Trata-se do clássico jogo de procurar objetos escondidos no cenário, porém com alguns puzzles que quebram a monotonia de ficar só na dinâmica de busca itens na cena. É inspirada na Odisseia de Homero e possui alguns episódios famosos como a caverna do Cíclope Polifemo e a Ilha de Circe, a feiticeira. Um jogo rápido e divertido para passar o tempo entre jogatinas mais sérias.

It's a dumbed down and inaccurate of what history we have - but fun.
Not hugely expensive for the per hour you play.

the game is slow and a bit buggy - theres poor hit detection and some of the puzzles are just weird - its also poorly translated - a ball of yarn is not a skein, nor a pumpkin a gourd, but thats not a programming flaw - but i do dislike it when they use background silhouettes instead of actual items - two stolen cheese wheels out of ten

This is a game that tries to tie the epic tales of Odysseus to Hidden Object Games. It does better with the HOG part than the tales/myths. Might be useful more for the HOG enthusiast, than the literature major...

For the price, it is decent enough.

Průměrná, přesto relativně zábavná odychová adventura. Grafické zpracování ničím neoslní, ale je přehledné a předměty není složité najít. Potěšilo neotřelé prostředí a slušný příběh; je s podivem, že se antická mytologie neobjevuje ve hrách tohoto žánru častěji.

"Odysseus: Long Way Home" ist ein kleines, klassisches englischsprachiges Wimmelbildspiel.

Das Game lehnt sich dabei recht lose an das altbekannte große Epos an. Der trojanische Krieg wird mit pferdaler Hilfe gewonnen und unser Held macht sich auf den Weg heim nach Ithaka und zu Penelope, die ihren Gatten sehnlich erwartet. So hofft Odysseus zumindest. Dummerweise geht auf der Heimfahrt so einiges schief, so gut Odysseus als Kämpfer und Held auch sein mag, als Reiseleiter ist er denn doch eine Pfeife. In den zehn Jahren der Heimfahrt treffen wir auf massig Bekannte wie den einäugigen Polyphem oder den Seher Teiresias, der sich gerade im Hades aufhällt.

Dankenswerterweise wurden die 10 Jahre der Irrfahrt auf etwa 3-4 Spielstunden eingedampft, die auch bei weitem nicht alle Abenteuer erzählen und sich auch ansonsten nicht sehr an die Vorlage halten, aber dennoch nett erzählt sind. Zudem ist alles jugendtauglich und recht gewaltfrei.

Wer sich an wirklich herausragend Gutem ergötzen will, dem sei das Homersche Original (nein, ich spreche nicht von den Simpsons) ans Herz und Hirn gelegt. Die Lektüre ist äußerst spannend und reizvoll.

Wirkliche Tiefe wird hier also nicht geboten. Dafür aber ein nettes, sympathisches, kleines und recht einfaches Wimmel-und Rätselspiel, das gut funktioniert und sich angenehm wegspielen läßt. Eine Vertonung gibt es nicht. Den albernen Sprechanimationen stehen insgesamt detailreiche Screens entgegen. Schön auch: die einfachen Rätsel sind in der Struktur zwar altbekannt, werden aber gut variiert.

This is a casual Hidden Object point and click adventure game, so ignore the bad reviews because it's not true to the source material!

You are Odysseus and the game begins during the Trojan War with you trying to find a quick resolution so you can go home to your wife. Once the war ends, you begin the journey with chapters covering the adventures you have on the way home, and once you get there, there's a final chapter where you have to take back your home and title from the layabouts who moved in in your absence.

The art style is "cartoony," (which I'm not sure is even a word), the hidden object scenes were tricky, (I had to use the hint button on more than one occasion), and the puzzles range from easy to difficult, but there's nothing there you haven't seen before if you've played other HOGs.

The only negatives I have for the game are the writing. There are no voice-overs, so all the conversations have to be read, and the writing is awful. "Thank you for your help. I would never have been able to do that on my own." And the main character, rather than the warrior and adventurer he should be, is instead, Mr. Goody Two Shoes. Ready to help anyone who asks. (Evil witch transforms your crew into animals .... no problem, how can I help you. Crew sink the ship through stupidity and greed .... he doesn't even lose his temper! ... oh well, you go over there while I look for food!)

Overall, if you are bored of the typical supernatural settings that most HOGs are addicted to, Odysseus is a solid game and a nice departure for a few hours into a very different world.

[h1]일리야드 오디세이야를 소재로 한 Hidden Object게임[/h1]

'오디세우스 : 롱 웨이 홈' 이런 게임에 대해서 몇마디 적어본다.
일단은 그리스로마신화를 바탕으로 한 게임으로서 그래픽이 아름답고 가격도 저렴해서 구입하게 된 게임이다.
게임도 플레이하기 쉬운 히든 오브젝트류의 캐쥬얼게임이라 부담없이 즐길수 있다.

주인공은 다른 히든 오브젝트류의 게임과는 다르게 남자인 오디세우스.
그리스로마신화 중 일리아드 오디세이야의 내용을 바탕으로 하다보니까 트로이전쟁을 하고 있는 것으로 게임은 시작한다.
직접적으로 전쟁을 하는 게임은 아니고 숨은그림찾기나 미니게임 등을 통해서 아이템을 얻고 아이템을 조합해서 이야기가 진행되는 방식.

여타 히든 오브젝트게임과 패턴이 같다고 할수 있다. 숨은그림찾기와 미니게임, 모를땐 힌트를 통해서 이야기를 풀어가는 방식.
저렴한 가격에 소프트한 게임이라 많은 걸 바랄순 없고 그냥 몇시간 즐기는 게임이라고 할수 있다.
게임의 스토리는 제목(Odysseus: Long Way Home - 오디세우스 : 집으로 긴 여정)처럼 트로이전쟁을 끝내고 집으로 돌아가면서 겪게 되는 모험을 전제적인 스토리로 하고 있다. 중간에 외눈박이 괴물도 만나고 하는건 다 같다.

캐쥬얼게임으로서 그래픽도 멋지고 소프트하게 즐길순 있지만...
아쉬운 점 세가지를 뽑자면,
첫째, 한글화가 안되어있다. 게임 진행하기에는 문제 안되지만 캐릭터와의 대화 내용을 제대로 몰라서 그게 아쉽다.

둘째, 스토리진행 방식에 히든 오브젝트 게임인지 몰라도 트로이전쟁의 경우는 목마만 완성하면 전쟁 후의 이야기는 모두 생략되고 곧바로 배를 타고 집으로 향해하는 장면이 나오지 않나, 사이클롭스(외눈박이괴물)와의 모험도 아이템 몇개 모아서 사이클롭스한테 갖다주면 얘기가 그 중간 과정은 생략되고 다음 이야기로 넘어가버린다. 이런 게임의 한계인지도 모르겠다.

셋째, 도전과제가 없다는게 아쉬운 점이다.

전체적으로 그냥 가볍게 즐길수 있는 게임이고, 그러다보니 폰게임으로 나온 게임이다.
70점 정도의 게임이라고 할수 있다.

It was so broken, I couldn't beat the game. It also crashed very often. It's a shame, because I would have enjoyed this if it was working properly.

Before wrapping up an actual review, I have to declare that I'm literature major. Thus, I have read and reread both [i]Iliad[/i] and [i]Odyssey[/i] more times than I can remember in my years. As being classical epics of Homer, they portray the Trojan War - a tremendously detailed bloody narration of never-ending epic carnages and its political attachments - and Odysseus' journey back home to Ithaca from the Trojan War: both a mythological and psychoanalytical journey of transcendence and growing up. This little HOG, coming from a small Russian developer basically butchers the epic of Odyssey.

The game starts up with a narration of the Trojan War and the presentation of the legendary product of Odysseus' famous wits and wisdom: the Trojan horse. We take on the joy of watching Odysseus and Agamemnon as best buddies. Then, we follow Odysseus through his many journeys, solving his famous adventures through HOGs and basic puzzle scenes. We see him becoming a chef for the cyclops, a friendly visitor for Helios, Poseidon and Circe; and finally, a returning hero who'd use a bee coven to get rid of the suitors of Penelope! Sorry for presenting spoilers on that part, but it really hit some nerve for me.

As you can see, the epic is HEAVILY watered down to be reimagined as child friendly - no violence, sexual encounter or political subtext - which I found to be greatly distasteful specifically for this tale. Any original tale, epic or story can be watered down to be kid friendly. I do not have any major problems with the idea, considering that Disney has been doing so for decades and pulling it off as marvelous work. Yet, the Odyssey is really a bad choice to be retold through a HOG for a new developer. It is an established tale that would create specific expectations - contrary to many other tales from Greek mythology - and picking such cumbersome work without much subtext or experience usually ends up as a disappointment. In my opinion, such was the case for this game. If this would be a completely new tale without the name of Odysseus, I'd probably be at least okay with it.

As a HOG, [i]Odysseus: Long Way Home[/i] isn't anything masterful either. It sure is buggy, works quite slowly and aside the beautiful artwork, animations act so clunky and unnatural that you'd be creeped out watching Odysseus move or Circe talk. There is no voice acting. Puzzles are ordinary - not hard, not easy. HOG scenes are a bit repetitive, using same 2 scenes per act over and over again. There is no map, because there is only 3-4 areas for each chapter and a lazily done audio song swirling in the background.

Over all, I'll pass and give a down vote for the butchered storyline, pretty yet slow display, run-of-the-mill gameplay and distorted animations. There are many great HOGs out there for your enjoyment, hailing from A+ developers or small firms telling original stories. [i]Odysseus: Long Way Home[/i] is not one of them.

A cute little point and click hidden object game BUT it is [u]buggy as hell[/u]!
I have to go back to the main menu any time I click on an item to pick up (it doesnt put it straight in my inventory).
Also, I have to click back to the main menu every time I finish a hidden object puzzle as it doesnt show which items I've already found and it also doesn't give me the one item at the end of the hidden object scene.
This is very frustrating and makes playing the game quite a tedious task. Please please please fix! So far I have been enjoying the game apart from that.

Неплохое развлечение на пару вечеров. Игрушка простенькая, но затягивает. В ней много головоломок на любой вкус. Не только поиск скрытых объектов, но и классические собери паззл, сыграй в пятнашки, воспроизведи мелодию и тому подобное. Можно даже порыбачить и пострелять из лука. Хорошо, что разработчики предусмотрели режим подсказок и возможность пропустить головоломку, если с ней не удается справиться. Музыкальных тем пара штук, но они не надоедают. Графика примитивная. Не ждите изысков. Однако своих денег игра стоит. Я получила удовольствие от решения головоломок и поиска предметов.
