As usual, stunning graphics and beautiful settings. Good story line with Dana solving an old murder. Nice puzzles, medium skip, nice music. NO HINTS on this game, so if you havent bought the CE, it can be more difficult. Good length: 6 hours casual. Enjoyable game!
I recommend this game!

This game blew me away. I have been playing it for over 12 hours, and I am still not done. And, I couldnt do all the puzzles within puzzles, but I sure had fun trying. There are even puzzles in the hint book.
Marvelous graphics, and welcome back to the Dalimars.
Not a lot of HOGS, but those are also interactive.
Transporter map, medium skip on puzzles, nice voice overs.
Collectibles and Isis the cat who is your helpmate for those hard to get at places.
Kudos to the producers, Elephant, you have won my game heart once again!
I recommend this game!

This is the best game I have played in a long time. It has everything: many different kinds of HOS; great music and some songs; wonderful puzzles. It is like a story within a story. Sort of fantasy and real life mixed up together. Too many things going on to explain it all, but, enjoyed every minute of the six hours, yes, I said 6 hours, (for a SE!). Mad Head Games, thank you so much for this fun game. Send us more!
I recommend this game!

The best so far, IMO, of this series. President Lincoln asks you to find the treasure hidden by the Kingdom of the Gold Circle, which really existed during the Confederate War. You are sent thru different portals and get to meet the infamous Jesse James and William Quantrill. Great graphics, voice overs and HO's. Good puzzles, and interesting locations to explore. Medium length 3.5 hours on casual.
I recommend this game!

Excellent game. Great storyline: you need to exorcise a demon that was created during the civil war and reunite two lovers. Great graphics. HOS are interactive, clear, and fun. Good and different puzzles, some are pretty hard. You get a lot of cool gadgets to seek supernatural answers. Voice overs good. Really good length for an SE-over 5 hours. Thanks, developers, look forward to seeing more of your games!
I recommend this game!

Loved everything about the game, except the length: 2 hours casual, and I am a slow player.
Great visuals and characters
No music, just sounds of birds and nature
Good storyline
HOS standard
Puzzles good, medium skip
Would recommend only for a daily splash, not as an SE
I don't recommend this game.

Loads of fun to explore London and try to find the hidden treasure of Fitzpatrick McGovern.
A great way to see London's landmarks. Lots of info on the cards you find throughout the game.
Stunning graphics
Great speaking characters
Walk through included
Transport map
Journal
HOS standard, but very clever
Puzzles, medium hard, long skip
Really long: almost 7 hours on casual play
I recommend this game!

Good storyline about the Shade returning in the guise of Fiona's teacher, and magic has to be used to get rid of him.
Great gremlins
Beautiful graphics
Speaking characters
Puzzles-quite a few of these, some hard, long skip
Journal
HOS interactive, but not many of them
Transport map
Good length: about 5 hours casual
More of a fantasy game
SE ends in a cliffhanger. Could be the CE finished the story, or another game is expected to continue the series
I recommend this game!
