Luitenant_Gruber 12 Labours of Hercules II: The Cretan Bull Review

Nice sequel to the original 12 Labours of Hercules. 12 Labours of Hercules is a cute and colourful little puzzle game. You must solve puzzles, repair roads and tools and vanquish foul beasts (mostly done after completing a certain puzzle that triggers some kind of trap) to progress. This sequel, 12 Labours of Hercules II: The Cretan Bull, is pretty much te same concept as the first game. This time however, Hercules is searching for the legendary Cretan Bull. The Bull has gone mad and Hercules needs to calm him down (in the original mythology Hercules would poke a spear in its brain, but this is a kids game). Once again, Hercules repairs structures, collects resources, activates shrines and clears the path to the next area/puzzle. The main differences with the first game are the extra Bonus levels that you can unlock and the shiny polished HD graphics, although for the untrained eye, the difference is not directly visible. The music is just as good as the first game and plays nicely in the background. I enjoyed this game just as much as the original 12 Labours of Hercules and would also recommend it for its low price.
