DP has done it again, a very nice game and although I fully enjoyed this game and the game play, I feel this game was a little bit of a let down. The story from previous games of this series was to me far better and held your interest. The graphics were gorgeous and the HO'S were so beautifully done and fun to seek. This is one game I probably will play again and do not get me wrong it is a good game, I guess I just miss some of the previous games and there beauty and wonderful story line. Hats off to this series but please continue to wow us always.
I recommend this game!

Loved this game !! I really enjoyed this game and all the lies ? Princess sure has a life style or does she ? This series has been one of my favorites and this one will not disappoint for sure, the story line kept me interested and Yes it is some story line, loved the HO"S and Puzzles were fairly easy even for me. I hope this is not the end of this series. Although this is not the game for all, it is however a beautiful game and if you love this series you will for sure want to try it out.
I recommend this game!

Up all night, so early this am, saw this game and bought it, did not even try it, The minute I saw Dark Parables I knew it was a buy and wow I was not disappointed one single bit. Not the story I was read when little, but Love the darker side to it. Jack ? wow love the way they bring back characters from different games, this time even Jack is really not the good guy !! Great game, great fun, puzzles, beautiful hidden object scenes as usual. Cannot wait for the next one to come out.
I recommend this game!

Storyline is nice, HO's were okay and puzzles ? simple but way to many for me anyway. It was kinda fun till towards the end of the game, then blunt endings I am not fond of period. Like they ran out of time and just cut off the end. Again it was okay for a afternoon of something to do. I doubt I would replay it honestly.
I don't recommend this game.

After playing the very short demo, this game left me with no desire to buy and see what was next in the storyline. Actually glad the demo was short. This game is a no buy for me and actually kinda disappointed in the developer.
I don't recommend this game.

Did not care for the game at all, why ? Games are listed as hidden object games, but this is a puzzle game, never even finished the game, when are we going to see hidden object games again ?
I don't recommend this game.

After playing the very very short Demo, this is surely a no buy for me, as the demo does not take into much at all to decide if worth the price to purchase, Ho were nice and graphics were also nice but 90 min demo where ? If you claim a 90 min demo then for the heaven sake do it, a for sure no buy for me, sorry
