Though certainly different than the games we are used to in 2012 - this game stands the test of time! This was one I played repeatedly when it was released and found it a fun challenge every time! Cute storyline and the gadgets you get throughout your journey really add to the game! Give this game a try, you'll be glad you did!
I recommend this game!

Let me first say I don't reserve 5 stars for CE games, or 6 hour games or games with something total new and different. If I'm playing a game and repeatedly think "Wow - I really, really like this game!" that's 5 stars; and that's what I thought throughout this game!
Graphics are lovely and there are some unique aspects to the gameplay - it's a really nice mix of H0, puzzles and adventure! Devs have even manged to make a horribly gory tale not too gory with intriguing "dream graphics".
The plot moves along very nicely and it's always fun to play from multiple character points of view. Game ran flawlessly on my laptop - always a plus!
Lovely attention to detail as well - i.e. you find a hemlock plant at one point and devs did their homework - it is a Water Hemlock the most deadly in the hemlock family!
Happy Gaming!

Ab-so-lutely love this game! Could have gone on playing it forever - you really do lose yourself in each of this game's many worlds! It's those multiple worlds that really make this game special for me - feels like you're playing multiple games in one!
Also love that it's in clearly defined chapters, makes it easy to play, pause and come back to without utterly losing your place!
Artwork is stunning, game play is challenging without being too difficult - great for less experienced gamers, a nice breath of fun fresh air for more experienced folks.
This is one I will play again and again!
I recommend this game!

Bought this game based on glowing reviews in forums and the demo - the didn't get around to playing it for nearly a year! Began playing and initially thought, "Why did I buy this? I don't like it!" Then as I continued on my quest for Spirit Soup I found myself saying "I LOVE this game! It's super fun and funny!"
Runs glitch free & soooo speedy compared to some ginormous #albeit lovely# CE games - I feel like I'm flying from scene to scene!
It is for sure an Adventure game - but don't fear if that's not your cup of tea - this one is light play compared to Myst or Siberia or some of the many other adventure games I cut my teeth on "Back in the day". Even adventure novices likely won't bang their heads into their keyboards more than a couple times!
Hints have proved most helpful, there is a journal & characters help remind you of your goals too! Toss in the custom cursor & it's a challenge - but not so frustrating you can't enjoy the story as you go.
Happy Gaming!

Really enjoyed the first one & there are vast improvements in this sequal! Hidden Object scenes aren't so difficult you tear your hair out & that's a major plus! This game is heavy on story & has a great theme/moral - but if you don't enjoy taking your time and really following your journal and all the diologues - this may not be your cup of tea.
Stunning graphics and puzzles are unique and challenging. Great "cast of characters" and for me a perfect blend of story, Hidden Object scenes, tasks and puzzles. Both this and the prequel really stand out in their uniqueness in a "sea" of games! Enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Absolutely fabulous graphics, characters and story - great moral too! However, though the Hidden Object scenes were innovative many of the items were plain just too difficult to find. True - you get 4 different types of hints - but for me I just felt I needed to use far too many of them! Found myself getting frustrated and that's a shame because this is a stellar game & one you really want to enjoy; the frustration put a damper on that a bit.
I still recommend it - if you go into it knowing you'll be using the heck out of those hints - likely you won't be frustrated like I was!!
Happy gaming - I do recommend this one!

Boy did this get poor reviews in the forum - but I say give this one a try! Is it frustrating at times? Sure is - but that's the fun! This is not a "hand holding" game, but the clues you need are there & there is a logic to every task!
The story line is very unique - what imagination went into this game! Graphics run from gritty to stunning and for the most part the game played well on my laptop!
H0 scenes are pretty typical - but there are some very unique games! Luckily you can back out - look for clues - then go back without losing your place!
If you are looking for a challenge that has a very unique feel - this game is the one! Happy gaming!
I recommend this game!

Beautifully made, runs glitch free, compelling story line and good characters! This one has it all! Also good level of challenge both in H0 scenes, tasks and games. This game gives you a great sense of satisfaction when you complete it - not just because you've beaten the games and such, but because you've made the world (or at least New Orleans) a better place to live!
Story really draws you in & the tasks make sense to the case - there is lots of back and forth - but not to excess & case file sure helps you keep track of what you need to be doing!
Lose yourself in New Orleans and happy gaming!

Really enjoyed this game! I'll tackle story first as many seemed to think the game lacked in this area. For me - I disagree! This game is all about Suspense! I felt the story was metted out very nicely - one little suspenseful piece at a time! Yes - you do wander around the town alone - but you never know what will be around any given corner - what piece of the puzzle you might uncover next! This kept the suspense high & for me kept the game most interesting! The pace was great too - a relatively calm start - lots of exploring and heightened pace near the end where you are practically flying from location to location!
I am stunned this is not a Collector's Edition - you sure get a LOT of game play for a standard price! Game ran very well - did lock up once, but I didn't lose any of my game (whew!). The interactive map made this game! You can walk back and forth if you prefer - but you can check the map for "hot" areas & jump from scene to scene if you want to speed things up!
Also a great mix of items you use right away & things you need to keep track of for later. Hidden Object scenes were challenging without being blindinly difficult. Lovely graphics as well - but there is a creep factor for sure!
Happy Gaming!

Super surprised this game didn't get 5 stars from everyone! This game was way ahead of its time when it came out - AND still holds up against today's games! It's one I play over and over! I just get lost in this one - love it every time I play it!
Stunning graphics, fabulous storyline & characters! Game has played flawlessly on 3 separate computers of mine with two different operating systems!
All that - and it's a challenging game too! You'll long for the rechargeable hints we get today! If you missed out on this one in the past - download it now & Happy Gaming!!
