Like the added squeal to the Wolf Mysteries but do not love it. I do not remember any Morphing objects or collectibles. So if there were sorry I missed them. The wolf power where the little window in my inventory become locked. I could not figure out why that happen or what the function of it actually was except it would go away when I hit the Wolf eye in my inventory. Maybe I would have more fun if I knew what its purpose was and how to use it.
Game flow was very good along with great Characters. Like some others my person did not talk which bothered me a little. Also one puzzle where you move electrical components. I ended up skipping. I went to strategy guide to figure out just how to move the pieces in the direction wanted. When playing the mini game the pieces would move off the screen and disappear or would not move into position when fallowing strategy guide. I hate skipping puzzle that may be glitchy. Or was it intended to make each unit have different function. Some items you could move up and down. Others would not move but one direction even though the path was clear to move in the opposite direction. Also the object could overlap each other put not pass completely by. Grrr............ Wish the Strategy guide had said or warned that items could be moved off screen if that was a way just to make the game/puzzle harder.
Game had critter action and nice HO's not great. Music and ambiance was good. Still goes on my 2 buy list even with the glitches.
I recommend this game!

Awesome game. Good ambiance. Once I got into the library I had to take the headphones off. The background noise was too Grim for my ears. lol. Game had collectibles characters and puzzle pieces, Great selection of HO's, Cool Characters, Lots to do, good jump map, great game flow, and Morphing objects.
The only thing that confused me is if I remember right Misses Grey is my sister and Mr Grey my brother in-law? The man told me it was in my family line for magic/warlocks such and such. Except I thought I was not blood related to the Greys family tree. Just a in-law. What does everyone else get out of that?
Goes near the top of my to buy list.
I recommend this game!

Great game. Love the opening sequence before you get to the front page. some of the use of items was kinda cool also. Had some sort of collectible and each time I would be clicking on an area of interest and suddenly something would jump to a little window box on right side of tool bar. I clicked on that to see what it might be that I collected and never could figure out how to view it so I would know what I was looking for. It happen to me at least twice. I like it when they enlarge the collectible before it zooms away.
Story line was great with really nice flow to the game. Lots to do and the game kept it interesting. Mix of HO's in the HO. So lots of working HO's finding this and placing it there. The jump map came in very handy this time.This game is defiantly a keeper and goes to the near top of my to buy list.
I recommend this game!

This game had some potential, but cast a shadow in functionality. Their method of how to do a HOP was really good but then I had to fix the ladder in the HO and I could not figure it out. So I hit the hint button and it showed me to fix the ladder and nothing else. It took some doing to realize I needed to open a safe to find the missing board so I could fix the ladder.
Other parts of the game I found frustrating also. I did like the story line and the Characters and there was plenty to do but the flow of game was a tad off kelter for me and a bit of a yawn. It did have a jump map for a SE game which was nice and a good hint button.
All and all just not hitting it for me. Sorry.
I don't recommend this game.

This game was very fun. The Ho's were the shadow type but working shadow type. find the shadow on some items and them use them to find next item. Morphing objects in the HO's. A Ghost finder electrostatic meter. Something like that. Nice little surprise on occasion. Plenty to do with a jump map and collect hearts. Critter action so far is in the form of mechanical eyes. The characters were good and music okay too. Like how the demo ended. N
I would put this game half way up on my to buy list.
I recommend this game!

This game was pretty good. I like collecting the bells, and the HO's had a nice mix in each one. Like starting off with finding several of one thing to obtain that item to open a list.
Characters were good enough, music was good, had a little bit of critter action, lots to do, and nice jump map. This goes on my to buy list.
Wish there had been Morphing objects in this game. Trial was very short but time flew by fast as I played.
I recommend this game!

This game was okay but not great. I like collecting the captain wheels. The HO's were ok. Story line was just okay. Would probably buy it on sale. The game had plenty to do with lots of back and forth so thank goodness for a jump map.
I recommend this game!

Game has a little of everything. Good story line with lots to do. I play on easy mode so it was a good game for kids and beginners. Very nice change up on the HO'S Can not remember if I have ever done one quite the way theirs functioned. Easy breezy game.
This game has decent characters, music, task, critter action in the form of creatures, decent enough music, Morphing objects, collectible characters, and good HO's. This game does not hit me as a great game, but still a good game. Goes mid way range on my to buy list.
I recommend this game!

This game was a really nice addition to their story line. Not as good as earlier games, but plenty to do with good ambiance.
Game had some shadow HO's as well as a few other object finds. More then one morphing objects at most scenes. The game had a nice pace to it and smooth game flow. Did not even check out if there was a journal, or a map, and forgot to visit the picture pieces page I was collecting. So there are collectible pieces folks. Found the path finder a little annoying.
I was really tickled at the patrons who were hiding. Oh the one who was taking my picture. What a hoot. Then to top it off 2 times to fall into a pit. That's just the pits. lol.
This game goes half way near the top of my to buy list.
I recommend this game!

This game was fair. Like many others not their best. I would still buy it though. Story line had a nice flow to it. Characters were good. Nothing screamed at me or made me just so glued to the game that I just had to have more. I was fairly entertained. You collect the Alphabet? Not sure why. Morphing objects in the HO's and a few different styles of HO's.
Sorry to see the Final Interview. It could have gone on sleuthing for news forever as long as fresh ideas were found.
I recommend this game!
