Virtual Villagers: A New Home Review Summary

Overall Virtual Villagers is a great game that will entertain you for a long long time. Playing in short bursts means you won't have to spend all your time playing and having things progress while the game is off makes it interesting. Easy controls and a family friendly theme makes this game playable by anyone. With plenty of upgrades and mysteries this game is well worth the time.

Game Description

Fans of "The Sims", Check This Out!

Trapped on a deserted island! Virtual Villagers is about a group of desperate people that have survived a catastrophic natural disaster and must learn to survive on the island of Isola.

Teach them to farm, research new technologies, build new living quarters, and have children to grow the village.

Guide the day-to-day lives of these villagers and help them explore and restore their new home. As your village grows and prospers, your villagers become curious about their mysterious new island home and the secrets it holds.

16 Puzzles to Solve

As your villagers grow in their skills, they will be able to do new things like remove the boulder to a secret cave and understand some of the mysterious plants on the island. Discover and solve these puzzle "milestones" by gaining experience in farming, research, breeding, building etc. and unlocking new technologies. You never know what is hidden on the island and discovering new things is a whole lot of fun.

Real Time Game Play

Just like Fish Tycoon from the same game developer, Virtual Villagers take place in real time meaning when you shut off the game, the villagers are still working and growing in their skills.

You will need to check in with them now and then to make sure they are staying on task, nobody is sick, and you are advancing in your discoveries. This is a nice feature if you don't want to sit in front of a game for hours and hours at a time.

A Unique Type of Game

If you are tired of the same old kind of game, Virtual Villagers will be a breath of fresh air and worth your time. Give a shot and download the free trial! Also, try the sequel, Virtual Villagers 2, that picks up where this game leaves off and the latest adventure Virtual Villagers 3!

Virtual Villagers Sequels!

Once you have solved this mystery, there are more mysteries on the island of Isola to uncover!

In Virtual Villagers 2, you find some children living on the island. Train these children to survive and grow and find out what kinds of secrets they might reveal!

In Virtual Villagers 3, you discover the ruins of an ancient city. What could this possibly be about? Find out now!

Virtual Villagers, Jul 03, 2010

well, i thought that this game was interesting and kinda cool. the little villagers move around by the click of a mouse. its almost like in real life, which makes it better. what i think that this game needs is more animation and a clothes shop or a wardrobe or something. we need to be able to change their clothes and maybe also the faces and hairstyles. since they are trapped in an island and dont have the resources to make clothes then, i guess, just make them out of leaves and the stuff they DO have. other than that this game was very cool and awesome.

I love the Virtual villagers saga. I think that it is a nice way to unwind and mess around with some people.

My experience for this game is that its very fun and it teaches you basic things about survival and making tough decisions when it comes to an event that is happening.

I loved the game because it was a time waster and you learn a lot from something small and unexpected from a game.
What i did not like about it was the difficulty of solving things on your own, I don’t even get the boulder part :P

I recommend this game for everyone. Kids, adults,teenagers or whoever, its a great experience for everyone. the full version was better than the free download because we don’t have to worry about staying up all night not to lose the free trial. (don’t do that, I tried and its not good for you and I died in the morning) its a matter of time before you realized that 5 hours has past and you felt like it was only half an hour. that’s how good this game is.

But whats better is that attempting to play the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th version is amazing as much as the first but the 4th has more benefits. Virtual families is another great example of an unexpected game experience to learn how to be a parent. Trust me, that game was SOOOOO fun. Not kidding, I stayed up ALL night and died the next morning :D
anyone can play and so can you, try it and you will have fun playing the games i have recommended for people who loves these kind of Sim games.

Virtual villagers a new home is a pretty awesome game. I enjoy playing everyday and all day if I could!

my tribe, Jan 24, 2010

My tribe is an easy game, it’s like virtual villagers but easier. It still has a few hard bits which is good because it’s not like you turn it on and finish it in 1 minute. It’s alright for kids.

Virtual Villagers Player Comments

"I like this game for its real time game play. The characters age and change while you are not playing it, making it all the more interesting and surprising when you log on again, never really knowing what your characters have been up to or if there are even still alive! You actually feel that they are real at times. Love this game, and it is great for all ages too!" - Cameron from Canada BC, 4.5/5 stars
"I absolutley love this game. So much in fact that I purchased it. The graphics are so cute and well done. I like the concept of solving the puzzles. I even pick out favorite lil villagers. I love the fact that you are required to think about how and why you purcahse skill points. And now there's a sequel! I'm buying that one as well. This game is definatley a must have." - RocketGal4 from Somewhere in IN USA, 5/5 stars
"At first this seems like a slow and pain staking adventure. However, once you have started your tiny village to survive and thrive, you are hooked. The villagers seem to come alive and you are involved with their daily lives. You even form a strong bond with each character. Hours of fun and very additive." - Christopher Devinn from Providence, RI USA, 5/5 stars
"This game is great for anyone who likes the Sims, SimCity, Civilization, Tycoon games or anything like that." - Amanda from Chicago, US, 5/5 stars
