Book of Legends is an adventure game. Charleston Black, a young historian, discovers the long-lost Book of Legends and sends it to his sister Zoe, a student of archaeology. Zoe directs her brother via cell phone on an adventure to unravel the secrets the book holds. Players hunt for clues to help Zoe and Charleston find King Arthur's fabled sword, called Excalibur, using the Book of Legends as their guide.
This game features colorful and realistic graphics, and Zoe and Charleston talk to one another as you help them along on their adventure. The dialogue between the siblings has the rehearsed tone of a children's TV cartoon, but it gets the job done. The tale integrates some history into the storyline. Your journey begins in Washington, D.C., and leads you through well-known landmarks such as the Lincoln Memorial and the White House. Combining a subtle history lesson with the challenge of a treasure hunt for items to use in solving riddles makes this a great game for children and adults alike. There's plenty of action, but it's not violent, and it involves critical thinking and puzzle-solving skills. The game offers hints to help children and impatient adults make the play quicker and easier.
This trial version of the software limits play to 60 minutes. Book of Legends installs and uninstalls with no problems. This game is great fun for anyone looking for an exciting, brain-challenging adventure with a touch of history, a bit of mystery, and a fascinating puzzle to solve.
