12 Labours of Hercules X: Greed for Speed Reviews

Will a 64-bit version be made anytime soon?

I love it! It got challenges that will make you scratch your head.

Of all the games in this series, this is probably the one I have enjoyed the least.

Good all around Hercules game. If you like this series, you'll like this game. With that said, some levels are noticeably harder than others and feel out of place for this series. There's a small number of levels that I failed to beat after 6 or 7 tries which is unheard of for a Hercules game. Resorted to using the Guide and learned half the resources and upgrades in those level aren't even needed. Given the casual nature, those levels feel like a design over-site rather then an intentional decision to make them challenging.

I liked the previous games - Nice time wasters. This one is simply bad and overpriced. Level 2.8 - Have a portal next to your town, with two other portals around the map. One of those portals is right next to lumber, and close to a farm. There's a broken bridge inbetween and once you build that bridge, the game suddenly thinks "Oh, it must be faster to run across the map, rather than taking the nice portals back and forth". Once I got that figured out, it was pretty simple to get gold/beat the developer time. -100/10. Wouldn't buy this bundle even for someone I deeply hate.

I'm happy to report that the difficulty at the casual level has kicked it up a notch in this one! I've played all of them and easily got gold in all games except this one! Got silver and even bronze in a few of them. Not sure I'd pay full price for it, considering the content and price of the predecessors, but it's still just as solid as the previous games!

I've played the previous nine Hercules games and loved them all. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this one. I'm not sure what happened with this installment, but the design team totally dropped the ball. The level design on this installment of the franchise is absolutely horrible. The levels are very poorly designed, and even majorly flawed on a few of the levels. I'm very disappointed.

Having played 12 Labours of Hercules from the first one, I can honestly say I've enjoyed them all, loved seeing how things have been changed or tweaked with this one. I was a bit put off by the new design of the woodcutter hut, goldmine etc, but I think they work well, loving some of the puzzle pieces being hidden behind shrubs. A great challenge. Never want Hercules to end
