This is an awesome game. totally worth the money.
To those you are complaining that you can only play the full game with collectables once, you just have to install it again. A pain? Yes, but it's no reason to downgrade such a great game.
Loved everything about it
I recommend this game!

Love this series and this game did not disappoint. Enjoyed the stories and learning more about the past adventures of characters we have got to know. Some of the puzzles were very challenging. One I never understood even after examining the SG. Overall, a real pleasure to play. Keep them coming please
Two requests: 1. Make sure your map works for current tasks. a couple of times it was off. 2. Don't make it so hard to replay the game including collectables. You have to delete the game and all traces of it off of your system, and then reload.
I recommend this game!

loved the game. played in twice already. not able to solve all puzzles - some were to0 fast for me - but enjoyed in anyway. bought all games in series after. HOGs were super clear. MGs were imaginative - many I had not played before, some favorites

I have always loved this developer and this series. This game has it all: great art, good story line, amazing characters, super mini games, collectables and imaginative HOPS. With a very useful map and strategy guide if you need it.
Plus, it is really, really long. I liked putting together the separate story lines (mom in one is a little girl in another, etc.) I loved seeing characters from other games in the series. Worth every penny, and I paid full price.
Keep them coming Five BN!
I recommend this game!
An investigation that will open up a new world!

Just an awesome game with three chapters. Great story, challenging mini games and interesting HOPs. The art was astounding and the animation wonderful. Small details like the characters visible breathing made a huge difference,
And Laura got a new dress! Put her in sensible shoes next time as you send her into danger. Give her a Swiss Army knife at a minimum!
The monsters were deluxe, and I'm glad that most of them survived.
Keep publishing and I will keep buying.
I recommend this game!

This is my favorite series, and I was thinking there would not be any new ones. Boy was I excited to see this!
This game is excellent from start to finish. The story, the art, the characters, the voices, all wonderful. The MGs are fun and some were very challenging. The HOPS were good too. the SG had a couple of errors, but I worked through them. Loved the collectables and morphs.
Get this game! And please, let there be more from Five BN
I recommend this game!
Embark on a daring rescue through time!

this could be a great game, but there are too may glitches. First, the ability to set up options is not there - you just go to the game. I figured it out and went to settings and selected custom. None of the custom settings worked. I wanted to see on the map if actions were available. Nothing. Second, the mini game instructions were brief, sometimes to the point of non-existence (turn the chips), The solutions were not offered in the guide, so I had to go on guessing. the HOPS were great. The art and crazy characters were great. I'm on one of the last mini games, and it simply does not work. And, you can't skip it. Why?
So, I can't recommend the game until these issues are solved. I hope they are.
I don't recommend this game.
Gather your courage for this mystical journey to a distant world!

love this developer, and iim always happy to see a new game! This was fun, I enjoyed it. would like to see and alternative for the HOPS, but otherwise I was satisfied.
Recommend.
Oh - and ignore some of the poor reviews. Looks like they were having issues with Big Fish, and not the game.
In this remastered classic, reawaken in that mysterious castle, and solve perplexing puzzles to escape!

I really enjoyed this. there were some issues, but not enough to ruin the game. the map, while welcome, was not always accurate. Loved the new collectibles.
I hope you will remaster the rest of the series.
Also, you should consider giving a discount to those players who have already purchased the original game.
I recommend this game!
