Extremely lackluster.
The big fuss that the Poptropica blog made about the app made me think that when I spent my $4, I would be getting an experience comparable to the wonderful original PC game. Needless to say I was very wrong. The graphics and scenery bore me to death; they are so basic and obviously borrowed from real islands that I cant play it for more than about 10 minutes. Also, even EARLY FREAKIN POPTROPICA had gameplay that took strategic thinking and creativity- and of course Poptropicas shameless allusions to movies, pop culture, etc. In Forgotten Islands, its nothing but fetch quest after fetch quest. No strategic thinking AT ALL. Please, for the sake of money that could be spent buying your favorite songs over at the iTunes Store, dont get this app until some HUGE changes are made. App adaptations like this one are what the original game is for. PLAY IT.
