A Fairy Tale Review



A Fairy Tale is a delightful Mac game to play. It is different from other Mac games because the play is not a straight match swapping or sliding game. You do match colors but they do not have to be next to each other.
The game is simple to pick up through the step-by-step tutorial given by an elder elf. The object is to match the flipped tile or a group of tiles to the same color and symbol any where on the board. The bigger the groupings of tiles the bigger your score will be and faster you complete the level. If a gem appears and you find a pick, match the 2 pieces so you get the gem. Your total gem score is shown to the right. Also when you see the 2 faces of the elder and they are lit up, you can match them for a tremendous power-up. With the connected bombs make matches under them and they will light up and you can match the 2 for an explosion.
Some of the blocks in this game are the flowers you need to match a flower embedded tile to cause the blossoms to fall down, and the fairies in cobwebs. The only way to free them is to match tiles all around the web. This game is timed and you have only 3 lives. When your time is getting close to expiring a fairy floats down and gently reminds you to get a move on or else lose a life.
The bonus games start off easy but increase in difficulty as the levels get higher. The tiles show you where the fairies are located and after it is flipped, you are to find where they are. This is a form of a memory game.
A Fairy Tale also has a very intricate story line about fairies and their quest to fight evil. This is not always easy for the 3 young elves who are given only a bottle and a staff and are told to go seek the Tree of Wisdom. This is all told in a comic strip mode and is very amusing since the tree really had no clue to what they wanted.
This Mac game is a relaxing and fun play when you are in the mood to just be entertained. The music is soothing and aids in the play even though it is timed, you do not feel rushed. The graphics are colorful and good. A Fairy Tale is an excellent game for the whole family to discover the outcome of the 3 fairies.
