I was so excited about this game when I found out it was released that I purchased it straight away from LDW.

upon which I proceeded to pay constant attention to it. I finished the game within 2 weeks and it really is a bad version of its predecessors,it takes longer to do anything in this game, you can only have a certain number of trees, so on and so forth.

all the while, watching my villagers starve because there's no way of getting food unless you get enough tech points, that are so hard to accumulate because the price of the tech is so high and the rate at which their earn, literally took them 90 plus virtual years. You will be disappointed with the game because you will realise that you've paid for a game that has no continuity once the puzzles are solved and they just keep having babies and fish and collect tech points but for what?


you can do nothing with them. unless you want to restart a village and solve the same puzzles over and over again, you're wasting your time as i did mine. I then requested that LDW return my money because there was a 30 day guarantee on it, I stated fully and clearly that i was disappointed with the game, upon which all the replies that i recieved from the software vendor accused me of lying, having no morals and then threatened me that they have "changed their policy as of yesterday"... refunds will no longer be available after 48 hours. yeah, whatever.


The guy at LDW was so darn cocky about his/her game that he was willing to promise a 30 day money back guarantee. after a few days of replies, i was so offended i told him to keep his money. i think LDW is run by children. not professional at all.

if you decide to purchase this game, you are funding the proliferation of a game which will never improve, because they think this game is the shindigs as it is.

I will let you read the replies from LDW, just PM me.

have you even played the first 2 games ?????
there are other things to do after you solve all of the
puzzles. you could try and do it in record time ,
or buying the techs in a different order. or try and get a tribe of all blondes, redheads or all dark haired.
it took me about 8/9 days to finish my first game.
i think that is fine for 19.95. i have payed that amount and finished some games in 2/3 days .

This is a game and a company that I really enjoy. I have a two year old and a full time job. I can take my time playing and enjoy my daughter at the same time. Life is all about how you see things. Try to find the good in life, it is there. Why did you buy the game? Did you try the demo first? You said you paid constant attention the first 2 weeks...you must have liked something about it. Anyway, I'm sorry that you feel this way. I personally can't help you with this. But are you certain that you and LDW didn't just have a miscommunication issue. In my line of work, that is usually what has happened when someone feels dissatisfied. I'm not implying that you are wrong, I'm only saying that sometimes when people try to communicate, each person may be seeing/thinking about the issues from various perceptions. Especially when someone is already upset about something in the first place. Maybe you can try to communicate with LDW again and try to work together to solve this issue.

You purchased the game, played it for two weeks, completed all the tasks. You want your money back because you are disappointed? Now, please, tell me where else you could have purchased two weeks worth of fun for twenty bucks? Be fair, if you hadn't liked the game you would have never played it that long. It sounds to me like you are disappointed that it was over. Start again, try a different approach. I've purchased and played all three VV games, and I love them. I play other games, these are nice because you can get up, walk away, and not get killed!

Don't you think that if you play again the fun is all gone? You already know how to do this and that.

If you played for two weeks, you should viewed a spoiler. It spoils the fun. I used spoilers for VV1 & VV2, but not going to use spoilers.

I believe ReneHoney was talking about VV3!!

I do agree with some of what she writes.

1. Accomplishing most tasks takes way too long..
2. Once the statue is done there's really no point in continuing, as all the puzzles are then solved.
3. Sure the graphics and all the cute little extras are visually pleasing and far superior to previous games. That doesn't, in my opinion, make the game any more entertaining.
4. Not as entertaining as VV1 & 2.

I can't complain about the company's service. In my opinion, LDW provides an excellent service. I've only ever know them to be courteous and helpful.

I haven't finished the game yet. But I should imagine, when it's finished there might be some dissapointment. But overall, It's not bad. Not as good as VV2 ( in my opinion ). But at the end of the day, it's just a game. Simply to entertain you.

I think your excitement is the problem. Many of the sequels and prequels to box office hits like Star Wars were harshly reviewed, largely due to unrealistically high, unattainable expectations, comparing them to the original. There is nothing wrong with VV3.

Well I got the game and played it for like 2 days and then have not played it no more. I find it not to be as fun as the other 2 games. Also it glitches alot so I just simply dont play it no more. To me it is just 20.00 but hey LDW worked hard on it and what I did play some I did like. As Tmac said also play it in diffrent ways, I now have a game I have not finished and one day I will finish it.
