This game is long and has many challenges. I wasn't expecting more than the typical IHOG game and was pleased with what unfolded.
There is no journal.
I played casual and the hints and minigames charge quickly.
You have a map that was quite different than most and without it I don't see how you would be able to play the game. It is your constant friend.
Story line is good as well as graphics. Voice overs could have been better.
HO's are somewhat tedious but with a quick recharge button they roll well.
Worth the time and money.
I recommend this game!

I passed this one up when it came out as a CE and I even passed it up at regular price for a long time. Turns out this game is really good.
You don't need a SG or map to play.
Mini games are good and even have mini games within mini games. I'm not a real good mini game player but I was able to complete a good many.
The HO's are not too frequent and are interactive.
Music and graphics are good.
There is an added feature that I found I liked and made me laugh.
I recommend this game!

This is a CE game in a regular game price! I was greatly surprised and enjoyed the game.
No map, but you don't need one.
A built in SG, something you don't find in regular price games.
You have to find ravens to earn hints, but they are easy to find and I ended up with about 30 I didn't use.
Story line is historical and interesting.
A very good game.
I recommend this game!

I didn't expect too much from this game but was greatly surprised to find it was a high quality game. I waited until it came out at regular price but would have paid CE price for it.
Very long game.
Beautiful graphics
In casual mode hints charge quickly
Minigames are not too bad

The map is outstanding and I don't know how you would play the game without it. You can click on a location and you will be taken there. Awesome!
One minor drawback is that there are a ton of HO's. Not too bad with the quick hint recharge and they are interactive. I got kind of tired of playing so many.
I recommend this game!

This sequel is as good as the original. It is a long game and beautiful. Worth the CE price. I did have to use the SG. The one draw back I found is that there are many HO's and the hint button charges slowly. If you hate HO scenes then you won't like this game. I really don't like them but found these to be acceptable. There is no map, which would have been a nice addition to the game.
I recommend this game!

I don't know how I overlooked this game. I was very surprised to find this quality of a game in the last sale BF ran.
It is rare that I give any game a 5 star rating but felt this one deserved it. The ending is a little odd but maybe there will be a sequel.
There, of course, is not a SG but I only found one spot that stumped me. Lots of mini games, which are of normal challenge. The HO's are not the usual kind which is a nice break. There is a map, which I didn't use and the game has a very good length.
Wish some of the CE's I bought were this good.
I recommend this game!

Game didn't make me jump up and down, but it was okay.
There is no map and it really needed one. So much back and forth.
Lots of talking ghosts. Their conversations were way too long.
Lots and lots of puzzles.
Hint system is good and no need for SG.
I recommend this game!

Game was a little hard to get into, but once you begin it turns out to be a exciting game. I really like the bonus chapter being build into the game. Game play time is long, so worth the price. The HO's are not bad and some are interesting. The game has a lot of different items to do which I enjoyed. Not your typical IHOG and I would like to see more on this level.
The only thing I didn't like was when asked for a hint the sparkles blended into the scenes, especially the ones with snow. The SG is good and I did have to use it.
You have a option to up the brightness for this game and I pulled it to the max.
Very good game.
I recommend this game!

I can depend on ERS games to be a good play and this is no exception. Game length is good, story line and music are also good. Graphics are bright and bold. Bonus chapter is not short. HO's are interactive and there are several of them but the graphics are done well enough to make them easy enough to play. Mini games are fairly simple. I generally have some trouble with mini games but was able to play most of them with no trouble. SG is typical and I did end of having to use it a few times.
Worth the CE price.
I recommend this game!

This is what a CE should be all about. It kept my interest and I looked forward to getting back to playing. Just the right amount of HOGs (really enjoyed that). Never had to use the SG but was tempted a couple of times.
This is a long game which makes the CE cost worth it.
The only thing I found to complain about was a person who had a persistent cough through out the whole game.
One of the best games I've played in a long time.
I recommend this game!
