Good game helping poor souls, decent story, HOGs with Adventure, revisiting sites, but they are close by. HOGs are easy to see, but sometimes difficult to find - can be tricky. Puzzles have been easy durng 1 hr demo. Story didn't leave me curious. I'll give it another go another day.
I recommend this game!

I have NEVER purchased a Collector's Edition game before the demo was up, but I had so many areas of the map and storyline that I wanted to explore, that I didn't want to feel that rush of 1 hour almost up. Going to buy now.
Pied Piper of Hamlin is back to take revenge on the inhabitants of the city of Hamlin - nuff said.
Music was appropriately spooky and serene, Map available showing you objective areas, In game strategy guide, lots of items on the screen are interactive, including the HOS. I'll leave it up to you to figure out what to do with them. New types of games, new types of "cursed" objects. Bonus game button for those who finish the standard game. I love that you can click on stuff in the game that you don't necessarily need, and the game interactively discusses the items - pulls you in. Oh yes, and there's RATS!
I'm going to take my time on this game. Fun times ahead.
I recommend this game!

Fun little puzzles - great for a lazy afternoon. Lots of little mini-games along with one find three or more of the same shape game until you turn all the pieces gold which you can play as long as you like. Yes, old school navigation (arrows) and graphics, but I entertained myself thoroughly.
I recommend this game!

It was reminiscent of the old adventure games with a few hidden objects mixed in. Voice overs are good, graphics are okay, but you have to explore quite a bit to know what to do without a hint. Storyline is a bit silly with a professor being falsely accused, a female pilot adventurer and a one-eyed monkey. Puzzles were not really complicated, but they were not interesting to me. Overall, so-so.
I don't recommend this game.

After playing the demo and being captivated about what would happen next, I bought it immediately and spent the whole morning playing it. Sadly it has come to an end (abruptly), but there is definately room for a sequel. Fun puzzles, interesting storyline, occassional hidden object scenes and it moves forward fairly quickly. This game comes with a full strategy guide, and hints as needed. Hey, I enjoyed my time in the game thoroughly. Thank you Big Fish!

This game is for those who love adventure games. Sparkles indicate what to interact with, but can be turned off in the menu options. I did not play the 1st Pahelika, so there was a bit of a learning curve, but not bad. Lots of magic and potions to make (at least during the demo) and teleportation is the mode of travel. The game peaked my interest, but it wasn't a "gotta get it" feeling. I'll probably go back and play the first one before I play this one. It has references to the first game, so I feel kinda left out of part of the story.
I recommend this game!

I always HAVE to check out games that everybody hates. No, it's not just your run of the mill hidden object game with a few puzzles, it's more like an old-time adventure game with a few hidden objects that you can use to solve puzzles. I applaud their attempt to be a bit different, but you have to like the true adventure game to even have a chance of liking this game. I actually quite enjoyed it. However, it goes slowly and methodically - no rushing here, and your hints can be very vague. This game is not a super game, but for those who like the genre, it is more for the ex-adventurer who wants a nudge as to what to do from time to time, or for someone new to adventure who wants a bit more hand holding than more true adventures provide. Not excellent, but enjoyable nonetheless.
I recommend this game!

I thoroughly enjoyed what I played of this game. I wasn't stumped by any of the puzzles, but so far, they have all been enormously fun! TOTALLY different storyline than what we have had recently, and after an hour of play, I can't tell you what's going to happen. In fact, it is so diffeent, that I wouldn't spoil it by telling you anything about it. However, if you have a fear of bugs, then this game may not be for you. Beautiful graphics, nice soundtrack, and a nice blend of adventure, hidden object and puzzles.
I recommend this game!

I won't repeat what others have said, but I'll try to explain this game. In order to progress in the story you must move your mouse over the screen until something becomes a hand, gear or eye. If a hand, then click that spot to either pick something up to use in the future, or game will show you a circle indicating that there are 4-5 more items to find. When you've found them all (can be on multiple screens), game gives you access the the item you wanted in the first place. If a gear, then something you have,or will have, in inventory will work. If an eye, you can zoom closer. I am an adventure lover, but this game irritated me more than enthralled me. As others have said, some will love it, others... not so much, which is why I tried to explain the gameplay completely. It was not my favorite.

Logic meets Incredible Machine meets Adventure meets HOG. Game was pure fun - not SUPER challenging (yet) but just fun. There are new type puzzles and old type puzzles, but all the old type puzzles had a new wrapping. I didn't even mind the find the differences puzzle, and I don't ever like those. Lets see, there was a slider puzzle, a logic puzzle, a comparison puzzle, an association puzzle, progression puzzle, a HOG and a story of a Princess being sacrificed to save the kingdom. What more can you ask?
