I was completely enchanted with this game. Definitely immersive and fun. Some of the mini-games were a bit too challenging for me, but thankfully, there's a skip button!
I also found the hint button helpful in some areas but in others it was lacking. For example: sometimes it seemed to only show me what needed to be done in a specific area, not necessarily what I could do at that time (if I didn't have the object needed to finish the task, for example). So, it left me scratching my head a few times as to where to go next.
Luckily, there is a Walkthru online, which I had to consult a time or two.
Overall though...I really enjoyed this one! Highly recommend!

I have almost NO idea what the story was about. I really couldn't follow it. I think it was about Mark Twain trying to get his soul back or something...I'm not sure. Somehow Shakespeare is involved. Who knows...it's kind of convoluted...BUT....this game was great!
The scenes were gorgeous, the puzzles were just challenging enough. The game even startled me a few times, which was fun!
I definitely recommend this one!

This was one of the worst games I have played in the last couple of years. The graphics were abysmal, the HO scenes were awful, the music was tedious, and the story was ridiculous.
The HO scenes used fuzzy, bad images so you had to just guess on a lot of items...there was no way you'd be able to tell what something was. You're only given 4 hints to start and then you have to earn more by playing a Match 3 game.
I'm not even sure why I played it all the way through. I guess I always like to finish what I start. Ick...please don't buy this one!
I don't recommend this game.

Why is it that the longest games are always the most boring? I couldn't wait for this one to end but it felt like it never would.
It's just a boring HOG. That's all. I wouldn't recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

What a great game this was! The storyline was cute, the graphics were very colorful. Even the music was enjoyable. I felt the mini-games were too easy, but it didn't take away much from my overall enjoyment of the game.
If you're looking for a HOG that you can just relax and play...this is the one.
I recommend this game!

I was waiting and waiting for this one to come out and when it did, I bought it right away. I had a great time with this game, and once a little more time passes, I'll even play it again!
Cute characters, cute sound effects, and enough of a challenge to keep me playing! Keep them coming!
I recommend this game!

Dark and creepy, just like I like it!
I played on Easy mode, because my head hurts a bit and I didn't want too much of a challenge. ;o) I really enjoyed the game...not too hard, not too easy.
Loved that there was a map that allowed you to warp to one place or another!
I'll probably go back and try it out in Expert Mode so I can get the rest of the achievements.
I recommend this game!

Pros: Good storyline. Loved the voice overs. Good music. Skip button on mini-games. Unlimited hints.
Cons: Too many HO scenes for my taste. (But, I know that this is a HO game so...)
All in all, a fun game. Would recommend.
I recommend this game!

But...that was ok. They mixed it up a bit. Some of them were the kind where they show you shadows of the object and you have to figure out what it is, and some were "find all 12 of "x" item"....so not too bad.
Really, my only complaint was a lack of a skip button on some of the mini-games. That irritates me because some of them are just so tedious. But, other than that, I enjoyed the game.
I recommend this game!

I think the storyline could have been really good, but they relied on reading cards over actual story telling. The HO scenes were good...not too many, which I prefer. The graphics were just ok to me. It seems to just end. There wasn't a whole lot of build up or anticipation.
Overall, it was a decent way to kill time, but I probably won't play it again.
I don't recommend this game.
