Big Fish, you outdid yourselves! This game is so much fun and flows like a river! As usual, I'll leave the details to those reviewers who take the time to do so and do it well. The gameplay is excellent as far as I'm concerned. To some the puzzles and mini-games may seem childish, but not to me. They are innovative, clever, creative and enjoyable to complete. The minigames within the hidden object scenes were awesome. Some were thought-provoking and some were easy. But the difference with this game is that IT IS DIFFERENT from other games I've played, and that's refreshing for a change. I think we need more developers to get on the band wagon and take some tips from these folks. They could learn a thing or two from them!
You will have to go back n' forth but I don't mind that as much because the flow is so great and the steps to take were logical. I looked forward to completing the tasks on hand. It's not a drudgery for me. There were some items that didn't appear to be what I thought they were but the whole point is to have fun, and Legacy: Witch Island 2 fit the bill for me.
The graphics are wonderful--visually sound--a nice balance of color; the music is great; voiceovers are good. I can't complain. Bravo, developers! I highly recommend this game!

The Sorbonne is magnificent but this game is not what I expected. I feel as though I've been playing forever, and I'm bored to tears. Too many artifacts, too many stones and skulls, and to be honest, I really want to see more of Paris. EIPIX graphics are usually tops, and though this game has some nice artwork, something is lacking.
The gameplay, the minigames are meh!!! The storyline is meh! The flow is not that great, in my opinion. This game just ain't cutting it for me! I like EIPIX but I expected so much more from them. I'm playing the CE version and hopefully, this game will get better, but at this point in time, I'm having doubts. Play the demo and decide for yourself. I still recommend it because its EIPIX.

The wild, wild west! Not as wild as I had thought it would be but this game had some charm really. Nice rustic scenes of a ghost town. Just finished playing this SE version and I have to say it had its moments. Reminds me of the games of old. The mechanics of the game was pretty cool actually. I had to click my mouse several times though to complete the task but all in all this was not a bad game. A short one at that and a very abrupt ending. Some of the voiceovers did not fit the character but they were okay. Sound effects were cool. Artwork was okay--simplistic. Good map and hint button; and pretty cool hidden objects--nothing to write home about though. I would still recommend this game. A no brainer and quick.

Considering what I had been playing previously, I'm giving this wonderful game a straight five-star rating! Bravo, Grandma Studios developers. True, the puzzles and mini-games were easy but they were very clever and delightful to play. I love Grandma Studios--they are attentive to detail, artwork is snap-on, the mechanics-structure-organization of their games is one of the best around. The storyline was okay. I enjoyed saving those trapped in the stories. I was able to use the inventory items pretty quickly. There was no map which would have been more helpful, but all in all I'm not the least bit sorry that I bought this game! Collecting the morphing objects, the dragonflies, and a bonus game not to mention unlocking a hidden chapter. I felt I got a whole lot of bang for my buck out of this game! Loved the flow of the game, the music, the voiceovers. Great all around. Yes, I definitely recommend this game.

Good mystery to solve, I'll give it that! I just completed the SE version of this game and it's not bad actually, but not good enough to warrant a 4 or 5 star rating,in my opinion.
I'm disappointed in the fact that there weren't more bells and whistles considering the collaboration of the two developers for this project. The HOPS were boring and old-school; the mini-games were okay, better than some. I liked the storyline; collecting the evidence was real cool, but I'm sorry to say I couldn't take the back n' forth business once again, and the ridiculous tasks thrown at us.
To me, the flow of the game was poor. I was getting bored retrieving items that took forever to complete. All elementary! However, this game had it's brilliant moments, thus, I'm giving it a 3.50 star rating.
The voiceovers were good--some were better than others; graphics the same; lots of tasks to perform, but again, some were amusingly ridiculous to complete plus the fact you had items in your inventory that seemed to have lingered there for an eternity. The map was great and you have a good hint button.
I do recommend this game. Try it or buy it. I'm not sorry that I bought it. It just wasn't a 'wow' factor for me!

I have to say that these developers are pretty good and they have great potential but they need to improve on a few things. I just finished the SE version.
The graphics were really good; many of the objects were foreign to me but I'm used to that. But some of the tasks were senseless to me. The music and chorus were wonderful and I enjoyed that a lot.
What I didn't like was the strategy of the game--the same old amulets, runes; mini-games where you had to find the rune that didn't appear on the opposite side. Those are so boring, that I decided to skip a couple. I hardly ever skip puzzles or mini-games. The HOPS were okay, nothing to write home about.
The flow of the game was not that great to me. I'll use the dungeon scene as an example. I managed to escape but ended up going back to it at least 3 times. This is senseless to me and quite frustrating. Complete the scene and move on. I also had to click several times on an object to complete it. If you didn't click on the right spot, it wouldn't work. Very frustrating and that takes the joy out of game playing for me. Plus you had to find several items in other areas to complete one object. Another frustration for me. I realize this is often the case in many games but this was overkill.
The voiceovers were good; the storyline was meh! The characters were good-looking. This game had some pretty neat moments but not enough for me to rate this game any higher than 3 stars. I wish these developers well. They need to work on the momentum and strategy. Get the glitches out as well. Going back to a dangerous spot over and over again is silly and illogical.
The puzzles and mini-games were so-so. I was becoming a little bored but then a ghost appeared named Gradlon! He piqued my interest at least for a moment!
I still recommend the game. Try it out first. It just didn't float my boat.
I recommend this game!

I'm giving this game a 3-star all around. Wasn't bad but there was no logic to many of the tasks. The fact that I had to take 3 to 5 steps to complete an item is ludicrous. I honestly do like these devs. Always have and always will, but I think they can do a whole lot better.
I completed the entire CE version and the game does have a lot to offer. It had its moments but with all due respect, the wow factor wasn't there for me, sorry to say.
Also, returning to the same scenes over and over again gave me a headache. Good hint button though. Nice map. But this back n' forth business was silly and made no sense to me. You go through the trouble of nearly killing yourself to get to a destination and to have to return to the previous areas more than once is ludicrous! I thought the gameplay lacked originality. The flow was fair at best.
There's an item that was stuck in the tree for the longest time. Three to four scenes later is where you'll find the object to get it down! I could have used a long branch from that same tree. Not so here!
Also, I was getting a little tired of finding several pieces for strange gadgets. The HOPS were mediocre; the mini-games were okay. Believe it or not, I really do like Elephant Games but I think they need to improve their strategy.
The graphics were fine, but I was growing weary of some of the gloomy, cob-web scenes, debris, and the good, old zipper pull. Ugh! Morphing items were cool; postcards were neat. Voiceovers were good; storyline was interesting. I still recommend this game. Try it or buy it, it's up to you.
I recommend this game!

I love Domini Games developers and this SE game is right up my alley. I am half-way through it and am loving every minute of it. Yeah, you've got some corny tasks once again, where you have to go through all the hoops and bounds to complete a task and only to come up with lock pick or whatever, but the tasks are so cleverly done that I don't mind it at all. There are mini-games within mini-games, which can be challenging but not difficult at all and are so much fun. I'm actually having a blast!
The graphics are wonderful but I'm hoping I'll see more colors and scenery. I love the special effects and the sound effects a whole lot. Also, if you click on certain areas in the scene you will get a reaction. It's an added touch! Very cool! Love these developers! They are top notch! They've got a great sense of humor as well!
The voiceovers are great especially the voiceover for Sabastian Fleming, the dead director. What a riot! Sabastian's ghost feeds off your fears. He's looking for that special closeup; that perfect reaction!
The storyline, which I don't need to get in to, is not that unusual but I have to find Maya and her colleagues which takes place in this theatre. They've suddenly disappeared!
Try the demo and see what you think. I love this game; it's refreshing to play a game that is intelligently thought out. Well done devs! Well done! I highly recommend this game!

I do love Elephant Games developers and always will but this CE version, though not bad, was not of the same quality as their previous games. It had its moments, but the best part of the game was being able to change the past. You're Anna and you go back in time to basically change drastic events. And I didn't need a time machine to get me there.
I just completed the entire CE version. I wasn't wowed by the game. After you complete the Bonus Game you can then access the Secret Room to find morphing objects in various scenes you have frequented before. I wasn't pleased with how teeny tiny those morphing objects were. Graphics were okay but nothing to write home about. Collectibles, morphing objects, puzzle pieces to tackle and for once I got them all. Voiceovers were okay. The special effects was real nice.
I'm rating the game a 3-star. I recommend this game.

I love 4Friends Games. These developers are very talented especially in the design/graphics field. I'm rating this game a 4-star based on visual context, the HOGs, the mini-games, morphing objects and collectibles. Logic on the other-hand doesn't leave much to be desired. Most developers make you go through loops and bounds, for instance, just to find a paperclip, for instance, to unlock a door or pull a zipper. Elementary my dear! Elementary! But it's all in fun and it's a stress-buster.
This game is visually beautiful, and I love animals. I loved the storyline. I've never been to Iceland but something tells me this is not what Iceland looks like but I'll go along with it. I'd rather play a game like this than those gloomy, depressing, dreadful games where you're pretty much stuck underground for most of the game. I need beautiful scenery, bright, vibrant colors, crisp objects. HOGS that are fun to play. Objects that I can decipher and this game has that! So in that respect, they deserve at least a 4-star rating, though there was far too much dialogue for my taste, the voiceovers were great (you can skip the dialogue.)
I highly recommend this visually, beautiful, fun game! Good job developers!
