The Secret Orders - are some of my favorite games. They are challenging, difficult, make sense and are just generally fun to play. This is the flat out opposite! I did purchase the whole game so I could see - and the fact is that Sunward has ruined the secret order games! There is too much color, the hidden object games are just thrown together, the characters don't seem real as they do in the old games. All I can say is just wow, way to ruin great games!
I don't recommend this game.

I played the demo on this one and all of the rest that big fish has made available. These games are the best, and IMHO should be the game of the year. The graphics are amazing, the story line well thought out, and the developers clearly put alot of thought into all of the scenes! Congrats developers!

IMHO this is a game that qualifies for game of the year. It has a story line that is well thought out, the visuals are stunning and the puzzles and hidden objects are difficult but entertaining!
I recommend this game!

Darkness and Flame is the type of game that I would like to see Big Fish have more of. The HOG's all require thinking, and the puzzles are primo!
Great job, BIg Fish!

I like games like this, they make you think and provide a challenge that is outside a normal hidden object game.
Meanwhile - does any one know where the vial is?
I recommend this game!
