Join Anna and the Professor as they travel the world in a race to find the seven Tears of Sekhmet! Anna has made her way to the heart of a hidden temple to find the source of Napolean`s downfall. After collecting crucial artifacts to end Nefertiti`s curse, she must now protect them from her stepbrother, who would love to use the power for evil! Curse of the Pharaoh: Tears of Sekhmet is a great Hidden Object game, full of wonder and excitement!REVIEW
Anna is back! What began in the previous Curse of the Pharaoh games - The Quest for Nefertiti and Napoleon's Secret - continues in Tears of Sekhmet. Anna is once again squaring off against her step-brother Will, who wants to control the power of the Curse as much as she wants to destroy it. It's a dangerous game she's playing, where no-one can be trusted and nothing is as simple as it seems.
This time around, she has to locate the seven Tears of Sekhmet, which have been hidden around the world. To reach each one, she'll have to search a wide variety of locations and use the items she finds to solve a number of puzzles. You'll be provided with a list of ten items for each hidden object sequence, which will likely include an item that you'll later use to solve a puzzle.
At least one item in virtually every scene is missing some key component that you'll replace with an item found somewhere else. Rejoining the pieces will sometimes open new locations or sometimes just clear the stage. The hidden object portions of Tears of Sekhmet are lovely, hand drawn art, but aren't terribly difficult. Far more satisfying are the game's many "find the difference" sections, which can be cunningly subtle. Though some differences are blatantly obvious, others are so nuanced and small that you can be staring right at them and still not realize something's off.
The items on your list aren't all you'll be looking for, though. You must also find the pieces of mask that have been hidden in each level, as well as three coins in each stage. They're usually extremely obvious and easy to find, which makes finding them feel more like game-padding busywork than a challenge. But Tears of Sekhment has other ways of messing with you, like filling the screen with water or flipping an image for a spot-the-difference level. Fortunately, you can buy helpful items in the store, like oxygen tanks and mirrors, to help you through the rough spots. Read more...
