
This may be classed as a kids game but it is fun for adults too! I brought this game and now all the family plays it (ages 5-54!!)It is addictive and really fun - mini games for inbetween and the adventure part is very fun indeed!!! Never get sick of replaying either!! Do recommend it if you enjoy word games (I also recommend the original bookworm as well!!!)Very good price for the game you get - much more expensive at other places so this is a great bargin - also good stocking filler or mini birthday pressie ;)I do wish they would bring out the Fractured Fairy Tales Version too *Fingers Crossed*
Not the same as traditional Bookworm, but good fun working through the different levels and defeating mythical beasts along the way by spelling words from a grid of letters. The longer the word, the more damage you can inflict! I bought this for my nephew who is 9 and we both love it, it's a great way to get a child into words and spelling. Only problem I have is that I raced through to the end and finished the adventure and am missing it! I think there's a Volume 2 out or coming out, hope to buy this on Amazon soon.
We bought this to encourage our kids to work on their spelling. When they get a look in I'm sure that it's helpful for them, but that's comparatively rare since all the family have found this totally addictive. A really well constructed game, with infinite possibilities, which works equally well for those aged 7 and 91 in our family (and all those in between). Our only caveat - the sound effects are infuriating, but it's perfectly possible to turn them off!!
I bought this for my grandchildren for when they come to stay, the game is pretty simple and the further you progress the bigger and better word are needed to beat your foe. this is where the conflict lies. my kids are pretty ordinairy and unless i'm there encouraging them and giving them hints they lose interest in the game.Ienjoyed it but for them there was not enough action
Really addictive. Label says 7+. I am 10 times that age and am really enjoying it. Up to level 23 at the moment and fighting for my life. Died at least three times at this level but I'll get there yet.Age 7's will probably need assistance getting usable words from a grid of 25 letters. Good enjoyable fun.
