This has to be my favorite of the series. It was quite long, that is because I take my time looking around, reading the story and hunt for them clovers.The graphics are very clear and beautiful. There is a whole lot to do and I got stuck sometimes, but reading the journal, helped out. You have to really problem solve and I like to interact with most of the ghosts, because in the end I set them free. There were also a few moments that had me jump, particularly the one...can't tell you, not to ruin your moment. Just when you think that's it, you are surprised where the map leads you. Surprise!

Bought this game without even trying it first. I knew it had to be yet another good sequel in the same style.
I'm not quite finished but I love it so far. The scenes are clear and challenging, and not too many HOGs, but still lots to do, The built in SG is a nice add on to a standard game, which helps a lot when you get stuck. It is a bit " magic", what else would you expect from Houdini. Please keep these games coming

......with lots of nooks and crannies. Loved this game. So much to do.Just when you think it is the end, another area of the map opens up with lots to do. The map makes it very easy to navigate around without having to walk all over and backtrack. The storyline is pretty good and even the bonus game in the CE has lots to do. mini games can be a bit hard, had to skip a few before the frustration level kicked in, but still a lot of fun. It's a very long game which I love and the details in the scenes are extremely beautiful.Please make another sequel.

Just finished this game. It was pretty long, nice graphics, good story. The HOS were clear however most of them were a junkpile. Lots of running back and forth. I usually don't mind that but seemed a lot in this game, once you get an item you need to go back where you just came from. The ending was horrible, it just ended and kind of left me hanging. Not too impressed with that

I must be the only one not liking this game. I just can't get into it. Every time you turn around there is a HOS, not much story line and the graphics are not the best, however the panoramic views are different. The story and hints are not very clear and I got stuck often wondering what to do next. Maybe I will give it another try. I usually love all adventure hidden object games, just this one disappointed me

Just finished the game and I thought this was a very good game. The HOGs did not come up too often but were related to the scene. The minigames were tough sometimes and I skipped a few. Guess my mind does not work that way or I was just getting tired. It started out kind of hard but I finally figured it all out and I got hooked.Length is pretty good and the scenes and graphics are beautiful and clear. Hopefully there will be another one. This one was worth it.

This was very entertaining. Just had to buy it after I played the trial. The HOGs are very good and all items have to do with the areas you are in. There is a lot of back and forth but if I would have checked the map, which I did 2/3rds through the game, I could have saved a lot of miles on my pedometer. But I loved it. The evidence wall will turn you into a detective trying to put it all together. Very nice storyline, creepy, but keeps you interested.The length of the game was satisfying to me. There are a lot of areas to discover. Can't wait for part two to come out now
I recommend this game!

This has to be the most addicting game so far for me.I did not want it to end. Fantastic scenes, incredible gameplay. Just when you think the room is done, a mirror opens up to a whole different scene. Amazing storyline and the game is pretty long. Interesting mini games, really makes you think.Well worth the money. Enjoyed it a lot
I recommend this game!

Love, love, loved it. Just finished it. The game has a very good length and it just keeps you going wanting more, The scenes are beautiful and fun to play. You think you are in a fairy tale. Items to find are also very beautifully detailed. Even the bonus game has a pretty good length and leads up to part 3. I particularly like the fact that one has to go back and forth on the map just to discover that there is yet another part of the map. The map is very helpful, really no need to ust the strategy guide. Fantastic. I'm off to play part 3, the snowqueen. great job BFG and blue tea cup
I recommend this game!
Discover a wonderful Love Story in this fantastic Hidden Object game! Travel back in time and relive a beautiful tale.

Very sweet story line, kept me going wanting to find out more. Wish it would have gone on a little longer. Good HOG, good mini games. Make more games of that style
