This game requires you travel back and forward in time to try and reverse some events in a shady takeover of an evil corporation and to find your Father. There are no voice overs but the dialoge does linger for enough time to read the whole story. The graphics are good clear and crisp. The puzzles and mini games are all interesting and different with some quite simple and others more difficult with most of the hidden objects quite well hidden but most reasonable easy to find and others present a bit of a challenge. The game did require a bit of backtracking through time and the different scenes to find your objectives but all in all quite a servicable and interesting game.
I recommend this game!

This is a great Oriental type mystery where our heroine has to sneak on board a royal train to find and reassemble an ancient Dragon Wheel which is reputed to have evil overtones if it falls into the wrong hands and it is up to Epiphany O'day to find the parts, assemble the wheel and elimininate the evil powers. The voice overs guide you through the game but can sometimes be a little repetitive but not overbearing. Graphics are colourful and bright in most cases, some have darker sections which make finding the hidden objects just that much harder. The hidden objects fall in the range of medium to some quite challenging but the hint button recharges quite quickly which is a bonus. The puzzles and mini games are not that difficult once you figure out what it is that you have to accomplish. A great game well worth the money. I bought it.

A great old western who dunnit with an over worked sheriff sent on holidays to a quiet little town only to find he has landed head long into a bank robbery and is obligated to find the culprits. Great game with loads of bonuses for not using hints, consecutive correct hits, finding 10 or more items in a minute etc. Extra hints can be earned by shooting randomly appearing bandits and extra bonus for shooting every five. The graphics are crystal clear and well defined and colourful and the dialogue with some voice overs and some reading making it an interesting, authentic and realistic adventure. The mini games, although much of a muchness were good and not that time consuming and relatively simple. The hidden objects were very clear and some more hidden than others. A number of them needed extra work to find and others needen to be found at another location but all were a pleasure to look for in the clear and colourful surroundings. A great game coupled with hidden objects, puzzles and glorious life-like western surroubdings. Go buy it I did.

This game is akin to the Ravenhearst and Dire Grove games. Plenty to do, plenty places to go and an enthralling and challenging game. The graphics are good and clear with clean lines and good detail. The dialogue is interesting and to the point - no wasted hoo har. The plot is to find numerous items to free several ghosts to gather vital pieces of an amulet that was broken and strewn throughout the various scenes in the game. The puzzles and mini games were what you would expect in a Collectors Edition, most require plenty of thought and require careful attention to the subtle clues in the scenes, together with referal to the journal or diary constantly. The hidden objects are quite reasonable without being dead easy as they range to varying degrees of difficulty to find. There is a fair amount of backtracking, to find various items which are to be used in other places but you would not have it any other way in a C.E. game. The bonus feature is equally as good. Buy it, well worth the money.

Quite a good and interesting game - the graphics are very good clear and precise and there is just enough dialogue to get you through the game without being tedious. Kate needed to find five idols and rescue her grandfather, both held by dastardly characters, and restore them to a location in the village. Some of the puzzles were challenging but most were easy enough but you had to look for the clues. Some of the hidden objects were tricky to find as they blended in well with the backgrounds. Needed the hint a few times but overall very enjoyable. Good story line, bit of intrigue and interesting tasks. A good game although just a tad short. I bought it.

In four words - interesting, entertaining, inspiring, intriguing can best describe this game. The graphics were very good and clear and the dialogue was interisting and topical. The puzzles were not too dificult but a few needed some extra thought. The hidden objects being fragmented did not distract from the intrigue of this game although some were a tad hard to find as they melded into the background. There was quite a lot of moving around and backtracking but I feel that this added to the interest and inspiration on finally being successful in that particular task. You really had to remember what was contained in each scene as most of the items and implements would be needed later in the game. Truly challenging in some places with the walkthrough blog needed but overall a great game, well worth the money.

It is obvious that there are a lot of people out there that do not like slot games. I wonder if they play the pokies. I thought this game was challenging, frustrating and exciting. Challenging - Trying to attain all the achievements set - I am still waiting for five wild cards. Frustrating - yes I will admit that the bonus rounds are very few and far between but when the do come up you have a choice of a number of different venues around the USA (I am up to map 3 so far) Most of the time you are awarded 10 free spins but very occasionally you are awarded random wild spins which increase you credits and fans markedly. Exciting - knowing that it is not your money and some on the wins can be quite large (15000) or better. I am up to level 5 and sitting back in wonder as to what is the next step. I have to get 75000 on my fan meter and also wonder what is the next level. I play it every chance I can but then I like playing the pokies as well.

I partially agree with the other previewers that this game is kind of cartoonishly drawn and enacted with childish type of almost fairytale overtones. But I feel the game is trying to reveal a more common occurence these days - greedy con artists endeavouring to cash in on paranormal activities by bewildering the local farmers. The graphics are ok without being spectacular and the dialogue is just enough to explain what is happening or about to happen. The puzzles and mini games together with the hidden objects do require some thought with others quite easy, with a minimal use of the hint button in some cases. I have bought this game played it right through and quite enjoyed it. Keep an open mind as it could be a game of light hearted enjoyment.

For such a comparatively small game this one seemed to go on for ever not that this was a bad thing. The bad thing was that the dialogue was a bit tedious at first as I couldn't read it all before it disappeared. The explanations between scenes were better bigger and stayed on longer. The graphics were very good, clear and colourful, the intro was a bit childish but this improved as the game progressed. The scenery was excellent. The plot seemed to be to collect a number, which at times was challenging to find, from each scene to be added to a grid of numbers. A diary entry was made at the end of each scene. The puzzles were simple to medium and quite entertaining and the hidden objects were clear but some needed a hint. This replenished in a short time. After a bit of doubt at the beginning, this game developed into a good game, great scenery and interesting to play. The ending was a bit of a surprise but on the whole it is worth the money.
I recommend this game!

This game although not startling did hold my interest all the way through. The graphics tended to be a bit "cartoonish" but were authentic and were drawn well enough to make out the objects. The music was a tad tedious at times but the added background sounds like waves, birds and crowds in a market place did manage to add a distracting element away from the music. The dialogue, which was all reading did waffle on a bit but once again I suppose necessary for the game. The hidden objects were of two types, the listed objects were reasonably easy to find and some needed extra work to eliminate the items in blue, but the shadow type presented a little more of a challenge, all in all quite entertaining. The puzzles and mini games were quite easy to very medium in complexity but all enjoyable.
This game, once again was not one of the best but still worth the money to buy and a worthy addition to a collection.
