I must say - Try this game! It is not what you would think based on the title. It is a fun game, full of puzzles than are so enjoyable. The story held my interest and I just have to find out how it all ends. MadHead games has done it again.
I recommend this game!

Mad Head just keeps getting better and better, if that is possible. This is a gem of a game. I loved meeting up with old friends and meeting new ones.....Good looking ones...Youzer! This game has it all. It only took me about 15 mins. of play to decide to purchase it. Try it and you will have the time of your life.

Do not be put off by the negative reviews. Try this game and you will love it. The sound and visuals are excellent. The story line reels you right in. It is a must play to see what happens next.The puzzles are fantastic as are the HO scenes and there are a lot of each of them. Music and sound effects...WOW! Try this game and you will soon own it. A ***** star game.
I recommend this game!

This is the 2nd game I have tried from 2 Desperados and where this one is much better than the 1st one, it is boring. The story line is good but to have to click on questions you have to ask, What are we, in junior high school? Who ever 2 Desperados are they have the potential to make a really good game. This story line has so much going for it but it falls flat.
I don't recommend this game.

If you are into solving mysteries and figuring out mini-games,along with hidden objects this is the game for you. I loved it.It is a fairly long game and holds quite a few surprises.A lot of thought went into the making of this game. Icarus has done an excellent job and I hope they come out with more games. I love each game they have made. Keep them coming. Play this game and have a BLAST!
I recommend this game!

My review is based on the entire SE...The graphics are very good. I actually loved the story line-even though it could not possibly have happened the way it was presented. But it just did not matter because this is a fun, fun game. I won't go into the details, as everyone else has, but if you are looking for an entertaining and somewhat challenging game, this is the one!
I recommend this game!

My review is based on the free trial but I just purchased the SE as I do not need all the bells and whistles they offer in the CE these days. I play to relax and take my time playing, as I do not want to miss anything. This game actually made me LOL at times especially when I tried an inventory item where it could not be used. The dialogue was hilarious. The story line has me hooked. I cannot wait to see where it takes me. The graphics and music are also excellent. I gave a 4 star because I thought some of the puzzles could have been a little harder....although, they are not real easy either. Try this game....You will be in for a SHOCK!
I recommend this game!

This is actually a good game, but a HUGE drawback for me is no map! The hint button simply says nothing to do in this area. I do not even need a map to tell me where something needs doing. Just a map of the game is helpful to me. I guess that is because this is an older game. The story line is good although I cannot figure out what some of the puzzles have to do with the story. I purchased it with a free game so why complain. I just wish it was easier to navigate.
I don't recommend this game.

Truly a fun game. The graphics are good. I usually turn the sound off, but left it on for this game as the voices and music is quite good. Have played the other Charon games but this one is (in my humble opinion) is the best of all of them. Give it a try you will be surprised from the story line to and including the puzzles!
I recommend this game!

This is the first game of this series I have ever played and it just did not grab me. The hidden object games were very, very easy..too easy. The story line left me somewhat confused. I got it, but could not always figure out what to do next. Many items were too small and somewhat hard to locate where they were and what to do with them. But that is just me. Give it a try. See what you think. Happy Gaming!
I don't recommend this game.
