I think we all have been spoiled with some of the most wonderful graphics, scenery and HOS that when this game came along it was a bit of a shock. Once i got use to the graphics it wasn't so bad. The music did suit the part and the mini games could definitely have been better. The story is what made the game, i found it quite interesting. I was able to play the game without using the hint button so therefore i did not need to hear the cat's meow.
I recommend this game!

Beautifully done game but made a little to easy. The graphics were very clear and so were the HOS, they were wonderfully colored and neat. The mini games were easy as well but enjoyable. The music was fine when there was some, most of the time there were background sounds. I did wish to express and ask was it necessary to have a nude picture of a male and female which hung by the fire place in the Lancing Quarters in the HOS?? I have children who love the games, but do not need to be taught in this manner.. Lets keep the games clean!!
I recommend this game!

Extremely well done, and with so much feeling. As i drifted along with the game which has so much to offer, i found myself deeply involved into the story from beginning to end. The music which was played throughout the game helped put me in the mood and there were many moments where i felt the characters pain and sadness. If i can be moved by this game then the producer's did a fantastic job. Thank you BF

I felt the story fell rather short. It was to my opinion dull because there was no feeling behind it.. It's just lacking that certain something. This then will be my second game that i really didn't care for. {not bad considering all the games that have been put out.} The only thing i did enjoy was the visual AND the music. It might be fine for you, but no thank for me. Because we all like a variety of different games i'm going to have to say that i will recommend it, but only for that reason.

This is truly a wonderful game. The scenes were done with the real characters, a very nice switch. The story is nicely put together and the music suits the theme. Some of their scenes were a little messy but surprisingly it was not difficult to find the items. This is a bonus. There
are achievements to be had, and they are easy enough to get, which is also a nice treat. In the options they have 3 modes as well as Gamma and Graphics, this is nice for people who have as i say a stubborn computer. The mini games were fun to do and some took a little effort. I did find though that they could have explained the rules a bit better. This way i would not need to go into their walkthrough to find out what it is that they wanted you to do. I was truly absorbed into the game to the end and i loved every minute of it. I love these type of games, spooky one's, and the haunting games because it gets me so absorbed into the game itself. This is a great game and beautifully done.

This game has the most beautiful graphics that have ever seen, sharp and clear, mmm, what a joy to look at . The voice over is excellent and so is this true event that took place in London. But Be warned, the game is very hard to do with not to much instructions. As you struggle along the way and yes i got frustrated at times because you really have use the old noggin and figure things out. This is when the map comes in handy. Yes it comes with a simple walkthrough. I say simple, meaning to the point and with no visual interactive so one can see how it is done. Nope just to the point. Regardless, it is a well made up game and frustrated or not i would buy it again because it truly is absolutely gorgeous to look at and to be able to learn a few things that i didn't even know of.

In this game you will find that it has 3 modes. Casual, Expert and Hardcore. It also features Achievements Award. The voice over wasexcellent and the music was okay. It does have a penalty click and get face Shadow. The game itself was beautifully done almost picturesque. There is a question mark and it will help you in need as well a a check mark which will tell you what needs to be done or where to go. There is a map but seldom used. There was about 3 HOS and the rest was all kinds of different ways to find the items needed in the game. The walkthrough was pretty much play as you go, so when needed one did not need to look far for help. The story took awhile to get going and it was okay. I loved the characters that were in this game. The game itself was more like a fairy tale as well as the scenic views. Mini games, mmm, mmm, lot's which is okay with me because i love them. Most were easy and a few of them were hard. The bonus i could not tell you because i ran into a glitch and i could not get the poker needed to take the rope off of the dog and this abruptly ended my game, i could not continue the game. Sooo, I'll have to do it all over again which is fine by me, for now i get a chance to do it in hardcore and end up with my reward. All in all i enjoyed the game very much and i am glad that i bought it.

Where to start. This game was done with a lot of thought. One definitely needs to get the Collector's Edition because it adds a little extra to the game itself. I bet there is going to be a part 2 to this game.
Well the game itself has 2 options in game play, Regular and Expert, i choose Regular. The voice over was tremendously well done. One can actually look around because the voice over will not continue untill you press next, nice choice i think. One also has time to read the verbal without disappearing so quickly. The HOS were cleverly hidden and sometimes a little too hard. The story was done extremely well and i was right into it throughout the whole game. Nice. I did find that in some of the HOS that i needed to click a couple of times on the same object before i got a response. Luckily there is no penalty for clicking. The music fit the game, and some i must say was rather enjoyable to listen to. In the bonus game, i had a problem finding the bones but i backtracked till i found it and was able to complete the game. Over all this is one great game and worth every penny and i simply loved it.

Well i am 45 minutes into the game, it defiantly piqued my interest. I did find that HOS were rather messy. The one mini game was intriguing. As i was exiting there was another cut scene and it was very interesing which added to the cause to wanting to buy this game. The story so far is very intresting as i am sure that it will be to the end. There are two modes to play in and the voice over sounded fine from what i heard.
I recommend this game!

I ho hummed and ho hummed and finally decided to buy the game. I am glad that i did. The graphics are remarkable as the visual concept are outstanding. The cut scenes are equally impressive. Loved the music and found it suited the game and pleasing to listen to. Some HOS were a little difficult as were their Mini games and it is hardto collect all of the awards. But over all the game was a challenge and
it never get's boring. If you asked me, would i buy it again? My answer would be definitely.
