i just bought the game tonight..and i luv all the little touchs i have found so far...like how the people drink, running away from the sharks, their individual likes and dislikes, how kids look for collectables and mushrooms...you guys really listened to what we asked for..its awesome!! Keep up the good work..i hope i will be buying VV100!!

I am glad to hear you are enjoying the game so much! I like the reef alot. The part about teenagers laying by the fire "unsure what to do' still cracks me up. Much more, but I'll let you get further in the game.

Have fun!

yes the reef is amazing...you click on the fish they run away..this is the only series of games that i have purchased every single one...hope there are more in the future

I love when someone gets "Nature is Calling," sprints to the side of the Alchemy Hut, and sits down!

When they float in the bath is cool as well

I like the chief being able to help the kids find collectables.It sure helps.

yeah i just got my chief...she was 6 yrs old..lol...

Thank you LDW, you have outdone yourself with VV3. I'm not finished with the game, so this is just for all the things I've seen so far. The graphics are wonderful, it is so different than the previous 2 games. I love the rain and thunder!! I live in a part of California where it hardly ever rains. I was born in an island where it rained all the time so everytime it rains on VV3, I wish I could just go inside the game and join the kids jumping and playing in it. Love the bath, although I would love to see the top six bowls lit with some kind of fire glowing in them. Love all the new faces and clothing. A separate place for doctors, scientists, love the stone huts, love the garden and the lift, an ampitheatre and the reef is just lovely! Bravo! Thank you, thank you!

Aside from the graphics, I love the actions of the peeps. The dances are hilarious. I saw one doing a John Travolta imitation of a disco dance. And then there were a few moon walkers. The sounds of the kids are great and funny. Some get so indignant when you lift them. The outfits for some of the girls are very much in keeping with the fashions of the day....short skirts and off the shoulder tops..lol. Even the men's clothes fit better than in the other games.

In fact, there is little I don't like, the exception being the length of time to do things.

oh yeah...the sounds some of the kids make are so funny....i have on adult though...when she doesnt want to do something...she flat out says "NO" w/ an attitude...makes me LOL

Beyond all the puzzles and awards, etc., dumping the men into the water is by far my most favorite thing to do.

My least favorite is hearing the adults go "HUNH???" everytime they're moved, while I LOVE hearing the children laugh.

Some of the villagers reactions to island events cracks me up too. Sadly, my villagers were stung by jellyfish (island event) but the way they jumped around...I couldn't help but lol!

i also like how the people recognise one another

I love the larger map, I love the choice between factions, I love the villagers actions and moves. I thought I would hate having a chief...yes, I am a little rebellious to authority...but I actually love the leader, especially teaching the kids and pointing out rare collectibles. Yep, that's alot of love for one post! More to come, I'm sure.

VV3 is the best one yet! I love the lushness of the island itself; more plants and vines and the little nooks and crannies that collectibles hide in! I am thrilled to death with the beautiful place for trainee doctors to study, so we don't have to drag them all over the island! I love the idea that the children breakdance, and the adults secretly practice their John Travolta moves while dancing! I love having the Chief, so someone can teach children, lecture adults, and make food! This game is much more polished than it's precursors. If I never finish it, it won't bother me, because there is alwys something else to do!

i also luv how some of the kids when they turn 14 automatically start working...not all but some...its helpful when you dont have to sit there and make them work..lol

ALSO, one of the potions made the villagers run around and do karate chops (not on each other). The action was: "blannesamagawa/oomajoobamooga!!" I still don't know what that means. lol were they high, delirious, or went incredible hulk? Hmmm...

I loooove that you can dress the kids and nursing moms!!!

I have'nt got sewing hut yet, but when i do & get lots of tech i will take them shopping (especially the females)..... Its every girls dream!!! lol Its great that mums & little ones can have a change in clothes too. I must admit though clothing is much nicer in VV3. jlb67

I get the giggles everytime a potion explode and they run away.

I like it when you make the children exercise by lifting rocks and running up and down the ramp with them. The hiccups are cute too.

I love that whenever you hold a villager above another the villager on the ground looks up. I like doing that with my Chief it's like "People Look Up to me!" "That's Cuz your in the aiR!!!"

I love EVERYTHING!!! These little guys are so funny, they crack me up!! I had a few with an attitude also, but I love it---it just gives them more personality. I love the graphics--simply beautiful! The weather is a great addition as well as a place to train the Dr's. My least favorite thing is there is no way to train the builders once everything has been built---sucks for the new generations. The childrens laughter is wonderful and uplifting as well as the Chief's affection when helping to find a collectible. Thanks---more than I can say for untold hours of enjoyment!!!

I wrote about things I think that could be better, in another thread. But, then suddenly I realized that, I wasn't being that much fair. Maybe LDW has spoiled me with these games too much. It has been quite a long time that I kept myself busy with a game so long, until I met vv series. Not only my tribes keep me busy, but they do it in a positive way. I mean, I'm not fighting or running for any sort of goal, not bombing any place or clicking madly until my mouse finger drops. I just sit in front of my computer, and watch my happy villagers working, or just skipping their work and having fun (just like me ). This game makes me smile while playing. So I just want to say thanks to everyone who worked so hard to prepare it .

Yeah, I thought that was really cool! I found that one out by accident. Was cruising around the screen, early in the game, looking for mushrooms. Happened to hit one of the spots where the fish were swimming, and they disappeared. Thought I was seeing things. Waited a moment, and tried again, and again. Then I had to show that to my daughter and my brother. Was so cool.

Yeah, but that attitude can get annoying when she tells you "no" many times in a row, and you REALLY need her to do what you're trying to get her to do.

I love the fact that the children will actually go LOOKING for mushrooms and collectibles. I've had them find some things on their own. That was cool.

Yeah, that's pretty funny. I had that happen, yesterday. Was trying to get the shark potion. It exploded and everyone started running out of the research area. I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I clicked on one. It said "Potion exploded. Running away!" I cracked up!

I thought the children just "look for mushrooms" or collectibles but don't actually get anything on their own, that the guiding hand has to put the child where the collectible is.

I have a tie for favorite. The first is the secretly doing a dance. The first one I noticed went behind the alchemy room over by the picture plant to do his dance. The second is when they enjoy the bath but are not in the bath. I'm not too crazy about the floating heads though. I prefer when you can see the whole body.

I found out that when they get the lunatic potion they will stop if dropped in the bath. That was nice.

I miss some of the clothes and hairstyles from from VV1 and VV2.
My favorite was always the curly blonde. My favorite dress was the purple one.

I love the things my villagers do when it rains; suddenly they all become crazy whenever it rains. I especially love to click on the first hut's door and drag away the villagers hiding there (while they're protesting 'Ha!??'). It's like they're playing hide and seek with me .

Hmmm...I like the improvements in gaining healing skills - that there's a place for them to train now and they seem more likely to become doctor's on their own.

I love that the chief can point out rare collectibles. I got my last 2 collectibles that way in less than a week. In VV2, it took me a over a month to get my last butterfly.

Other things...the potions do some interesting things, the overall look of the map (though the secret room takes up a lot of pretty much unused space), the weather is fantastic...probably have some other things I like, but those come to mind first.

Things I miss: totems, kids playing tag, user statistics (but not the leaderboard).

I like the fact the puzzles take more thought and you don't just breeze through them, it makes it more of a challenge. I like all the different attitudes of the people, they each seem to have a personality all their own. I have gotten my sister and my oldest son hooked on the game and we have a lot of fun discussing the interaction of the people in our tribes.

Keep up the good work LDW and I will keep buying your games. I have all three VV, PT and FT.

I love the leaves in the hair! haha...I don't know why but I do.

yeah the leaves are cute..and some have beads

How do you make the children do that, and what ramp?

With an exercise potion they will run up and down the ramp by the staute sometimes.

Which reminds me of another thing I love...villagers can exercise even after all stuctures and puzzles have been solved! Remember in VV2 after some of the huts were built?

im loving all the new faces and hair combos you can get...i know someone put together a list in VV2 has anyone done that for VV3 yet?

I love having a chief to lead my people.

I really like the new spaces for the hospital/doctors office much nicer than one in vv2, but as for the chief, early in the game kinda annoying. Mine must not be all that charismatic, i set her to direct work and come back... everyone leaves! So I keep taking her to get a shower, have to buy her some deoderant I think,

What can I say about what I love in VV3 and that's not already said?
I love all these!

I love the graphic! (it's already said, I know!!) the landscapes of the different shores of Isola are really beautiful, but the North shore's one is magnificent!!

And I love, when the Guiding Hand takes a villager for a walk… oops I mean a fly around the village, each time you fly above a villager he looks up!!

Did I mention that I love the bath...particularly the lavender water...flowers and burners? I do.

I particularly like it when they float on the bath or keep looking at the sky. Also when it rains, the mothers love to run away from rain.

I love the floating too...something about the villagers laying around, be it in the bath or by the fire, cracks me up.

i have a kid that sounds like a baby kitten, lot of them sound like squeakers, annoying after a while. i have the woman with the attitude, NO! as well,
really like the game, otherwise.

i luv all the new faces and hair combos..i keep discovering new ones each day..is awesome...just got a girl named itchy...she has curly brown hair in a pony tail..she is soo cute

I love the research area...as I am just now letting my tribe population grow I realize how much more convenient it is to train several villagers at once. In VV2 they would always 'get passed me' and go fishing or to the lagoon. But in VV3, one-way in & one-way out...much easier!

Yes, as I continue to play I keep finding new things I love about VV3!

When you are desparate for mushrooms and it begins to rain, it is so easy to find kids because they are playing in the puddles by the amphitheater. I don't know if it was planned to be this way...but it is very handy.

Also, when you have two kids carry a mushroom to the bin, by pausing and dropping two kids on one mushroom, does this count as two mushrooms toward the Fungus Among Us award?

It should. Doubling (Tripling, quadrupling) mushrooms is almost certainly a glitch, so I don't see why the programmers would go to the lengths of making sure that only one pickup counted to the award per mushroom spawned, when it seems that the behavior was not anticipated to begin with. Certainly it counts towards food, or tech points in the case of other collectibles.

I like the little kiddies the most - when they are building sandcastles, playing see-saw on the lift and snooping around the alchemy lab!

I particularly like it when the villagers jump off the wall into the bath. It looks so realistic. In VV2 it looked a little artificial when they jumped into the pond, but now they raise their arms and actually appear to jump.

I love that too, Arnie! Maybe in VV4 it'll continue to evolve into "Canonball!!!"

Another thing that's great...burying the dead! They are really on it in VV3! Not only is this great because it reduces the time the little skeletons are laying around but it helps finding a new chief when the previous one has passed. So far I've been lucky enough to have the new chief be one of the villagers walking to bury the bodies. Since the bodies are at the amphitheater, which is also nice not having them in work areas, it makes trying on the robe convenient.

I like the bath, it's my favorite feature.

I absolutely without a doubt adore my very first child chief. She is the icing on this delightful confection of a game.

What a lovely phrase, Meems!

Thank you Arnie, I did wax a bit poetic there and I have my game paused so she doesn't grow up overnight. Sigh...She reminds me so of my youngest who is seventeen going on thirty. Lol.
