Totally excellent game. Clear graphics and nice movie features.
With the aid of the MAP, you almost don't need the Strategy Guide.
For those that do not purchase the Collector's Edition, you will have a good ending to the game. The Bonus tells the story of another person.
Best game in quite a while.
I recommend this game!

Thoroughly enjoyed the game. Graphics very clear and nice sounding voice-overs. The story was an interesting "who did it". The music fitted the game, and was not repetitive.
I call this game, a breath of fresh air. It had right amount of HO scenes and adventure. This is not a difficult game, but it is enjoyable.
I recommend this game!

Thoroughly enjoyed playing the game.
There was plenty to do: Hidden Object scenes, Finding objects and using them, Adventure and Puzzles; lots of variety.
The game made you think about what to do and when to do it.
Excellent "Hint" system and very clear graphics.
Looking forward to more games of this type.

I have purchased this game and I am thoroughly enjoying it. My trail time just flew by, so I knew I was hooked by a good game.
There are plenty of HO scenes and the discovery of finding items along the way. I especially like looking for "hidden souls". They are like looking for morphing objects; nice addition to the game.
Hidden Objects are cleverly hidden; some in plain sight, but slightly blended by color or placement. Makes the hunt more interesting.
Excellent voice acting; really helps with the story. I do wish the Developers would have kept the music and voices separate though.
Some of the puzzles are unique, but not overly difficult.
I have full screen video (Vista, Reg. PC, not a Laptop or Notebook). My screen views are very clear 99% of the time. There are some ares that are a little fuzzy, but not overly so.
The story may be a repeat, but the game flows nicely, abet a little slow in some areas.
I'm glad I made the purchase. Hope those of you that purchase the game enjoy it to.
I recommend this game!

Lots of puzzles and mini games. I thoroughly enjoyed "Tiger Eye - Part I". Tiger Eye: The Sacrifice was a challenge because of all of the puzzles/mini games. Searching for items across locations was a nice change of pace.
You can play "Tiger Eye: The Sacrifice" without playing the first "Tiger Eye" game, but I recommend that you not miss out on the "beginning of Hari and Dela's" romantic story.
I hope to see more games like this....thoroughly enjoyable.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Graphics were nice and clear and there were a lot of places to visit. Some puzzles to solve, items to pickup along the way, and H0 Scenes. It was a nice mixture of things to do. Add to that looking for fingerprints and jewelry, plus solve the Murder.
The "help" in the game was great, it was like almost having a built in guide. Nice feature, wish more Developers would do this.
I'm looking forward to more games of this caliber.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game. No gory scenes. Nice story line. Fantastic graphics. Looking forward to more games with this type of format.
For those of you, that will be purchasing the SE version, you will get a proper ending to the game. The CE version expands upon why the "masked" person did, what he did.
I recommend this game!

I am totally enjoying this game. The rooms are "clean" and not cluttered or grimy looking. The story is unique. Looking for items in a "same grouping" is a different Hidden Object setup. You pick up objects along the way, that you will use in various scenes also. Searching for parts and putting mechanical items together is a nice change-up on puzzles.
I recommend this game!

Fun game, but it was way too short. Nice clear graphics and cleverly hidden objects, in some scenes. I liked the way the actual Hidden Object scenes were set up; find items by picture and match items by association. No sneakers were needed for this game.
I totally enjoyed the place-in-sequence mini-games. You need to place several items in exact locations for an action scene to properly function.
Hopefully the Developer will make more games like this, but make them longer to justify pricing.
I recommend this game!
