Rating: Summary: The best PC game! Review: I am a vetran RPG player, and I must say this is one heck of a game.There is violance but is at a healthy level.My only complaint is the saving system.You can save only when you see a lectern. This can get very annoying.Hype has stunning graphics (bosses are cool)and nice sound.Some puzzels may be hard for young ones but it will still be tons of fun.The magic spells are my favorite.they look cool.There isn't too many or too little.The new armor you can get is cool and the final sword you get is awesome .A must have for any PC owner!

Rating: Summary: Hype, a healthy game for kids (and more) Review: I first played Hype on the PC of a relative and now, even at 28, I bought the game! The one thing about this game I like the most, it is "healthy". There is an amazing storyline on one hand and on the other, there is a fair balance between problem solving (great puzzles by the way) and fights. The level of violence is fine, Hype never kills anyone, enemies faint when they die and never the player can uses unnecessary brutality. Nevertheless, combats are fun. Graphics and music are also way below average. Let's face it, it is not exactly Zelda as they mentioned one hundred time on the box but at the third of the price, it is well worth it.
Rating: Summary: Very poor support Review: I purchased Hype for my son but it would not run properly on our PC, so he never got to play it. I tried phoning the toll-free number provided in the manual, but it played a message giving a long distance number to call for support. I also tried the Ubisoft web page. There was very little information available, and nothing that helped me with the issue I was having. I tried sending email to tech support but never received a reply. I finally decided to give up and returned the game. I will certainly avoid purchasing software from Ubisoft in the future.

Rating: Summary: The best game Review: This game is challenging and funny adventure. It makes you want to play it everyday. The spells have great graphics and it has a good story. It's like a Baldur's Gate and Diablo game for kids.
Rating: Summary: You won't be disappointed! Review: This game is great, my family and I are having a lot of fun playing it. It's graphically stunning and the voices are pretty good too. The gameplay is really easy to handle but it will challenge you enough even if you're a gamer. And last but not least, action but no violence. I think this game will stand as a reference for a long time.
Rating: Summary: The best PC game! Review: This game was the best that I have ever played. It was challenging, but not to hard so I wouldn't understand it. The scenerey is beautiful, and the sound is lovely. It does have some fighting, but it is not too hard. The only bad thing about this game is that once you beat it, it is not that fun to play anymore. I hope ubisoft comes out with another hype game cuz I loved this one.
Rating: Summary: Whoa! I almost cried when I reached the end! Review: This was the first computer action game I had ever played and it was truly an inspiration to try some others. 'Hype - The Time Quest' is based off the Playmobil Castle, a classic toy I happen to own and I have to say the UbiSoft game developers did a magnificent job of bringing a very detailed Playmobil medieval world to life, just like they had previously done on the also fantastic 'Laura's Happy Adventures.'
Hype, a yound warrior has been sent two hundred years in the past after attempting to defend his land and his king from the evil Black Knight Barnak, now Hype must rely on his strength, his skills and his new friends to return to his time, the Era of Taskan IV and set things right once again, this adventure is certainly going to have surprises, you will certainly create "memories" while playing it that will undoubtedly ask you to play it again.
The game has superb-graphics, the action is nicely detailed and the characters' movements are really believable adding to the charm of the game, 'Hype' is a much longer, serious and dark game than it's precedetors "Laura's Happy Adventures" and the kiddie "Alex Builds His Farm." The game is exciting, challenging and filled with fun puzzles and objectives.
The music adds a lot of pleasant atmosphere, very well crafted and carefully added to different game-play situations, scary music is also well added to the "creepy parts." Wildlife sounds and even a few wandering animals are all around, making the game feel more realistic. Different time periods bring different atmospheres, the Night era of Taskan II is breathtaking, look at that beautiful night sky and that big, round moon over the little town's roofs! Outstanding! Of course, like all good things, especially video games, they must come to an end and as soon as you reach that closing video, you'll be brethless thinking "I... I can't believe it is over... No more? I could go on forever!"
Overall, in the two years I've had this game I've played it through completion twice. It is definitely something you will treasure, for it will bring a lot of hours of fun to you and your family. A winner!
Rating: Summary: The best game Review: Though a little scary for my 7-year old daughter (who only likes to play while I'm in the room with her)...this is a wonderful game. No blood or gore, but bats...ghosts...skeletons...and of course, the Black Knight! The music and scenery are engaging. Amazingly, these little plastic Playmobil characters really seem to come alive in this game. Hours of fun...a very well-conceived theme. My daughters also LOVE Playmobil's Laura's Happy Adventures. I hope more of these great family games are around the corner!!
