The Good
- Fun premise based around a treasure hunt on a tropical island
- nice variety of activities from sailing to diving to caving
- ability to play as George for the first time
- solid sound work
- lengthy game time.
The Bad
- Still no 360-degree panning
- quite a few repetitive, make-work puzzles
- full of annoying animals that have to be bribed, beaten at their own game, or studiously avoided.
Our Verdict
Good
A solid adventure that is generally enjoyable, though it lacks enough polish or ambition to recommend without caution.
Like a working vacation without the sunburn, Ransom of the Seven Ships is a solid entry in the series thanks to a well-developed story with a wide variety of puzzles, although a few too many rely heavily on repetition and hand-eye coordination.
