I plan on buying the CE version of this game. I love the graphics and the storyline, play, and everything else about it. I will wait to get a second CE with it, so I can get a freebie. Great work!

Beautiful graphics galore, different types of HOPs--from find and assemble 3 parts of one item, to siliouhets, "regular" HOP and interactive ones. Tho the voice/mouth sync is lacking, it's pretty much the only bad thing I can say bad about the game.
I love the fact that you aren't just stuck with one animal helper--as you go thru, you get a new one per area. A swallow first, then an otter...after that, I don't know, as I'm not done #and restarted it already so that I'll remember to look for the hidden emblems!#
Wish there were more collectables and a scene where you can collect coins or whatever in order to "fix up" said room.
All in all, LOVE this game, and will play it many times over the year. Well done, to the developers and BF for offering it.
One of the Best HOS I've seen since MCF'sReturn to Ravenhurst

The story is gripping, deeply involving, and a bit moving, even. The Graphics are great--not the very best I've seen but great nonetheless.
The combo of hos scene types makes me happy...I like it when you split from just the list of stuff you have to find to "find 12 things that are related" or "25 pins", to finding parts of objects that you have to put together to then use to get the next...and so on. Ya'll know what I mean...this is a great combo of them.
The puzzles I have found quite challenging, to the point of having to skip them on way to many occasions. Sometimes because I know I'll never get it, and sometimes because it's a puzzle type I hate--the sliders and hooking up pipes types are 2 of my banes.
Fun? Oh yes...and creepy. Who's the dude in the basement cell? I haven't finished the game yet, and don't remember the first one #I've just downloaded it to play, the non CE one# but I've a bet its the person the character has been chasing. Maybe no.
The collectables are actually quite challenging to find...not so much the butterflies, but the morphings. Because you have to click them at just the right moment.
All in all, I'm enjoying the game, and would recommend it to anyone who adores absorbing stories in their HOS.

LENGTH: I'm a fast player on most of these games (except 'MCF Return To Ravenhurst' of course) and this one, had I played it strait through, would have taken around 23 hours of play to do. I'm glad, as it was nice and relaxing!! I played it on EASY mode (always do, first time thru).
FUN FACTOR--as always, HO games are addictive. The scenes were nicely jumbled, and I liked the fact that you had the normal HO scenes mixed with finding the matching silhouettes. The puzzles where somewhat easy, but nice.
GRAPHICS: Beautiful, not as good as some, but better than many!
STORY--interesting, and I loved the magic animals in it. I kept forgetting to use them, then would do a "d'oh" when I hit HINT. *L*
As with Eternal Journey, New Atlantis, where the 'rooms' where the hidden datascreens were marked on the map, this game (the CE, anyway, dunno about the regular version) marks where the morphing objects are. For me, that's kind of a spoiler, but you can always ignore the map and try to find them yourself it it bugs you!
OVERALL--I would recommend this to any HO player, and hope y'all agree!!
Travel from the deepest trenches of the Atlantic Ocean to the awe-inspiring wonders of Mars as you solve the greatest archeological puzzle known to man: the origin of Atlantis.
Good graphics and sound, but the main thing for ME was the storyline. It really is brilliant--I've played the thing through twice, and will play it many other times, I'm sure.
On a cute factor, LOVE Marci the cat...at least you aren't alone down there with all those bugs!!
