The Incredible Machine 3

For adults, especially those that grew up with Mousetrap and Wile E., the game is really cool. If your bag is puzzle solving without all the multimedia hype and noise, then TIM is for you. If only there was a Roadrunner...

If you ever thought about giving "The Incredible machine" series a chance then it is probably now or never. But, if you bought the original "Incredible Machine" (and its sequel the "More Incredible Machine") then I would suggest you find the way to your nearest software store, pick this one up and get ready to demonstrate to the world that your brain is a terrible thing to waste.

Klar wird ein gewitzter Teenager manchen Level schneller lösen als der gestreßte Vater, aber deswegen gleich ein Edutaiment-Produkt aus diesem Denkspiel machen? Zugegeben, die Rätsel sind etwas leichter als bei der Incredible Machine 2, aber trotzem macht das Spiel einen Heidenspaß. Ansonsten bleibt das Fazit wie vor drei Jahren: tolle Spielidee, ausgefeilte Puzzles, schöne aber zweckmäßige Grafik.

This is a particularly good title with which kids can both learn and have fun judging angles, connecting up motors and cogs and pipes and raising and lowering buckets. Younger children will certainly need help with the latter groups which will give parents a good excuse to try their hand. Not that you need to be a parent or even need an excuse to enjoy these addictive puzzles. The game saves automatically each time you quit and there are a number of game slots so that several players can play at different times whilst having their progress recorded separately. There is also a two player mode as well as an option for interested players to construct their own puzzles and test them out on unsuspecting friends and family.

TIM passar fortfarande bäst när mormor och lille Kalle sitter tillsammans framför datorn. För oss andra finns det roligare spel för pengarna.
