I just finished playing this game and I am still in awe!. I just loved it!
Fantastic storyline, wonderful graphics, very good puzzles, minigames and HOG's. And loads of them!
The game is also fairly long, I had a good 5-6 hours of fun with it.
I bought this as a SE, because after trialing the CE, I decided the collectibles and other extra's weren't necessary for me. The game had a really great ending and I didn't feel I missed out on something, although the dev's gave me a little hint what it would be about in the end.
I higly recommend this game and I'm sure you'll have fun with it too! Enjoy!
I just finished playing the CE version of this game, and loved it. Fantastic graphics, good storyline and nice ambient music and sounds. The story pulled me in right from the start and kept my interest going for the total of the game.
The maingame ends in a very good, rounded up way. The bonusgame did not really add to the game and was fairly short. I only rated the CE 4 stars because of this. If you don't really care for the extra bling in the CE, the SE in my opinion is the better buy.
I had a lot of fun with this Vendel game and hope you'll like it too! Enjoy.

I just finished playing this game and I liked it a lot. Very good graphics and a good storyline, albeit not historically correct, as explained by several other reviewers.
The bonusgame is very short and doesn't really add something to the game. The maingame is rounded up perfectly and you can do very well without the bonus, if you don't care about the other bling. There are morphs, not too difficult to find, and coins.
I do recommend this game, I had good fun with it, but better as a SE than a CE.
Try it and enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Very good game, Mr. Dupin is as always charming. I tend to review only the games I like, so that's why you'll mostly find rave reviews by my hand.
I just finished playing the game and loved it. Great graphics, very good VO's and typical ERS music. Engaging storyline that kept my interest till the end, always very important to me.
The main game ended in a good rounded up way. The bonusgame gave some extra info about one of the characters. It was a very nice but kind of short chapter. The game can be played very well without it. The extra bling isn't much. I do think the SE is the better buy.
I am a happy fishie! Just finished playing this game and I loved it. The best ERS game in a long time. I bought this SE version and I'm very glad I did. The great story ends in a good, rounded up way, and I don't feel I missed out on something. The extra bling wasn't much and didn't interested me.
I just finished playing this game. Even now in 2015 this is a very nice game. Heavy on the HOS, but that's normal for this older type of game.
Storyline is great, that's why I couldn't put it away and had to keep on playing till the end. Music adds to the atmosphere of the game, but there are no voices.
Good level of difficulty, makes you think in some places. There is a great jump map, and I think you couldn't play the game without it, otherwise you will be in for a very, very long game and more than one pair of sneakers!
To be honest, I tend to like these older games more than the new ones, with much better storylines made for adults, and gameplay made for adults. Loved it!
Love this game, fantastic graphics and beautiful music, this is how I think a HOPA game should be made! Cateia games rock!
Finally a bit of a new view to hidden objects scenes. Absolutely lovely!
And finally a bit of challenge, a game where you can use your head, and you don't feel treated as a 3-year old instead of an adult. I do not mean it is crazy difficult though.
Try out this game for yourself, I'm sure you'll love it!
Sadly, I was one of the many that bought this game without trying it first, based on the fantastic reviews. Boy, was I dissappointed! Not even a 6 year old kid would believe this storyline! Cinderella and Pinocchio?? They have nothing to do with each other and never will! When they meet it's clear they don't even like each other! I'm really sorry blue tea, I normally like your games very much, but this storyline seems thrown together by someone who was completly inspireless. They tried to make up for it by making everything you collected look like some kind of jewel, but mostly you couldn't even make out what it was meant to be used for... Find yourself another game, there are 100's of really fantastic games out there!
Good SE game, had a lot of fun with it. Very long game, some collectables in the form of gems, which give you extra hints.
Very good storyline, it's what grabbed me from the beginning and kept me playing. Graphics a bit oldfashioned, but I don't really mind that. No widescreen.
