ICK!! They say you can't cure stupid & this game proves it. I'm uninstalling it as fast as I can!!

Review based on full demo. Slow moving & boring. The story premise sounded like it should be entertaining but unfortunately that was not the case. No strategy guide. The music was annoying. I was able to find the clovers but never did find anymore ravens after the first one. Basically it was a very dull game that did not live up to its hype. Definite NO BUY for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on full demo. I love solitaire games & after all of the glowing reviews I was sure that I was going to love it. Boy was I ever wrong!! The story & graphics are very good BUT the music was atrocious & the game was so very B O R I N G. The first HOS game you had to match what was in the inventory with the cluttered, teeny, tiny objects in the junk pile. The second HOS was the usual find thing in the junk pile with 2 interactive things to find. At that point my trial mercifully ended!! The card games just repeat over & over in a never ending loop. If you miss a play you cannot go back & there does not seem to be any award for perfect games or having a long run of cards. Cannot tell you what a disappointment this game is. A definite NO BUY....
I don't recommend this game.

Based on 15 min demo as it was all I could take! Graphics are cartoonish & music is abominable. The plot had no rhyme or reason & the hint button was a joke. After wandering around the game for 15 min I performed a mercy killing on the game & pulled the plug!! It's true that you can't cure stupid & this game proves it. A definite no buy...
I don't recommend this game.

Based on demo only: Same old ghost, spirits, dragon genre. Nothing new. Have the devs no imagination??? Same old graphics, cluttered junk pile HOS & VO's. Got past the opening scene to the city square when the game deteriorated to a wonky, uncontrollable cursor which included using the guide. I was not able to use the bucket of water in the inventory because as soon as it came near the fire it went back into the inventory instead of dousing the flames. At that point I got out of the game. The Elephant should lower his trunk in shame for the AWFUL clunker that has been passed off as a game. A definite NO BUY. Don't even waste your time on the demo!!
I don't recommend this game.

Slow, tedious & the game never engaged me. I tried to like it but just couldn't make myself. Graphics & music were ok but storyline is a very familiar one & HOS are the usual junk pile with some interaction thrown in. Was VERY happy when the demo hour ended. A definite NO BUY for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on demo: I actually liked this game in lieu of the "dreck" that BF games has been coming out with lately. Artwork is good & not cartoonish as some games have been lately. VO's are character appropriate & the music isn't overpowering. Hint button seems to fill up quickly. The HO screens are still junk piles but you can find everything....eventually! The puzzles are somewhat different than the usual connect electrical wires or slide bolts to move an object outside of the box. The storyline is still similar too sooooo many others.
It seems the devs have a dozen or so storylines that they just revamp over & over again. How about some originality with the storylines??? Perhaps a contest among the devs who can think "outside the box" & come up with a game that does NOT include witches, demons, lost/dead people or time-travel etc. Just want to encourage the devs to think creatively!
I recommend this game!

Based on demo. The drawings were cartoonish. I prefer more lifelike looking/acting characters. VO's were appropriate. Story was simple & plodding. Not very challenging but all in all not TOO bad of a game. Good game for a wintery/raining day. Caveat: Try game for yourself before buying.
I recommend this game!

Based on demo. Graphics are cartoonish & the actors voice for the doctor is much too young sounding for the character portrayed. The game just plodded along without getting anywhere fast. Plot was a familiar one & just plain boring.
I don't recommend this game.

Good news: Game is free to download. Bad news: Everything else. Even though game is free you are "encouraged" to buy tokens. You also have to sign in & play on line against other players. (Something I NEVER do). The games were all jumbled together & some had locks on them. I am not terribly astute at playing casino games & nowhere did I find instructions to help me. If you play well with others & understand the ins/outs of casino games you will probably enjoy this game. It's just not for me.
I don't recommend this game.
