For those who haven't heard, Myst is an interactive game world set on a lush island that poses problems to solve; as you learn more about the world you're in, more locations open up to you, and ultimately, exploration becomes an end in itself. Imagine that--a wildly fun, addictive computer game without killing or tedious competition.
Millions of people snapped up the original Myst and spent hours discovering the intricate secrets of this new world, and the update will appeal to them as much as to the first-timer. Besides the improvements to the look and feel of the game, there is a new DigitalGuide that provides hints to the terminally stuck--very nice for that one puzzle that refuses to bow to your superior mind.
Completing the package is Myst: The Book of Atrus, a "prequel" novel to the game written by designers Rand and Robyn Miller with David Wingrove. This fascinating fantasy explores and explains much of the background underlying the world they created, and will appeal most to those who have played for a few hours. Whether you've never experienced the richness of Myst or you want to dive back in, the Masterpiece Edition will take you somewhere new. --Rob Lightner

Customer Reviews of Myst: Masterpiece Edition
"the name of the game is the same" a famous quote(too bad i forgot the author), but the meaning hits home. a fancy-dancy box combined with a fancy-dancy name gives us the "masterpiece" edition. digitally remastered this, digitally remastered that(yada yada yada). after i saved the princess, the game was considered over (oops wrong game) but i think you can see the comparitive logic. this game is only recommended for somone that never played myst before, i mean, how many times can you solve a puzzle if you already know the solution ?? double check your computers system limits and options before loading the disc....as the myst series evolved, so did the hint books. thats a shame, a game shouldnt rely on "hint books". a game shouldnt have to be spoon fed to me.
Muyyst Masterpiece Edition
A great new update to original Muyyst. Better than the King of the Hill arcade game or the stupid show!
It's a-ight.

<
>It lost a star for several reasons:
<
>1. Almost killing my crappy computer.
<
>2. The bad acting (I know they probably couldn't afford the best and Achenar/Atrus weren't that bad, but Sirrus- yeesh!) and weird mid-Atlantic, pseudo-British accents.
<
>3. Installing AOL on my computer.
<
>4. Having a twist that you could see from a thousand miles away. But maybe you are supposed to see it from a thousand miles away.
<
>5. The brothers' endings were really corny and didn't really reflect their personalities. *SPOILER* It seems like Achenar would rip out a page and burn it in front of you before torching the library and Sirrus would say "Thank you. Unfortunately, I have to make sure there's no way that you can threaten me," before taking the books to the furnace.
<
>*END SPOILER*
<
>6. Not a lot of replay value unless you just want to look at the pretty landscapes.
<
>So, except for #1, nitpicks, really.

<
>I liked how technically, you could beat the game in about 5 minutes. Very "Wizard of Oz" and it added that extra touch of realism since you didn't have to explore anything, the gameplay was more like a bonus.
<

<
>I liked the real ending. It didn't really bother me that it was just a shill for Riven, which is weird for me. I liked that you don't get some kind of reward except the ability to explore the Myst worlds because how hollow would that be? The game has themes of the evils of greed and lust for power. How are you supposed to be rewarded? Money? Power? A high score? Come on. The point of the game is to explore and discover. Having a traditional ending would likewise mess up the game.

<
>I thought the graphics were okay especially when you consider that this game was made what, 15 years ago? But I don't play a lot of software games so I have low standards. It certainly didn't feel like a slideshow.
<

<
>I liked how the game was kid-safe yet wasn't dumbed down or cutesy. I don't mind violence, swearing, or sex in video games but it's nice to have the anti-Grand Theft Auto. Oh yeah, the hints were good too. They really made the game playable for people not used to this type of game.

>Summary:
<
>A good kid-safe game for non-gamers who want a puzzle, but you might have to fiddle with your computer to get the game to work.
