HOS were great. I love the interactive element. Great visuals. Ending to the story was abrupt but until then interesting. Puzzles were good. Had to skip a few. Boring. Needed a Map. Too much back and forth but entertaining.

Love this series. Love the interactive HOS. Great puzzles and hint system. Traveling Map is a plus. Some scenes are straight from the other game but I don't mind. Just great fun. Love Elf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Game. Great graphics. Interactive HOS. Interesting story. Very Helpful Map and fast hint refill. Love this series and liked this episode. Puzzles were good but sometimes difficult. Could not figure some out but I could skip it. Just could not stop playing.
I recommend this game!

Glad this was a $2.99 game. Graphics old style. Objects hard to see. Way too many HOS. Adventure/Inventory items a joke. Way too easy. No wandering around and thinking involved. Thank goodness you could skip the lousy puzzles. Just did not like it.

This developer does good games and they do fantastic games. This is just a good solid game with all the stuff you come to expect from this developer. Good Graphics:Check. Good HOS: check. Repetitive Music: Check. Adequate hint system: check. I liked it because it's a solid if slightly boring game. Entertaining. I used a coupon and enjoy it.

I loved it. Probably because I shelled out the extra money and had a strategy guide. Can't really afford to do that too much so my 5 stars on based on the fact I had help right there within the game. Graphics awesome. Live action welcomed. Great story. Like the twists on the HOS. The map was PERFECT. Just all around fun

This game had everything. Great story. HOS were not typical. More adventure type of story. Still had to find things but they were things important to the story. Puzzles were so fun. Varied and thoughtful. It was a long game with plenty to see and do. Great hint system. Just love it.

Great hint system and guide but I still did not know what was going on. I played the first game but it did not make much of an impression and made this one confusing. Loved the HOS and the puzzles. I liked that the journal kept track of necessary info to solve puzzles. The game length seemed short but fun game.
I recommend this game!

I love this develope's games but this one was just so ho hum. It might be due to the fact that I just finished one that had a great story behind it and this one didn't. Good graphics and visuals as always but same old music, same old HOS. The puzzles were OK but I did not feel bad skipping a few because I had done these kind of puzzles before. Could not wait to finish it so I could play something else.
I don't recommend this game.

This game has everything you could want. Great graphics, adventure/inventory, story, hard HOS. The best map I have ever seen in a game. Great hints which you will need. I wish I had the CE with the strategy guide. I bought the SE because I will not pay double for a game. The puzzles were difficult for me and a strategy guide would have been nice. However, this makes the game have replay value. Just a whole lot of fun.
