95% of important stuff skipped
So apparently this version of the game skips about 95% of the content from the PC version. Missed dialogues, interactions and more. The game makes no sense to me and this is the only version I have played (googled a guide from gameboomers to see if I missed some stuff. Turns out I missed the whole story :/)

Atlantis 3
Boring! The app store needs more games like The Room 1&2, The Haunt all versions. Getting bored with what is offered. Time for more games that adults will enjoy.
another mediocre adaptation for ios
I really wish the Microid games were more thoroughly adapted from the PC versions. But all the iOS Microid games I've played have been seriously truncated. This is no exception. Entire puzzles are missing, or have simply become a cut-out scene. The resulting game play feels far too easy. It probably won't disappoint if you didn't play it on PC, but if you did, prepare to feel short-changed. That said, and despite it being too short, it's still an okay adventure game. And I'd much rather these classic games were adapted than not, so three stars here. Please, do the very first Atlantis next, and don't skip anything!

Worth the money!!
I played this on the PC when it first came out and let me say it transferred over so well onto the iPhone! I didn't have a problem with it skipping scenes or puzzles. I enjoyed this when I played it years ago and I enjoyed it now.
Pointless for iPhone
This game may be enjoyable on PC, but does NOT translate well to iPhone; several story lines and multiple puzzles are missing or skip for no reason, poor graphics during interactive play, and absolutely ALL items to retrieve/use are highlighted for you. Just following a path of highlighted items is not equivalent to PLAYING a game. In the end, iPhone adaptation of Atlantis III is jagged, short, and boring. Not worth even a couple bucks.

What do I do
I'm lost at the the second part of the doors i tried all the doors and they don't work. The beginning was awesome then I got mad when you have to do the first part over and over again just to figure it out what the point in the second part.
Also stuck
I am also stuck in the part with the dolphin. It tells me to take the spear thrower and kill the mammoth. Where is this spear? I can't figure out how to get back to the cave.....
Good game
Unlike a previous reviewer I like the graphics, though not the Near-East type world they create at the beginning of the game. Fortunately that world is left behind soon. Judging this game by comparing it to most games out there, I'm giving it five stars. I love this type of straightforward, gimmickless adventure game, and the occasional humor was nice. But I got spoiled by some of the other Microids games out there, such as the two Dracula games and Amerzone, and this one seemed a bit more choppy and less consistent, probably because it contained more worlds. I may also have a bias toward dark, Dracula-type themes. But I'll gladly replay this game before I play another silly hidden objects game.
SPOILERS
If you're still wandering in the hills, look for a cave. If you have no stick to make a fire, it's because you haven't found the right stick yet. If the two sages don't answer your questions, it's because you haven't approached them in the right order. ("Come child" means come ask ME the next question.) If you want to win this game, don't just look straight ahead, look all around you, including the ground.

I'm stuck! Help!
I'm inside the skull, I listen to the dolphin, when I work through the corridors the old lady says "no, not
Now". I can't get back off the island where the ship is, I can't go forward, am I missing something?

Is this a joke?
Am i missing something? The sample images look great. The reviews are good. Honestly, i cannot even tell what is going on, because the graphics are so bad. The scenes look like they were made for iphone and stretched to the ipad screen. Actually, made for iphone would be good. They look like they were made for a 1998'ish "smartphone" (you know, the ones that only run almost-color versions of pong. It is horrible. Its almost worth buying just to get a look at how ugly it is. Like buying tickets to see the elephant man at a freakshow. This has to be the worste game ever made. The audio is dreadful at best. The music drowns out what talking there is. The scenes look so much alike, ou cant even tell whats going on. Did i mention the graphics were terrible? Pardon me whilst i pluck out my own eyes...

Good game!
It's a beautiful game. The story is pretty interesting. The game is a little challenging, but I didn't find it too difficult. The reason I didn't give is five stars is it was kind of short. And, I would have liked it to have had fewer cut scenes, more game play and more interaction with the game. All in all it's a fun game.

Wow!! Incredible and Exquisite
One of the very best. Extraordinarily imaginative.
Great game...but...
I love the game but I'm stuck. There is no stick in my inventory to start the fire in the cave. Please fix this!!
Ok
So far I can't figure out what to do I am at the beginning in the dessert. I also don't really like how the arrows work you should be able to walk were you want because everything looks the same and u need hints to no how to do things.
