We loved the game, although we thought the first two games of the Azada series were better. The graphics and sound track are great, as is the adventure itself. The games ranged from easy to difficult, but the strategy guide was a great help and we did use it from time to time. All in all it's a great game.
Another awesome game in the Azada series! This one had fun story lines and fantastic interactive puzzles. Also, if you completed the first Azada, you could unlock another book using the magic words given at the game end. You need to click on the portrait of Titus and enter the letters to form the words. The ending of this game also gave a clue that we think must be useful in the most recent Azada game that was released. The graphics were great and the puzzles and items used in the adventure were not all challenging, but some made you think. The original Azada game & this one are completely different in play and we thought they were both equally fun and will play them again.
We purchased this game a while ago, so had to replay to see what it was about. There is minimal story line, but a wide variety of games to play. All are awesome! Yes, there is a timer, but it is 35 minutes for each chapter and some games can be completed in less than a minute. You can also select which page (mini game) to play in the chapter so you can get all the easy ones done first and take time on the harder ones. Also, skip points accumulate for games not to your liking and after the first chapter, you have the option of playing mini games over & over again, so you can practice on all of them. There is the option to have many different players, so we start and play for an hour at a time as each of our characters to compete against each other. I highly recommend this game if you love all varieties of mini games of easy to sometimes hard challenges.
I recommend this game!

Strange Cases: The Secrets of Grey Mist Lake Collector's Edition
Discover the Secrets of Grey Mist Lake! FBI Agent Claire Ellery has discovered another Strange Case and she needs your help!
All aspects of this game as far as graphics & sound were excellent. Since we seldom play a game all the way through in one sitting we can't be sure on total hours of play, but it seemed we were playing it off & on for quite a long time and it was lots of fun! We did need to use hints more than we liked in some hidden object scenes as there were some objects that were not named with the word we would have typically called the item. We did need to use the strategy guide a couple times and it was helpful. The bonus chapter was excellent and tied in with the story line. All in all, this is a very good game and we are glad we purchased it.
This game was awesome! Well worth paying a Collector's edition price! The graphics, music and game play were all fantastic! Many, many hidden object scenes as well as picking up random objects through out the adventure. We don't like to, but did need to skip a couple of the mini games, as they were very challenging. We will go back & try to get through them again without skipping. All in all, this game will give you hours of awesome game play, even with the demon theme story line.
Bought this game when done with the demo because we just have to solve the mystery! Good sound with pleasant voice overs from some characters. The hidden objects are of the find by the shape variety and are a nice change of pace. The mini games are difficult at times, but all the more challenge in making this a fun game. Have not finished yet, so can't say how long of a game it is. All in all, a very fun game.
Made the purchase as soon as we were done playing the demo. The story is interesting. The graphics and voice overs are good. The hidden object scenes that we have played have some interaction that is always a fun extra. Definitely some humor in the scenes. Disco Toad.. too funny! Cannot comment on the length of the game since we have not finished, although it does have us hooked and we can't wait for the purchase to finish loading so we can get back to it!
We didn't even finish the demo before we purchased. There are many levels of "we don't want to stop playing" fun! We haven't finished, but from what we have played the story is nice and the music uplifting. There is a variety of games. So far, there have been hidden object, match, find a number of objects and find the difference. From the map, it seems we have quite a few more levels to go and we have only played for about half an hour. This will be a nice break during the sometimes hectic holiday season!
We played the demo and finished the chapter to 45 minutes. The graphics and story line are good. We like games that have achievements to work towards and this game has many. There is the ability to collect extra hint points and we thought we were accumulating many, then found hints are limited to 5. This didn't really matter since we didn't use any hints in the demo. Because we finished the demo chapter in a short amount of time, we will wait until the "non-collectors" edition is released. All in all, it was a fun game.

Great game! This is fun, fun, fun! After you start accumulating dollars from wins in the match game, you can begin building different aquariums and also use them as screen savers. We once had to re-install and lost all our levels, however, we are now on level 809 and still going! Great graphics and sound.
