Really enjoyed this game. The puzzles were slightly different than I have seen before. Only critique is that the maps don't allow you to go from realm to realm, and I did not feel the Extra Bonus chapter was worth the additional $$ fora Collectors edition.
I loved this game. There were so many different scenes and games, and the graphics were crisp. I loved that it was so long. Also really enjoyed the variety of HOGs and (different types).

Really enjoyed playing this game from start to finish. Glad there was a map later in the game for hopping from spot to spot. Lots of scenes and locations.

I found that I never knew what the objectives were, and the elixir recipes were ambiguous, All in all - this left me confused and I didn't really enjoy the game play. Too bad - it is nice to see a new game, but I felt like I blundered into understanding the goals only by accident.

Really enjoyed this one. Yes, as some reviewers have pointed out, some of the HO are small, BUT that is the point - they are hidden! :) It is a bit dark, but that made it challenging. I enjoyed being able to gather so many inventory items, and loved the fast pace. Only negative for me was that it ended too quickly. I think this is a great game.
I found myself frustrated with the navigation tools, and the fact that you could not interact with the scenes EXCEPT where the developer wants you to go. Too clunky, and simple for my tastes. The story was new though, which I am grateful for.
Your friend, Mary, disappears and it's up to you to save her. Uncover an exotic land with unearthly secrets as you find and help your friend leave the flying island.
Sadly the positives on this one (gorgeous graphics, love the FROGs, neat idea) are totally outweighed by the length (finished in just over 90 minutes), the meager story and the predictable puzzles. Not recommended unless you have lots of credits to use up.
