If you LOVED the original MCF games, this is great. If hidden object games with a few puzzles thrown in bore you, don't bother.
I actually like the premise, but don't understand what makes this a Collector's Edition. HO morphs and a few collectibles in the door puzzles were really not enough. I might reconsider the SE or just replay Madame Fate.

I really love this series, so I bought this one. It was enjoyable, but I miss some elements from the previous game
Good: Fun levels without too much difficulty
Spot the difference and solitaire games
Cute story

Sub-par: Hated the bonus games. Ended up not playing them. Made the game really short.
Only one hidden object puzzle
No coins to earn or find to buy stuff.

I used a free game coupon, so I got my money's worth. Wish the next one is more like #6.
I recommend this game!

Two minutes in and I quit. I'm sorry, but the voice for Prince Fern was like nails on a chalkboard and I just couldn't deal with it. Note to all developers - try listening to real children sometimes. Seriously.
I don't recommend this game.

This MT is not quite as good as previous games but it was entertaining. So:
I liked the option to use Elf
The storyline was interesting and the bonus had a good twist
Most of the puzzles were pretty good - a few I found annoying
The voices were well done
Wish there was an option to back and find collectibles in the Extras
Game felt very short

The screenshots all showed match 3, which I love. However, it's a clutter style game, which I don't love. The story looked interesting and the graphics were nice, but I quit after 2 levels, since I was not at all interested in the match & find play. If you like the clutter games, you'll probably enjoy this.
I don't recommend this game.
Nobody comes back from the Dark Side unchanged, but it’s the only way to re-light the fading flame.

Wow. This is the first game in ages that I was itching to buy after the demo. As with the other two, I started a little skeptical but got hooked fairly soon.
Plus -
Intriguing storyline
Lots of collectibles and morphing objects
Custom play
Map includes collectibles
Puzzles have just the right amount of challenge
HOs are varied
Bonus game makes sense
Bonus extras include more games & puzzles

The negative - the voice acting is not terrific, especially in the bonus chapter.
As usual, some things don't make sense when finding the right object to interact with.

I'm sorry, but a character named Princess who falls in love with someone named Prince just turns me off. Add the fairly boring puzzles and I'm just not that into it. I enjoyed these games before, but not today.
I don't recommend this game.
Challenge an evil presence in this chilling hidden object adventure and save your loved ones before it's too late!

Am I just expecting too much from CEs now? Nothing new story-wise, puzzles are simplistic, HOs are nothing special, the map doesn't show collectibles, no special features in the tutorial, dialog takes forever and you can only skip, not speed up. Bored already.
I don't recommend this game.

I used to love these games, but lately, they have grown irritating. This one is no exception. No custom difficulty option, no traveling by map, poor quality voicing, boring games... I couldn't even finish the demo and will not be buying this.
I don't recommend this game.
