New Kindle Game - Hidden Expeditions: Amazon

Hidden Expedition: Amazon ($4.99), by Big Fish Games, which was briefly (and mistakenly) free in the Kindle store, has now been officially released and is available to all. Or, at least all in the US, who have a physical Kindle, of the proper version (just like all the Active Content for Kindle). The graphics are like nothing you've seen before with Kindle games and you end up using the five-way controller quite a bit (or, I did), but the game plays well for gray-scale eInk (I've played several hidden object games on full color monitors and the difficulty in finding the objects seems about the same).

Game Description
Hidden Expedition: Amazon is a hidden object game set deep in the jungle.

Featuring a story never before told in the Hidden Expedition franchise, you join the Hidden Expedition Team in search of a professor lost in the Amazon rainforest. You get to explore cities, temples, and ruins while unlocking the secrets of the professor?s groundbreaking research. With a tattered passport as your only clue, embark on an adventure and investigate 19 beautiful levels and 4 brain teasing mini-games.

You can invite up to 3 your friends and family to create their own profiles so they can play without disturbing your own adventure. Take advantage of the dynamic Hint system whenever your search becomes too difficult. Enjoy a scene? Replay any level as many times as you wish with the Chapter Select feature and pursue randomly selected items in that scene.

If you seek adventure, lush landscapes, and a good challenge, journey into the wonderful world of Hidden Expedition: Amazon.
