The story is rock solid, the graphics and FX are amazing. This game is A+ for all audiences. I played in hard mode and loved every aspect of the game play. I am very picky.

One of those games for kids. There is no challenge at all. It is very simple and short. Bonus chapter made my day. It is way nicer than the main gameplay.
I recommend this game!

This is a A+ game - did not like the ending though. I thought it was unfair to end it like that. All games from this producer are high class - this one will be a must play for 2012 for sure.

This game started real slow - everything was super simple and linear. I was about to give up because I just felt it was built for kids even though I was playing in Advanced mode. The last quarter of the game was much more advanced storylne/gameplay wise. The bonus chapter was even better.
Thank you very much for a good game.

It is a very simplistic annoying game with very poor story line and linear game play. HO scenes annoy the most. If you decide to play make sure you are ready for a lot of back and forth movement and unexpected HO scenes you have to hunt for. Very boring average gameplay with a lot of obvious English language problems. The ending frustrates the most. They could have spent another day to make the final video scene longer than 5 seconds.
I don't recommend this game.

Everything is excellent in this game but the mini puzzle games. They are way too easy. Other than that I'd say it is a hit #1 for months. Guys did a superb job!
Thanks!!

This game could have been a hit but it missed on a bunch of critical points:
1. It is impossible to complete in hard mode - the zoom cursor is all over the place so you do not know where the objects are you need to pick up. Basically everything you click on is a zoom in cursor.
2. No puzzles at all. There were only 2 types - those were for kids
3. Poor story line. Basically you do not do anything else by going back and forth and trying to locate HOS because there nothing else to do.
4. What is the matter of having tons of boxes and shelves that need keys? No better idea of how you can hide items
I was very please with the graphics and the music. Other than that there is nothing I can really advertise.
And please remember - RED WINE does not burn. It cannot catch fire.
I have completed the game in 5 hours. 3 stars is fair mark for it.
I don't recommend this game.

Forget what all those "one star" people say about this game. I just completed the game for THE SECOND time because it is a true bestseller. Not that complicated but the hardmode will get you started. Thank you Ears!
I recommend this game!
