Had to bump this up.
Finally beat the whole game. All 3 Acts. The entire game is like one big movie. Seriously, they can truly make a movie out of this. Wow, simply incredible. Great plot. You get really involved with the game so much, that it's like you're part of it or watching a movie. At the end, a concluding movie clip that wraps it all up and the end credits. I breathed a sigh of relief. Truly a remarkable game. Here's the story:
Apparently, there's this Fountain of Youth hidden in the Americas somewhere long, long time ago. Is it real or is it just myth? The ancient ancestors before the colonial times set out to find this mysterious treasure from Europe to the Americas (South America, Cuba, all over the US trying to find this thing), the so-called Fountain of Youth. There were factions who want it too, for their own selfish gain of course. Betrayal, friendship, untimely allies are all part of this great adventure. Wow. You start from way back then and work through generations trying to uncover the truth until it is over. It was so neat to see the original explorers, then there children, their children's children, generation after generation trying to find this treasure. Great story line and even battled alongside George Washington as we got caught up with the revolutionary war. At the very end, what did they find? Well, it was a good ending...and felt really warm inside for the first time ever when it comes to game playing.
There were some really hard parts to the game, especially traveling through the blizzard. Died over and over again. I started out with like 20 people, then had only 2 survive at the end of that scene.
