Beautiful game, good storyline, and completely different from all the others. I am so disappointed in myself - I had to skip 3 puzzles to finish. Geez, what a weinie! I plan on playing this one again to see if I can get that perfect score...
Game seemed really good - I loved playing it, but I was finished in 1 hour? What a letdown..... I wish Big Fish would give a ball park of how long a game is - maybe beginner would be 3 hours, intermediate 2 hours and expert 1 hour. Didn't feel like I got my $6.99 worth. Sorry - wanted to give a good review but not worth the money.
Geez, aren't all the Dark Parables games great? So many game designers come out with a winning game, then the next game is so-so. Once again, another outstanding winner. I don't want to stop playing - I think I'm on the 3rd time throught (I'm on Level 3?). Could anyone tell me if it is just the same game each time throught or if anything changes? At any rate, unbelievable.
I guess I assumed that the game would be a nice change from the HOG games.. When I demo'd it, I thought it would keep my interest..WRONG! Frustrating, and some of the hints weren't even in the ball park. You get a word, and then start or finish it with an object on the screen. Tired of the repetition.....maybe in another year I'll give it another try and will do a new review.

I beta tested this game last year and was completely blown away. I've been waiting impatiently for the release and knew I would buy it the moment it hit the website. I was NOT disappointed. Not just a HOG, but puzzles throughout the game, some difficult some frustrating but not enough to make you quit. I love the way you pick up objects and need to use them to complete the HOG. Great storyline, and when you think, wow, great game, guess this is the end, it opens to another setting. You will NOT be disappointed!!
