I always thought the Virtual Villagers series was just borderline in the fun department. With the release of Virtual Villagers 3 the game has now headed south of the border! It's the same old same old in a new location. You now lead your community to the north side of the island to a place they call Isola. There you find a hidden city and try to discover the secrets left behind by the original inhabitants. And of course all the while you must continue to find food for the hungry villagers.

I really feel this is one of those games where the developers decided they could milk some more profit from a game with some name recognition. They didn’t come up with enough new twists or turns to differentiate the game from their two proceeding offerings. It is for this very reason that the casual game marketplace is inundated with sub par games every day of the year.

I wish they would wake up and realize that more is not always better.
