I have never heard of the game dev, Play Favorite Games, but I see many positive reviews for their second game in the series, so I decided to buy both. This game takes place in the medieval era, which I like. There are knights everywhere, occassional demons (and they're scary too!), some HOG scenes, more adventure. If only they make the screen wide automatically, they will get another star, but the music itself gets on my nerves after a while, it doesn't seem they have many variety of background music. The hint and skip buttons refill quickly, which I like. Length of game is good although a bit short in my opinion, there're only 4 chapters plus one bonus chapter. Now I have finished this game, I can't wait to play the second one.
I recommend this game!

Whether this game is the continuation of the first Shaolin Mystery series, I don't know, but I still find this game so great. There is no voice over this time, which feels a bit weird, but the graphic, the scenes, are very Chinese and orient, which I like very much. I have been to the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an and Shaolin Temple so this game is like a nostalgic memory to me (although this game depicts the warriors bad), Love all the scenes, HOG items and puzzles. They are all great. Can;t wait if there's another game in the series. Will definitely buy them in an instant!

The fact that this game was made by a Chinese company, made it full of Chinese details and with correct pronounciation of names in Chinese. I feel like I am in a kungfu movie, where we go through ancient Chinese villages and confront the emperor, which is awesome. There is no map, but it's not used if there is little backtracking. The HOG games are bit of piles but they're true to the orient so it was great! The cut scenes voice over is the only one that could be improved. There is this bass sound and the woman who narrates it, talk very fast. However other than this, I found this game flawless. So glad I bought this one!
I recommend this game!

I like this game among all others Insider Tales series.. the story doesn't drag, there are several cities in Europe where the story takes place and the puzzles sometimes difficult. Too bad the game is very short. If you have an SG at hand, you might finish this game in 2 hours. However it might be difficult without an SG because the items in HOG can be small, well hidden and the hint button itself recharges slowly. This game is made by the developer who made Nightmare Realm series. If you are new to HOG game, this one is for you.
I recommend this game!

I have the WP: Broken Tune but there was a problem with it that I couldn't play it. Now I'm hoping that this game works and it does, so I truly love it. For an SE, this game exceeds in everything, if only the screen is wide and there is map. this game will really be on the top. Nevertheless, the hint is useful (and so cute, too!) so I don't mind it much. Nice story, if you're afraid of clowns, the bad guy here will really give you nightmares. The voice overs are good and convincing and I truly feel scared. Definitely an enjoyable game!
I recommend this game!

Bought this game not knowing that it would crash. I only could play until level 4 before the game crashes and won't revive. I read that other users experience the same although they have reinstalled the game. Guess I would never be able to finish this game.
On the other side, the game has better interface, but same music (very minimal like the first one, so it's like a silent game), with more voice overs. Hint slowly recharges and not so helpful. Don't know what happens next because the game closes before I can find out what happens.
I don't recommend this game.

This game has all the good things of CE (despite no extras), but the length, the story line, graphics, exceed many CE's developers and for this price, it is really a good deal. The story about Halloween, although it's long past, is still good to be a game. The stmosphere of the game is creepy, dark, but the graphic is crisp. There is no need to use SG because the map is interactive and useful (think Alawar's) and the dialogue between characters reminds me of Elephant's. There is voice over, although just in the cut scenes. The problem is that some of the cut scenes don't work, it is just pitch black with caption and it happens four times in the game. I don't really mind, it's just 15-30 seconds scenes anyway and it doesn't take all the goodness in this game. Those who like creepy games, this game is recommended.
I recommend this game!

From all other Freeze Tag games, I think this one is the best, although I see there is no hint button and I have to check the walkthrough several times. There is a map but not interactive. Skip button is super slow in charging, which is really a pain. But the game is nice, good voice overs although sometimes a bit cheesy, nice music, good scene and graphic (very France!) and nice storyline. Not sure about the ending, I don't really get it. But a good game nonetheless. I spent around 3 hours playing it, the second and third chapters were the longest and the last two chapters were finished in just 30 minutes. If you would like to buy this game, I suggest you to try the demo first and judge it from there.

I bought this game without realizing there's no 1. Oh well. But after playing Vanished in Rome, this game is advancing in terms of interface and game play, which is a good thing. Some mini games cannot be skipped so we really have to think (for me, I use the walkthrough). Good, nice graphic, will be better if there's voice over.. Nice scenes of Greece and Rome, hope we can see more like this game in future!
I recommend this game!

I like Insider Tales: Casanova so I bought this one.. however this is a step backward, there are lots and lots of HOG scenes and it's getting repetitive that it's boring. Some of the items have same name but the game only recognize one so it's misleading sometimes. The background music reminds me of Agatha Christie games, which I like. The game, to my surprise is a bit long, but maybe because I have difficulty finding an item. If you are new to HOG games, you might like this one.
