The fourth game in the Myst adventure series will answer one of the biggest questions from the original: "Where did the brothers go when they were trapped in those books?" Despite the rehashed story, Myst IV Revelation holds great potential for fans of puzzle-solving mysteries.

We personally liked the 3D interpretation in Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, but this version goes back to the conventional first-person view. The 360-degree, living environments react to your cursor or hand and offer interactive events. A three-level hint system also is a nice touch. You might not need a hint, but if you do, you'll appreciate its existence.

The success of Myst IV Revelation doesn't depend on the demo, which functions best as a technical display. It depends on the success of the puzzle-makers and the storytellers. The original Myst set a standard, and the Ubisoft Montreal developers have lived up to the task of making it look better and putting in nice interface touches, such as the record/play options. On the other hand, the story is more than 10 years old, the puzzle is a Hikari knockoff, and it's the fourth game in the series. "So, what was your favorite fourquel?" "Ultima IV." Wait. I take it all back!

Cons

Summary
I guess this just isn't supposed to run on windows 7 because the screen just turned blank when it started up. Very disappointed because I honestly loved these games growing up.
Way toooooo short but very very sweet

Summary
1024x768 resolution on demo looks dated on 1600x1200 flat panel display. Why couldn't Myst IV has been released w/ 1600x1200 resolution? Not worth playing at this low resolution scaled up to my flat panel's native maximum! I'll pass.
back to what it was....

Short, Sweet, and a Breath of Relief

Pros
Cons
Summary
Although this demo is extremely short for such a large file, it reassured my desire to play Myst IV. I am happy to see the first-person view return; Uru's gameplay took so much away from the experience by having the player focus less on the environment (which MADE the Myst series). Instead players got to watch as semi-realistic impersonations of themselves traversed a world with controls that would send shivers down your back. Anyway, I'm pleased with the Revelation demo, and look forward to seeing it outdo Exile.
Huge File, Very Limited Demo

Pros
Cons
Summary
I am not a previous Myst player. I think the game might be interesting, however the demo didn't provide enough exploration to make that determination. Quite possibly the publisher assumed most demo users have previous Myst experience and would only need a glimpse of the current graphics and sound to be enticed. I am not knocking the game, only the demo.
Sweet and short

Summary
The game is a good one, with detailed environments and really good music that's fit for the environment. My only complaint is that it stops short just when you want to go more.
cool

a step foreward in the myst series. nice grafix and animations. you can interact with the environment nicely. the demo is short, but it gives you a feel for the game.
