I purchased this game a few years ago and gave up in the beginning due to a map that is not transportable. God, what I big baby I was! Many, many games through the years I've become a better gamer and don't need my hand held so much. I really wish there were more historically significant games like this instead of the usual un-deads, trolls, haunted hotels, missing sisters, and fantasy ad infinitum. There are so many fans of the Templars (although in this game they are the bad guys-I prefer them to be the good guys), questing- especially for the Holy Grail. We need more games like this. Although this game is about 8 years old, the graphics, cut-aways, and all around atmosphere beats today's cookie-cutter shlock. The HOGs are challenging, you have to actually walk around the vicinity and experience it, hints very helpful-but not too much, puzzles are puzzling! Don't let the date on this game deter you- it is terrific!

What a blessing! You work so hard and live life day to day dreading the day that Christmas comes...yet again. We're either waiting for it or paying for it...Christmas- bah, humbug! This lovely game melted my cold heart. The graphics are vibrant and lush without being obnoxious (you all know that over-abundance of purple!). And nothing says Christmas like The Nutcracker Suite! The story is engaging and true to the ballet/opera- so you know the music track is like a nice warm wood fire! Everything flows and glows in this game, a lively adventure for all ages. Sure, the voice-overs may be just a tad over the top, but who cares? It's Christmas!!
I recommend this game!

What a delight! No goblins, specters, aliens, otherworldly incredibly boring creatures. This is a joy- especially at this time of year. And the sound track! Really?! The Nutcracker Suit?! FANTASTIC. What a welcome reprise from the usual blah, blah, blah. The graphics are so colorful and wonderful, puzzles and HOP's just challenging enough; I don't have children but this is definitely a game the whole family would thoroughly enjoy! And this old lady (who is a very well versed adventure gamer starting off in 1997 with Myst and has over 100 games on Big Fish) is very impressed! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
I recommend this game!
