ERS is very faithfull to all the previous games - they make nice graphics, nice HO's and a gameplay that is very easy to follow. ERS games must be all beginners favourite.
The HO's are easy, the mini-games are easy - like dressing 4 gines, where the clothes only fits the right place.
There is a lot of handholdning in what to use where...... like when you are told that a hammer would be nice - and even the back of a gun can be used.
Beginners might love it, but more experienced players will have to look very hard to find the expected challenge.
Compared to the many great games that have come out lately, it's lacking:
- map
- challenge in HO's (interactivity and variation)
- challenge in minigames
- challence in the use of items
It seems as if ERS wants to aim on the beginners-group, and if so - they do it very well.
There is nothing new under the sun - and I am really beginning to believe, that ERS is happy with things the way they are. Meaning.. they don't change or devellope anything at all.
I finnished the demo in 40 mins without skipping any minigames, cut-scenes or dialouge, and I only touched the hintbutton once to check out that it did as always in ERS-games = telling me when there is nothing to do in areas.
Am curious to hear from others how long this game is.
Considering, that this is a very good beginners game, I have given this game a 3-star rating.
I'll recommend this game to beginners, but experienced players should wait for a DD or a sale, and play it as a rainy afternoon cheer-up game.
I recommend this game!

Many have described the game so very well, so the only reason why I rush to make further comments is, that this game has the most beautiful HO scenes I have EVER seen !!!
I have played hundreds of adventure games, but no other game has impressed me this much. Every single HO scene is pure art......
Tthe game is developing the "helper-in-game" angle - and it is very well done. Just can't wait to see the next one :-)
The humor is well done - undertoned and never desturbs the gameplay - I really laughed out loud several times.
Loved the game, and will give it the best of recommendations !!!!!!!
I recommend this game!

Based on the trial I have to say that you never waste money buying an Elephant Game....
Allways a storyline that holds, allways many places to go and a lot to do everywhere.
Even though the HO's are on the easy side, they do have some interaction
Good stuff :
- Transporter map
- Minigames that require som thinking
- Lots of places and a lot to do
- Nicely drawn (not breathtaking like "The Lord of Statues")
- Collect weird animals
- .... and you get the cutest little helper :-)
Played with the sound off = no comments on that
Don't know about the lenght, but Elephant is usually good for hours of gameplay
The hints were almost too helpfull, but I guess there is less handholdning in the harder modes (did casual in the demo)
Definitely a buy for me - and for people who don't have all the other Mystery Tracker games..... it's a really good deal to get the others to day for only 2,99 as they are all well worth the money.
I'll recommend this game !!

Loved the Title, loved the theme and loved the first cutscene.... very promising, but that was about it !!
Even though the game is beautifully drawn, one very soon get the feeling, that this is a very, very old game - feels clumpsy while playing.
I finnished the demo in 28 mins - and I didn't skip any minigames. I checked the walkthrough, and realized, that the demo is almost half the game... Come on.... who would pay for a game that last about an hour ???
I general... a very easy game, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as there are so many good games in the pond.
My Overall rating is given for the storyline and the drawings..... but the game itself hardly deserve the one star I rated the funfactor.
Forget this game and move on !!!!
I don't recommend this game.

Big Fish has so many exellent games - so I recomment that you buy one of those and skip this one.
Based on the trial..... this is one of the most boring games I have ever played. Actually.... this game feels like an insult compared to the many games with good grafics, storylines and challenge that BF has come up with.
Basically one gets 3 easy HO-scenes followed by an over-easy mini-game. Then 3 Ho's followed by... etc. etc....
I admit to have had troubles finding items a couple of times, but only because of poor descriptions - like when a tennisball turn out to be a basketball... really ??? !!!
I'd say... if - and only if... this game could be of interest, it could be for beginners who have never tried HO-games before - and even then I could mention at least 20-30 games to prefer over it.
All in all: a waste of time and a waste of money - even as a DD.
I don't recommend this game !

This game really deserves a try......
Everything is well known, but yet so different ..... in the good way.
The storyline is very interesting, and the minigames, the HO's and the way you navigate in very well-drawn scenes is put together in a nice and and eye-pleasing way.
Some minigames are rather challenging... fx.... not that easy to top 7 items to enter the window. Was fun though.
As usual... I would have liked a map, but nevertheless - all in all a good game.
I only played the demo, and even if I liked the game, I think I'll wait for the SE.... or reviews that can give me proper informations on how how long this game is.
I can't make comments on the sound, as I always turn it off.
I recommend, that you try the demo - this game most certainly is worth a go !!!
I recommend this game!

Even though the developers are trying out a Sci-Fi theme, they end up making a boring, very easy and a waste-of-time-game.
This review is based on the demo.
There are many places to, but backtracking is easy as there is a rather good map.
It is a drawn game - fairly good, but as only the main-items are detailed, I'd call it avarage.
Some might like the storyline, but as I chose to skip the boring cut-scenes I very soon ended up doing this and that only travelling by the map - I realized that I (for once) didn't really care about the story
Good parts:
- The items are crisp, clear and easy to find
- There is a very good map that takes you wherever you want very easy & it shows where there are things to do
Bad parts
- Many and loooong cutscenes - I soon decided to skip them as I didn't really get any useful information... and the grafics were not pretty enough to make them enjoyable
-The minigames are easy - almost ridicilous
-I just hate when HO-scenes do not give you the full item-list at once. It's so annoying.
I played with the sound off, so the medium rating on the sound/visual is given just to be fair
The demo is about half the game, and I did the full demo in 47 mins, so I suppose the full game will take me a little over 2 hours ... BUT... if you watch all the cutscenes and read the newspapers and files closely... maybe double or tripple the time.
Most certainly not a game for me, but children or beginners might like the game... try it out for yourself before buying !!!!
I don't recommend this game.

I bought the game as an extra deal ...... huge mistake !!!
Only 2 things are very good:
1. It's a very short game
2. I don't have to play this game ever again
Boring, repetitive, easy and was the same over and over again: 4-6 scenes with find the differences + 5 coins, then 1 scene with find 4 items + collect the same 5 pieces of the same mask.... And that is about it....
I wont recommend this game to anyone - not even beginners
I don't recommend this game.
