The game has voice over and good music. Great graphics. Has a good flow to it. You have achievements to get. HOS are good and the puzzles are pretty good and interesting.
There is some running around but normal now days in today's games.
I recommend this game!

Graphics are good
No hint button in this game. The directions to me were a little confusing at first. Lots of reading to do at the beginning and at the end of each segment.
Pretty much a kids game and they may not get it without adult help. Cute game just not that great on directions for the younger crowd. Lots to do and get for money and food but and running around to get it but was not what was needed at the time. I think it may be to hard for a child to play and get the achievements with out help.
I don't recommend this game.

Not a bad game. Some flaws. The skip button is really slow. Some of the puzzles are are easy and some are not because there is no real directions on what to do.
The HOS are quite easy. You do keep going back to the same one so you know where everything is. Good music and graphics. No voice over.
Good flow. You do go back and forth but all the games do now. Good game and worth playing.
I recommend this game!

This is a kids game pretty much. Fun to play. Like bejeweled.
No voice over so there is a little reading to do. You get points for scoring in a good time. There are different levels to advance to but the game is still matching at least 3 faces. The graphics are pretty good and the music does not distract from the game. No HOS or puzzles.
Just a fun game to keep you busy.
I recommend this game!

They sure missed the mark on this one.
The music was ok but the graphics were not up to par.
Not a good into at all and a confusing beginning on what is going on with the plot of the game.
You have to find the the book that has a poem in it to give you info.
The HOS are poor and not large scenes. They are non interactive lists and you repeat them sometimes. The puzzles are different and not fun and full of riddles which I'm not good at. And skipping them give to a time penalty.
There are MORPHING OBJECTS to collect as well, but NO other ACHIEVEMENTS.
Not a good flow either.
I will not buy.
I don't recommend this game.

The graphics are ok could be better. Music and voice over ok. Lots of dialogue to listen too.
The HOS are different and the puzzles are not hard.
HAs a map
you get collectibles so you can go and get coins to buy things to use thought the game.
Has achievements which makes you feel good.
Has a magic wand to use and help.
Not sure who they geared this game to, kids or adults. Not a bad game but I'll pass on buying it.
I recommend this game!

None of the chronicles have done all the great. Fun games just lack the great quality.
Has voice over, good music. The graphics are good just not crisp.
Has a map that will take you to where you need to go.
Hint button works good and fairly fast.
3 modes of play.
The HOS are different in you have to find items to put together your item to use. They are not hard.
The puzzles are quite easy also. some may give you a challenge but most are easy.
Lots of clicking to do in this one just to find things.
There is not a real good flow to this game to me. Lots of running back and forth.
All in all not a bad game just the love chronicles have never been a great game. They need to play some ERS games to find out how to improve these games.
There is an adventure here just lacking the wow factor.
I recommend this game!

I have played all the dark tales and this one is also good. Seems like ERS is putting out lots of games lately and I have notice that they are getting to be the same. Saying that it is still good game. Graphics and voice over is good along with the music. They seem to be getting less of a challenge for me. Maybe I'm betting better. Just seems like you need less help. The HOS are good and they are also changing into interactive ones now.
Hint button works good. Good game and worth the money.
Good flow to the game.
I recommend this game!

This one is ok. To much talking. At least it did have voice over but a little to much. The HOS were very hard because of the dull screen and small objects to find. The puzzles were ok. Lots going on and have to go from one area to another just to not find things needed. Have 2 sets of item board which was a little confusing to me. The other newer game is a lit better.
I recommend this game!

A very enjoyable game. The puzzles were nicely done in that for the most part not too impossibly. The skip button charged up fairly quickly. You may not need it though.
Not too much back and forth and the map has a one click navigation feature so that saved some time to get from one area to another.
The HOS were good and not hard. The puzzles were ok. Had a good flow to the game.
Has voice over.
Has an achievement system so you get rewarded for things.
Good game give it a try.
I recommend this game!
