This is a beautiful game as far as graphics go, and it had an interesting storyline. However, it felt like a series of short adventure sections rather than flowing into a long story, and it was way too short. The resolution of the storyline was kind of unsatisfying insofar as, whilst the villain was caught and unmasked, I didn't feel that the damage he'd caused was really resolved in the amount of detail which the lead-up warranted.

This kept me intrigued, and going for quite a while. There was just enough challenge to make it interesting but not frustrating, and I really enjoyed the originality of the HOS scenes - not always just things jumbled around. The graphics were great, and the little dog made things just a little bit more interesting and different. The story, whilst not bad, didn't really grip me, and there could've been more challenge in the minigames, but all in all a good way to spend your time.
The graphics were great, and they did a good job of making this 3D, but almost immediately, it made me nauseous with all the moving around. I can't say much more about this game, because I couldn't stand more than 2 minutes of it. Interesting and different concept, though.
This game was a little too short for me, and it starts off very slowly in the cemetery - it takes a while to really be able to find and use objects, however, once we went into the first ghost's story, it was rather fun.
The graphics are good. It isn't especially difficult, and it ends too quickly, but if you're interested in an easy no-stress game, this isn't bad.
I had a blast with this game. I don't usually go for time management games, but this one had me at the demo. The challenge isn't so much some of the tasks - as eventually you can get them all - it's completing them within the 100 days. It took me about 10 plays through before I got strategy behind them all - plenty of hours of fun.
The graphics aren't especially great, but they really don't need to be. I think the makers can certainly build on what they've done in this game, bring out more relationship building and so on, but I was very glad I bought this one.
I wish I could remember if I got this game on a cheap daily deal, because that's all I'd want to pay for it. My biggest gripe with it is that you can't pick up objects until that objective is open. Bah. Which means sometimes I was clicking at things that should have been useful and not very happy.
Whilst the storyline is OK, it wasn't gripping, and in the end, I just wanted to finish the game and get it over with. The mini games have very little challenge.
Having said all that, it wasn't awful. There was some awesome scenery, and at least it all flowed. The heroine had an amusing attitude. I don't think I'd buy the sequel though, if there is one.
I really liked the time aspect - and how you could change the past. The graphics were beautiful, and I found the story engaging. My biggest gripe was all the HOS which would suddenly reappear. So much running around to find what was new in the game instead of having a natural progression. I eventually switched from expert to normal level as, at least then I could find out where I needed to go, and didn't have to look everywhere.
I expect the collector's edition had more time periods. There was a Moscow addition to the device which never appeared in the game.
And the end was kind of disappointing - to be continued? Did we save him or not?
The graphics are gorgeous in this game, but I found the storyline a bit predictable, and there seemed to be a lot of constructing of objects to do not very much. Meh. There was virtually no challenge in the HOS - in fact, the main level of challenge seemed to be wandering around to find the next HOS.
There were areas/themes which could have been explored more - perhaps this happened in the collector's edition? (I honestly didn't enjoy the game enough to buy it and find out)
My favourite aspect of this game was the originality of the puzzles. There were some that were really original and different.
The graphics were great. My biggest problem was the chopping and changing between the locations - and not that much to do in each one. Not the best game I've ever played, but entertaining enough.
This game is really in a class of its own. The storyline is good (a little creepy), the voiceovers awesome, and the graphics just perfect. It was intuitive enough to keep going, but there was definitely challenge to it. I enjoyed the bonus chapter, but found a lot of going back-and-forth for very little reward. Otherwise, I have no complaints.
