This game was just okay for me, It lacked any "wow" factors. The HO's were interactive meaning you had to finish a circle or put together a couple of items, and they were easy to complete. Puzzles were not complicated, unscramble a picture or connect the plumbing pipes for example. It did have a different map feature that was actually a time portal but after a while it got to be monotonus. Same ole find a handle for the ax, fix a hole in the bucket. The storyling is good, Merlin fighting evil forces.

This game has very good 3D graphics and and has a very good storyline. The only complaint I have in the demo is with the HO scenes. There were some items that were impossible to find. hidden in the dark or vague names like pin is actually a clothespin. The characters are well done and the puzzles simple. I will probably buy just to figure out the identity of the kidnapper.
I recommend this game!

I just finished playing the demo which took less than an hour. This game is packed full of HO scenes some of which requires you to find or uncover objects, but are fairly easy to find. The storyline is good complete with mad scientists, crazed killers and detectives. Puzzles are simple and most items you find are used closeby and you still have to go back and forth to compleye tasks. A fun game to play, but maybe not to purchase.
I recommend this game!

This game is of good quality and they tried to make the game more challenging in the HO scenes. It is an interactive HO, where you find silhouetted objects and use one item to uncover the next. There are many puzzles starting from the very beginning, none of which seemed to hard. Same ole storyline...a detective summoned to find treasures. No morphing objects or special hidden tokens to find. Still enough to keep you interested and a cute newfoundland dog and her puppy to help you.
I recommend this game!

Just completed the demo and I was really becoming engrossed in the game. The storyline so far isn't bad, Clear graphics and just the right amount of HO's and puzzles which are solvable not impossible like some games. An added feature that I enjoy is searching for horseshoes throughout the game and even in HOS! This game is worth buying.
I recommend this game!

This game was just too cheesy for me to enjoy. True the gameplay was a bit different than most games, but not necessarily better. The only thing I liked was the feature of finding origami items throughout the game, I didn't even finish the demo!
I don't recommend this game.
The family saga continues when your nephew Brandon encounters the mysterious Stone Queen in a lonely mountain town.

Just played the demo and when it expired I was truely surprised I had been playing for an hour, I was so engrossed in the game moment. I was playing in advanced mode and I enjoyed the HO's and the puzzles that were different than the same old same old in a lot of games. Bottom line...my expectations are high and this game will be added to my inventory.
I recommend this game!

The game itself has very good grapics, and the puzzles are easy. There are a lot of HO's and they are easy as well. There is a lot of collecting and back and forth dispursement of items (more than one item needed in most) but a map is available for traveling. It is an entertaining game but not very challengeing and I became a little bored by the end of demo.
I recommend this game!

I have a very high standard on HO games and believe me you'll enjoy this game. I don't have any complaints either because this game was well done, I even read through the "trivia" in the bonus content which I found interesting. You won't regret adding this game to your inventory, well worth the money.
I recommend this game!

I am very picky about HOS games but this game had me hooked from the very beginning. I love the eerie vibe of the game, the graphics are realistic and the games were different than most and I never got bored playing this Collector's Edition. The bonus chapter did a nice job of tying it all together.
I recommend this game!
