I love HOG, and I love a game that gives me a challenge. But .. this game was rediculous in the back and forth and unending items to find. Had I bought this game before Citadels of Time, I wouldn't have bought Citadals. Unfortunately, I bought Citadals before this one. Citadals was a fun, challenging games without the ENDLESS back/forth jumps from one location to another. At least the items/back & forth made sense. This game was rediculous and frustrating. The ONLY saving grace of this game was the quick "hint" system that THANKFULLY moved me from one location to another. I will not be buying the next Echoes of the Past unless it is more like Citadels then Witches. If you like ENDLESS jumps from one location to another, and have an amazing recollection of where you have been and what you need, then this is the game for you. Otherwise, be prepared to just wanting to get it over with. I'm not even going to waste my time with the bonus section. Sorry, but I almost hated this game. Give me more Mystery Case Files or Puppet Show games which make a lot more sense and are not as frustrating as this game. NEXT!!
I don't recommend this game.

This was one of the best HOG's ever! The graphics were phenominal, the HO's great, and puzzles challenging without being too frustrating. Although I did have to skip a couple of the puzzles, they at least made me think w/out feeling they were impossible as many puzzles do. I replayed after finishing the Bonus round because I wanted to spend a bit more time looking at the graphics incorporated in the game. I was a bit confused at the end of the bonus round but hope this means there is a sequel coming!! This game should win 2012 best in many categories.
I recommend this game!

I truly enjoyed this game. I am now on the "Bonus" section #which, by the way, has no "help" so you are on your own. Is it as good as Royal Envoy, MKFTP, or Road to Rome? Hmmmmm ... maybe not, but still enjoyable challenge. I got gold all the way to the bonus levels, and am frustrated there is no help. In the bonus levels, your roll is reversed. Instead of beating the bad guys, you have to beat the good guys. I think it was well worth the price. I just like that I didn't have to see another person kidnapped or killed. Truly enjoyable game :#
I recommend this game!
Mystery Case Files®: Escape from Ravenhearst™ Collector's Edition
Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.

I was so looking forward to this game, but have found so far to be disappointed. Yes, the visuals are outstanding. Yes, the challenge is tough. But, there is no logic to what to do next. The integrated strategy guide is confusing at best. I don't claim to be the best at these games, but I believe I do have some sense of logic. From the beginning, I found this game confusing. Depending on the strategy guide is useless. I am really disappointed so far but will keep trying.
I recommend this game!
