I bought this game, knowing it was a easy game. Sometimes I like to play a easy game that I don't have too think to much. I own 2 or 3 counting this one like that. That was not the problem. I have a new computer that is fast and has lots of space on it so I know it was not my computer's fault. This game was very, very glitchy. My pointer stoped and even disappeared multiple times during the game. I hated that. Also which is a major problem with this game it does not have a wide screen...really guys...this is a CE for goodness sakes. The graphics were good and even the story and music was pretty good...but that troublesome glitchiness was a big negative for me...Now I have a CE game, I probley will not play again. That is a big bummer.
I don't recommend this game.

This is based on the demo only. I thought this game was pretty good. I like the story and the challenge factor but, I thought the graphics were pretty raw. They just were not crisp to me. I thought the HO games were hard to see. I was hitting the hint button often which I never do. I just couldn't see the hidden objects and there is alot of interaction in the HO games so the visual is very important to me. I loved the options on this game but if the graphics are not good. All the bells and whistles you add wil not help. This game is not for me...
I don't recommend this game.

This was a very intertainging game. The storyline was corny but, kept my interest. The art work was top notch. The voice overs were not in sync with the live actors mouths but that just didn't bother me. There was alot of going back and forth in this game, but I find that fun in a game. I thought the hint button helped alot and had no trouble with it. I did like dark dimensions city of fog better but I like this one also. It was a fairly good game and worth the buy...
I recommend this game!

This is based on the demo. I found the game really cute. The artwork is beautiful. I loved the little help guy Rupert. The story was intresting and had me from the very first. There are certain details with this game that I have never seen before. It had alot of action to the game with the story that I really liked. The only reason I am giving it a 4 star is because it was sluggish and glitchy. But other than that I liked this game.
I recommend this game!

This is only based on the demo which was so short it is hard to form a opinion on the game. I thought the game even though was done well, still looked strange somehow. The voice over was out of sync and putting live people among all that artwork just wasn't my cup of tea. The storyline was a little strange too. I thought it was glitchy and the pointer did not move smoothly on the page. I will pass on this game. Sorry this game just did not jump out at me.
I don't recommend this game.

I liked this game very much. The story and visuals were really good. The bonus game was way to short though, if that is why you buy a CE game. The extra cost was really not worth it. I would just wait for the SE if that is one of the draws for your to put out the extra expense. Fun HO and good mini games. all in all a good game to own.
I recommend this game!

I like this game. It tried to have the scary and creep factor, but it was just not all that scary. The artwork was fantastic. I like the voice over in the game. The only thing I really didn't like about this game was the ending. It ends abruptly, makeing the game seem unfinished somehow. The extra game play was very short, and didn't resolve anything. The extra game play on this game was not worth buying the collector's edition if that is why you buy the extra long games. If it would have ended better and the extra game was longer I would say this was a great game, but how it was it was just a ok game.
I recommend this game!

I thought I would really like this game, but it was just ok. I liked the multi HO sparkles, because i like playing the HO part, but really didnt like the mini games. The artwork was pretty and the voice over was pretty good, but only one thing I did hate about this game and any other game that does this, is not being unable to use the hint outside of the HO part makes the game tedious. I had to go online to the walkthrough just to find out were to go next. I perfer hint use through out the game just incase I need to know were to go. But all in all the game was fair...
I recommend this game!

This was a awesome game. I loved the story. Beautiful art and colors on this one. I thought the mini games were challenging and fun. A lot of moving back and forth on this game, so you got to stay on your toes and pay attention. The extra bonus game was somewhat silly and I didn't care to much for it, but the main game was a fun time, and also it was a long game which is a plus.
I recommend this game!

This was a good game. beautifly done. The HO games were fun and clear. The game was long, which was a good thing. The only thing that was kind of crazy, was the ending. It was not very good. It stops quickly and abruptly.
