Updated review!

Developers, thank you so much for the update! The controls are tremendously improved and I was able to play the whole game! (Well, except for one small glitch with a missing page. I swear I had them all. I wont say more for fear of spoiling.) But with the help of some blessed hints and walkthroughs I was able to play to the end. Brilliant and beautiful. What a pleasure it was to experience Myst again after all these years! Its a wonderful, substantial, and challenging game with amazing graphics.... the best kind of game. Next stop, Riven.

Old review, pre update:

Ive been playing for over an hour and just cant get the hang of this navigation. Its awkward and clunky and Im totally frustrated with how hard it is to get where I want to go. If you dont approach something juuuuuust right, you have to back up and turn around and try all over again. Its just too hard to get around and this is really interfering with my enjoyment of the game. Im one of the ones who played Myst way back in the day on cds and loved it, but this version is nothing more than an exercise in frustration. Im happy for everyone who has played this iPad version and loved it, but apparently, Im not going to join their ranks. Its beautiful and haunting, but just too frustrating. I want to spend my time enjoying a game and solving a mystery, not struggling to navigate.

Developers - check out XON for a 3D game with elegant and intuitive controls. Can you make Myst more like that? Oh, that would make me so happy!
