This was a good game. I found it too easy though. The HOS and puzzles were easy.
Graphics were excellent.
Storyline was pretty good for a fantasy.
Storyline was pretty good for a fantasy.
I think it would have been better if there was map you could use. I found my self going back and forth between the castle scenes (or paintings, however you describe them) tryng to get items that are needed in another painting. That was actually kind of annoying have to do that.
Otherwise, good game.
I recommend this game!

The game was Ok. The storyline was more on the odd side. The ending was kind of lame.
Graphics were great, however, I could only play it in the evening because the colors were so dark that I could barely see what I was doing in the day time.
I also did notice, when the characters were talking, their words were not in sync with their lips......conversation was over (no more talking), but their lips were still moving.

All the HOS and puzzles were fairly easy. Did have to use the hint to direct me to next location. Towards the end when I was in the cave under the floating museum, I couldnt find what to do next so I used the hint. The hint directed me all the way back to a house (the one near the robot).....there was nothing to do at the house. So I did have to glance at the strategy guide due to the hint glitch.
I finished the game in about 3 hours.

Storyline was good. As Flo, you are helping Quinn plan and get ready for a baby shower.
Wasnt as fun as other games with Flo. I found myself going back and forth more than anything trying to find all the ballons and find all the bottles/cans to recycle for money for the train.
I didnt like the giant store either (trying to find specific baby items that are a certain kind and color was very difficult when with all the other items of same kind in shelves).
Graphics were not good. Looked like a child drew it.

Game was excellent. The first scene was a little slow having to go back and forth to the hotel, but after that the game got more intriguing as you got closer to the murderer.
There is a murderer on the lose who kills his victims and then arranges the body as a puppet.
The ending scene did seem lame, but the rest if the game was great.
Puzzles were challenging, but not completly impossible. There was one puzzle in the mansion that was impossible for me to where I had to get a save file from someone else who completed that puzzle (if you look up slider puzzle in the forums, you will see a lot of people who had a lot oftrouble with this puzzle).
Graphics were very good too.
I recommend this game!

This game was a very good game. The beginning was little slow when I was trying to get through the closed down theater area, but once I got past that the game got better.
Graphics were very good as well. The mystery part was very good as you fnally think you know who the murderer is then that changes in good scene. I did have to refer to the strategy guide a few times which was very helpful.

I didnt care for this game as much as other reviewers.
I didnt like the hint concept. You had to find dream catchers in order to have hints. Dont find dream catchers, no hints which I had to keep using to figure out where to go next.
There is no map. I found I was going back and forth more than anything trying to find the next thing I had to do. I also didnt really like the jumping from present to past back to the present several times.
The puzzles were annoying to the point I ended up skipping them. Its rare for me to skip puzzles. The skip button takes forever to load (several minutes). The foot path puzzle and the door with the bomb (bonus level) was the worst.
You also have to collect police badges to unlock unlimted HOS, which I didnt play. The HOS scenes were very easy. The ones I didnt like were the matching HOS (shoes was pretty easy but matching 'like' items was not fun whatsoever).
Graphics were excellent. The woman, Angelica, was annoying to listen to. She kept talking and wouldnt shut up.
Storyline was ok with the murders, but once she starting going back and forth between the past and present, the storyline got ridiculous.
I prefer games that are more like Mystery Case Files, Mystery Trackers, and Surface. This game could compare to those at all.
Once upon a time in the small, undistinguished town of Silentville people started disappearing. Help uncover the mystery behind these disappearances and save the town from a curse!

I have to say this game was honestly boring for me.
There were only a few HOS, and those HOS were not like most I have played. A majority of the objects you had to find had to be created first (required you to find 2-3 objects to repair other objects). Ex: find the stick and add it to the broom, find a knife and cut the salami and then add the salami to the pizza. That is the concept of a majority of the hidden objects in the HOS.
Storyline was ok, not the greatest storyline I have seen compared to ther games I have played.
Graphics were excellent.
Puzzles seemed lame to me. Most were not challenging to me. There was couple (like the pond) that were too challenging.
An organ grinder seeks revenge, marking his victims with cards. Can you stop him before he destroys the entire city?

This game is very good. The music is very good. I didnt find it too challenging. All the HOS and puzzles were actually pretty easy to me. I didnt use a single hint at all throughout game. The graphics were very good. The storyline was very good too (revenge). There are a lot of bonus content(songs, wallpapers, bonus gameplay, extra puzzles etc) which is nice for once. There are many collectors editions that hardly have anything.
I recommend this game!

To be honest, I liked this one better than the first Surface games.
Graphics were excellent.
Sound was excellent. Loved the music.
Storyline was better than many of the other games I have played.
Challenge was good too. Not too hard, but not too easy either.
The bonus chapter was great too. It was like a whole new game within a game.

I loved the previous MCF games with bonus play. This one was disappointin. The bonus play was just unlocking a safe to unlock 50 morphing objects in which you have to find throughout the town....that was it. The bonus play wasnt even an "adventure" type play like previous games.
Storyline was not the best. I like Lea Thompson in movies, but wasnt a fan of her in the game. She was kind of annoying in game. Game is not really challanging like the others. I finished in less than 5 hours. Previous games like Dire Grove and 13th skull took longer and was more entertaining. The HO scenes were very simple. I was able to find all the hidden objects in the HO scenes in less than 2-3 min.
If you want this game I recommend you buy the SE, not CE.
