Save a group of children and help them survive on the west shore of the island of Isola.

Virtual Villagers offers you the chance to develop the skill sets of each and every one of your tribe members, as they grow up and become older. Each tribe member has his own character and what he likes and dislikes. You will have to make the best of all of them to make sure the whole tribe survives and becomes stronger. Throughout the game you will also be presented with a number of puzzles to solve, which will ultimately explain who the lost children are and where they come from. Winning tech points will improve all your various skills (leadership, restoration, alchemy, medicine and science).

If you are a big fan of simulation games, particularly The Sims series, you will probably like this game. However, although the game offers enough help, the lack of clear objectives at the beginning might put off some users. You will need a bit of patience before your tribe really starts developing. Also, although the setting is different, you'll find the game is very similar to other chapters.

Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children is faithful to other iterations of the series: good graphics, lots of puzzles and control over a number of characters. A fun and exotic simulation game!
