12 Labours of Hercules IV: Mother Earth ---- BETA
Let me get this out of the way first and foremost.......
I LOVE
LOVE 
LOVE 
LOVE 
this game!!!!!
The gods are angry with Hercules and wanted to seek revenge, but there was a celebration for him first. Go figure.
Hercules drank 
and drank ..... and drank some more ..... during his party 
and, soon enough, a potion was poured into his cup 
without his knowledge. 
A year later, Hercules is so sick he can't get out of bed. 
The gods are very happy. But, Hercules rises to the occasion and off he goes to rebuild the kingdom which became a desert wasteland during his illness 
.
I have NEVER seen such amazing graphics in a "build it" type of game.
AMAZING! The music was a bit ....... well ........ sometimes it sounded like "countdown" 
music which bothered me since I was playing an untimed mode. The voice overs were the best yet in this game series.
3 difficulty modes: Relaxed (untimed - YAY
), Casual and Expert.
The gist the game is the same as previously in this series. Gather wood, gold and more. Put out fires -
watch
for the hydrant - rescue people 
- fix the pointer (sign) and leave that area to go to the next challenge. In the casual and expert modes, you can earn up to 3 gold stars , depending how well you do in each level. In all the modes, you have "bonuses" in the form of an extra man and extra resources. 
I was so enthralled with this game I wanted to stop playing and purchase it immediately! :rolling funny I had to remind myself that it was only a beta!
Now, THAT'S what I call a darn good beta! 
I was confused with the storyline
so it may not do well as a standalone game. It appears you may need to have purchased/played previous games to understand where this one starts. 
Otherwise, I was hooked! In fact, I've replayed the beta several times ...... and will probably replay it again and again until the game is actually released. 
Join me in rebuilding a deserted wasteland with Hercules and, always .......................
ENJOY!
Overall Impression: DO NOT let this gem get away!
