Hi, I don't normally play these kind of games, but the good reviews prompted me to try it. And, actually I enjoyed it. Fun, good graphics, nice characters and storyline. Made a nice change to the HOGs and adventure games I usually play. Even bought the gardenscapes after playing this one which was also good fun!
I own the full version of Syberia that i got about 2 years ago and it is the best game ever if you like the large file games. It is just beautiful. The graphics, the story, everything about it. It is very time consuming and quite difficult in places, I had to use a walkthrough a number of times but most of it was completely logical. Oscar is such a great character, he really is brought to life in this game and some of the other characters you meet in the story are so well done and engaging. It really is the best I have played, it does feel like an interactive movie. I hated the fact that I finished it, I have been hoping for more ever since from the makers as I haven't ever found anything else comparable.

Really enjoyable and addictive even better than first game with all the additional extras. Graphics are lovely, liked the timed or untimed. Just kept wanting to play hour after hour. Nice long game too.

Loved this game. Graphics were very good, I had sound down so can't really comment. Game play was very engaging, characters were good. Not too much back and forth wasting time. Did find the mini games ridiculously easy, but some times it is nice to do a fun game that isn't as challenging as the sort I usually prefer.

SInking Island wasn't as good as I hoped. Long winded and far too much conversation to deal with. Story line was good and the graphics were pleasant but needed a map with shortcuts as it took way to long going up and down lifts and back and forth between hotel and beach with not much to do inbetween. So many unnecessary screens shots to walk/run through just wasted time. Did need the walkthrough an awfull lot which I don't like relying on. So overall a thumbs down
Really enjoyed this game, considering the file size it was as good as a lot of CE's. I wasn't expecting much, but found it to be a good story line, lovely graphics and challenging mini games. Liked the fact that you could adjust the darkness if too dark. Decent length also. And fun extras like collecting coins to collect maps so that you can jump from scene to scene - great idea. I have given 5 stars as although there are better games out there occassionally, this was extremley good value and I am amazed that I got so much from such a small file game. Can't wait for the follow on.
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.

Have always enjoyed MCF, but this was so disappointing! Although I like morphing objects as a little side thing, this game was rediculous. I kept waiting for regular HO's which never happened. What a waste of time staring at the screen over and over waiting to find morphing objects - really spoiled it for me. And the Bonus ???? What did I pay extra for? I hope they learn a lesson from this one and revert back to the style of some of the previous games as this really wasn't worth the wait!
