The Game:

Following the adventures from the previous two games, Hero is now the Chieftain of Tapa-tui island. Help Hero establish trade with the nearby island of Mata-fiki and bring fortune to his community!

We knew we were in for a great treat right from the start when the game started off with a great introduction. The introduction perfectly captured the main details we need to know to grasp the story in this third game – it is filled with humor and memorable characters so that you would never get bored.

Moai 3: Trade Mission also has amazing production values. Firstly, in terms of the Time Management genre, Moai 3 probably featured some of the very best graphics. The characters are smoothly animated and the environment is attractively three-dimensional. The cheery and upbeat music, along with the delightful sound effects also enhances the experience.

When it comes to game play, Moai 3: Trade Mission does not stray far from the traditional resource-management game play. In fact, we wish the developer would have taken some more risks with the game play. Nonetheless, Moai 3 offers an incredibly entertaining game play with some honestly challenging levels, two modes of game play that you can switch around at all time (Timed and Untimed) and helpful power-ups. One unique feature is the Artifacts; there are 24 artifacts to collect in total and each has its own power that would help with your tasks-completion, you can choose to equip a handful of them at the beginning of each level.

Moreover, the game comes with over 40 standard levels, You can replay each level as a Challenge Level once you have completed it once, the Challenge Levels are much harder and require more strategic planning. The Collector’s Edition includes extra thirteen levels, and of course, thirteen more challenge levels. Other features in bonus section are a useful strategy guide, wallpapers, achievements, collectibles, soundtracks and character’s biographies.

Conclusion:

Moai III: Trade Mission is a well constructed game with excellent game play mechanics. As with most TM game sof this type you’ll have several tasks to complete to finish a level. Also, there’s loads of achievments available over the 40 or so levels you get with this game. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but each level can be replayed as a challenge level, so you’ll find many hours of fun playing this game. I’m not a TM game enthusiast, but I did find this one mildly entertaining compared to others of this sub genre.

Problems getting the game to work:

If you're having problems installing or activating or getting Moai III: Trade Mission to work please visit the FAQ's Thread HERE and read through the communities comments because sometimes fixes have already been posted, for example, a common issue seen since the Themida wrapper was introduced three years ago is that some community members installation of the game are blocked by their security because Themida code has been known to hide malware, (usually an error message is flagged for example 'The executable is corrupted' even though in reality it is not); so as a precaution some anti malware programs will block and even delete the suspect installation files even though the files (i.e the setup, read me and setup.gcd files are actually totally free from malware. This issue can be solved either by rebooting your computer in safe mode with networking or a quicker method is to temporarily turn off your security software to allow the installation. You could also try whitelisting the setup.gcd file. In the almost 11 years this game giveaway site has been operating there has 'never' been a game given away that was infected with malware.
