I am having fun playing this game. I do give the Devs. credit for changing up their usual HO's and Puzzles. It makes the game play refreshing. The graphics are good. The voices in my opinion seem almost- not quite- monolistic. But it does not take away from the game. There are different type puzzles some very easy and some take the use of the old brain cells....at least for me. I actually like going from room to room in the Old Hotel. Wondering what I will see or find next. I bought this game after playing the demo...so try the demo and see what you think.
I recommend this game!

Domini was at one time a favorite Dev. of mine...not so much anymore. This game was too cartoonish. The graphics were less than stellar and the story line left alot to be disired. They have the same things to do in this game that they have had in most of their games lately. It seems as if you played one game your played them all. There are very few new ideas used in this game. I strongly suggest that you play the Demo before purchasing. I will recommend this game because it is not a horrible game just the same old same old.
I recommend this game!

I have played 45 minutes of the demo and that is more than enough for me. The story line is horrible in my opinion. This is NOT a halloween kind of game. It is a disturbing psyco illogical hodge-podge of garbage. The girls voice is grating and obviously the mother is insane. All I can say is please try the demo before you purchase. It might be to your liking but beware upon playing.
I don't recommend this game.

I have never played a RPG before and was not sure what to expect. Penn Mom's review helped me alot. This is a different type game for me but I am loving it. I am an intermediate player, so it is taking me a while to get the hang of it, but as I progress and in some cases digress I understand it a little more each time and it does not get old because there is a lot to do and quite a few choices to be made...be they good or bad. If you want to try something totally different I say this is the game. The graphics are excellent and I truly like the story line along with all the choices and yes, destroying the bad guys. Give it a shot and see what you think
I recommend this game!

Wow, I am blown away by this game. It has it all. Hidden Objects and Puzzles and Adventure all wrapped up in one beautiful game. The HO's are very well made as are the puzzles and the hint button actually gives you the hint and direction to take. Also the instructions are clear,concise, and if you look carefully almost shows you what goes where. I love that you can interact with just about everything. The graphics are excellent and the scenery makes you feel as if you are on this adventure yourself. Try this game and join us on the adventure of a life time.
I recommend this game!

I have always liked 4 Friends Games and this one does not disappoint. It is a fun game with beautiful graphics. There are new twists to the HO's and some of the puzzles. Yes, it is heavy on the puzzles but they are not real difficult...more fun than anything. I am having a good time trying to figure out who the Phantom really is.For a fun experience with beautiful graphics and good game play, give it a try.
I recommend this game!

I have always liked this series add to that they actually added a story line...a mystery..is fab...but to learn the story you must read and read and read....I feel it would have been so much better if they would have used dialogue.There are new features in this one and I thoroughly enjoyed them. It is a fun game and I had no trouble with the rotating box or anything else in the game. Give it a try and see what you think!
I recommend this game!

This could have been a very good game in my opinion. However, you can only choose from 3 game modes. Novice, Adventure, Challenge...which is not really much of a challenge. It does have 10 collectable elephants (why elephants- I have no idea.) You actually have to click on end to end the conversations you are having with most of the characters only to have to go back later in the game to finish the conversation and then click end again. There is also the back screen between some scenes. The story line really is interesting but well, just try before you buy.
I don't recommend this game.

Yes, it is "old school" but it is fun. I will not go into a lot of detail as Pennmom has done a great job of explaining what the game is about. I will say that it has a jump map and the hint button works great....I tried it just to make sure. The story line has me reeled in hook, line, and sinker. This game is what HOG's used to be. I also have to say that the devs did an excellent job. Try it and see what you think. I am buying it as soon as I am done writing this review. Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

I beta tested this game and could not find anything worth while to crow about, so I thought I would try the demo and see if perhaps I was just having a bad day or just not into any game that day. Well, I have to say, I was spot on for the beta review. This game has such a weak story line and the mini games are somewhat boring. I tired easily of traveling back and forth and well, I leave it up to you to decide.
I don't recommend this game.
