I'm sure this game would appeal to many people, mostly beginners and maybe even some who like straight HOGs (I do occasionally). The graphics weren't bad, seemed very old school and rather dull. Sound when you found an item was very annoying, a lot of dialogue but you could click through it, game play okay. Did not care for the hint system at all..screen going black and white with the item in yellow was terrible. HOGs were junk piles.
This game did not grab my attention at all. Sorry, I didn't even last half an hour on this one. No buy for me either.
Thanks for the reviews.
I recommend this game!

Nice game. Graphics not bad (didn't have a problem with blurry items#, music annoying and never changes the tune, HOGs not difficult #for the most part, items easily seen#, hint system good, games not difficult #did not care for the instructions in the games at all...not really instructions#, game play nice, SG easy to follow and nicely done.
The sleepy eye has been way over done...and why was she out? Did I miss something? Yes, missing children #again), but a little different story line. Made me want to find out what happens.
This one definitely would have benefited from an interactive map system. A lot of back and forth for one item is a bit much, especially when you have to move through multiple areas to get from point A to point B.
I have never been "caught off guard" by any of these games, but this time I was. The man in the forrest made me jump, and I knew it was coming.
All in all, I did enjoy this game from the beginning. I liked finding the masks rather than straining my eyes looking for morphing objects (which I do enjoy anyway). I prefer seeing the entire SG to figure out about how long the game is. I don't like spending CE money for a short game, so will wait to see what people say about the length before I decide to purchase.
Thanks for the reviews.

Well, I always try a game, no matter what the reviews say. Unfortunately, they are all correct this time. Music boring, HOGs okay, game play not bad. Could have easily been a very nice game. Timed is okay, but there is no challenge when the timer is extremely slow. Beginners may very well like this game (and for that reason only, I am recommending this game), but not for me. Just sort of a blah game.
Thanks for the reviews.

I have three other Amazing Adventure games and really enjoy them. Sometimes, I just like to rest my brain and test my hand-eye coordination and these games are very good for that. Also very relaxing.
Nice graphics, music and game play. HOGs are a little more difficult to find than in the other AA games, but that makes it a bit more challenging. A nice change of pace and something different. These games are always quite long, so well worth the price, but I'm using a credit for this one.
Thanks for the reviews.

I always play a demo in the easy mode. If easy is too easy, I don't bother. I found the graphics a bit fuzzy, but not so bad that I wouldn't purchase because of it. HOGs were fun, but a bit pale in color, not difficult. Game play was good, music good. Nice voice-overs, SG and hint system (didn't care for the blood splatter when using the hint#. Nice job mixing real with fantasy. So why click on a ghost if they aren't going to do anything but run away? Funny..
I prefer seeing the number of chapters up front on any game, which gives me an idea of approximately how long it is. So tired #no pun intended) of the sleepy eye in all these games.
This game didn't grab me, but I found it interesting enough to want to finish. Not sure if I'm going to use the special today, or hold it in the puddle for a really nice special. I will purchase at some point. Thanks for the reviews.

Very nice game. Beautiful graphics, very nice game play, music okay but annoying after a while, games not difficult but take some thought and a little time on a couple. Nice hint system. A lot of dialogue, but can click through it. Would have been better if there had been voice-overs on this one. Different story line for a change..very nice.
I liked this one, very fun and kept me wanting more. Demo went by very quickly. All the reviews say this is a very short game. Don't like wasting a credit or money on a short game. Tesla was the perfect length for an SE and I thoroughly enjoyed that one. I will put this in the puddle and think on it a bit before deciding if I want to add it the my pond or not.
Thanks for the reviews.

Very nice little game. This is not something I care to play, but it was different and fun. I always like to try something different once in a while.
Graphics nice, game play nice. Music and grunting got very annoying very quickly. As I said, very nice game, but since I'm not in to this type of game, it is not a buy for me.
Thanks for the reviews.

Really liked this game. Demo went by too fast. Challenging enough to keep me interested and wanting more. Very nice graphics, little different story for a change, nice music, very nice game play. HOGs had a few items that were too dark and difficult to see, but mostly good. Games took a bit of thought, but not extremely difficult. Very nice voice-overs and hint system.
Definite buy for me. Thanks for the reviews.

Awesome game! Excellent graphics, voice overs, game play. Music got a bit annoying after a while, but I just lower the volume. Loved the HOGs and the option of changing to a different game within a HOG (very nice change from the norm). This game drew me in within the first 10 minutes and I wanted more. The demo went by too fast.
The only thing I didn't like was that you could click through some of the dialogue and not all (I read faster than they talk). Not a deal breaker.
This is a beautiful game, one like I haven't seen in a very long time! Well worth the price. I am going to use the special and purchase now.
Thanks for the reviews.

Very nice game. Graphics excellent, music excellent, voice overs excellent, game play excellent. The only mark down is the cursor (if I click on standard, I want the standard) and the story (nothing new).
Was disappointed when my time was up. Definite buy for me. Thanks for the reviews.
