Natalie Brooks: The Treasure of the Lost Kingdom is the second game following the adventures of the teen adventurer, Natalie Brooks. Unlike Nancy Drew though, you still get to play with a familiar hidden object interface that definitely looks a lot like the original game. But still, sequels can only improve, and for this game, that statement significantly applies.

Natalie Brooks is not born an amazing adventurer; she obviously got to where she is now because of some outside influence. This time around, the influence is her grandpa, a famous archaeologist in his own right. The story begins after her grandpa got kidnapped by an unknown person hoping to cash in on an ancient treasure. It’s now up to Natalie to find the criminal’s ransom demand and bring her grandpa home within the set time limit.

Natalie Brooks: The Treasure of the Lost Kingdom is a hidden object game, but unlike other games of this type, almost all of the hidden items are needed to develop on the game’s storyline. In some cases that you’ll be given random items you’ll need to find, Natalie will beforehand state that she has to clean the area, thus ending up with a reason for you to find listed items. But most of the time, the game is driven by goals you’ll need to accomplish and puzzles you’ll need to solve relevant to the progress of Natalie’s story.

The scenes are not timed and you’re provided with a replenishing hint button to help you unstuck yourself against hard-to-find items. All you have to do during the whole game is to enjoy the storyline and read closely the character dialogues. Your quest will commence after you’re given tasks on what to do next. Look for highlighted objects and possible inventory items, zoom in on specific parts of the scene, and try to solve the mini-puzzles that pop-up whenever they are required to continue your quest.

One thing you must remember though is that tasks almost always overlap each other. It’s pretty easy to lose focus on what you’re trying to accomplish first on a given scene. Good thing though that the “Goals” button is always there beside Natalie to remind you on your tasks. Besides, the game intentionally deviates you from your initial goal as you encounter road blocks that can only be unlocked by completing other separate goals. I liked it this way though, since the game encourages you to think more, which is not the case on straightforward hidden object games.

Natalie Brooks: The Treasure of the Lost Kingdom is presented beautifully with a very engaging storyline you’ll love to see finished until the end of the game. Through the cinematic, through the comic book-like sequences, and even through the dialogues that occur in-game, it’s fun to follow-through on how Natalie can now get out of her predicament. And with good graphics and nice sounds, the development team really overdid themselves to make such a fine game.

No doubt, the game is really worth the buy. I even began feeling that the game length is not enough. Maybe I’m spot on too, but now, it’s up to you to decide.
