Description

The Fantastic Journey is based on the famous Where's Waldo series of children's books, where the reader has to find Waldo, who is hidden in various pictures in the middle of hundreds of people. The videogame is very faithful to the book, and contains of course some new gameplay mechanisms.

Where's Waldo?: The Fantastic Journey is a puzzle-solving and hidden objects adventure game, where the player have to find twelve ancient scrolls hidden throughout twelve different worlds. In each of these worlds, the player has to examine hundreds of static and scrollable pictures, to find Waldo but also some other characters and objects that are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

During the adventure, the player will meet with some famous characters from the Where's Waldo universe such as Wizard Whitebeard, Wenda and Odlaw. Woof the dog is a precious companion which will be able to give hints to find some objects or characters if the player gets stuck.

In tradition with many hidden-objects games, The Fantastic Journey comes with a set of mini-games to complete between the casual levels. The game includes both a single-player mode as well as a two players versus mode, with a set of power-ups to enhance the player searches or to block in many ways those of the opponent.

Harder than I expected

The Good
The artwork is good, the dialogue is fully voiced and there are two difficulty settings - I played on the ADULT setting and struggled but in a good way because I would have slated this game if it had been too easy.

The Bad
There is one big picture and some bits of the image are animated. These look like they could be fun to watch but because the game was timed I was not able to appreciate them. Shame because they look fun, I suppose I could play on the KIDS difficulty setting but then I miss out on a challenging game.

The Bottom Line
I am much too old to have had anything to do with the Where's Wally books but I like hidden object games and I expected this would be a breeze. I played on the ADULT setting and it wasn't.

Decent challenges. I got to a point where I could not continue because I did not score high enough on a level and after three tries I gave up - it was fun but just not fun enough to keep trying.
