I really thought this was a very nice family xmas game, We have played it now twice !! Yes it is a xmas game and yes there is a evil power going on and yes there are plenty of HO"s and other puzzles, yes there pretty easy. The game is about sisters and how one disappeared. You must find her and what you find is not what you thought at all. Okay so same ole story with a holiday whim, I thought this game was great for the entire family to play together, Evil, a little magic, and plenty to do as a family. I love to play with my grandchildren and this is one of those games. that is not to hard for them to take over. Great game and Yes holiday game and yes it was fun !! If you have children or grand kids you wont be disappointed in buying this game.
I recommend this game!

I can honestly say I enjoyed this game alot. You are called by the king who dearly loves his wife and child but his wife cannot speak and he needs a healer !! The king's mother is helping you and you start in but wait a minute !! The baby is kidnapped ? and a series of events start to unfold. The story line is very interesting and who stole the baby and why ? So this is where you start your search. The Ho's are interesting and I can honestly say there fun, not typical and the music is nice also. There are swans but dark swans with evil and white swans ? why are they fighting ? The scenes are very very nicely done and I played in Casual mode and found this game outstanding in so many ways, in fact played it twice. Hats off to the people who made this game possible, we need more like it !!
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed the game, lovely storyline and very interesting play, puzzles were okay. You learn your spells and use them often, you are there to save the day but do you ? This game kept you busy and searching for, which is the way a game should be, hint button did not take to long to reload and again if you love a good and beautiful visual and enjoy the magical games by all means buy this one, in fact I am playing it again as I truly found the game a full length CE

Thought I would try this game only to find out, when you pick items up cannot retrieve, unlocked tried everything but cant see or pick items stored in tray, shame would of loved to try it and see for myself if interested. Please make sure people can play a game when they have a lg size monitor, mine is a 27" and should not matter

Just finished playing this game, not your regular Rapunzel story and who knew she was being controlled by evil ? Many of the characters from previous Dark Parable games are involved, I really enjoyed this, Puzzles are about the same as all Dark parable games, HO"S are gorgeous as always and plenty of them as always, This once again is a beautiful game with awesome graphics, Love Dark Parable games and cannot wait till another one is unveiled !! What Evil will lurk again ?
I recommend this game!

This is a okay game to me, you are the detective as usual and helping the princess, the storyline is okay not real seat rising or nothing, HO's are good, Friends along the way are great help but the game is short to me for a CE but again I did enjoy the fairly short play and will play again. I should mention this is a great game to play with young children also, which I really like and maybe should be a shorter to keep there interest however I do not think this is what they mean by CE, Bonus game is okay also and short.
I recommend this game!

I have played this game twice now !! What a great family game and enjoyed the characters and the plot to the storyline. The Princess and the hero game. But the plot leads to some new news about the bad guy, which I found fun for the entire family, Nice visuals and HO'S were fun too, I can see us playing this game in our top ten when my grand kids arrives soon.Puzzles are not difficult but we enjoyed them. So storyline, puzzles, Ho's and the wonderful ending buy this game you wont be sorry if you love a good fairytale. Great job to the developers and please keep this type of game coming, a must buy in our household.
I recommend this game!
