Pre-Sophia storyline with minotaurs. All the usual suspects with some additional twists... HOS within HOS to put together an object. Fairies. Familiar music, but still sweet. Bought it without any other reviews simply because it's part of the Awakening series; no disappointment. Off to continue my game!
The reviewers who gave 4-5 start are right. Game is not easy and I played in the easy mode. New twists on old mini-games as well as some new mini-games. HO, while minimal junk piles, are still not easy to find. Good story line, enjoyable characters, not intrusive music, lovely graphics. All this just from the demo. This game deserved better ratings.
You've returned from school to visit your father at his famous Jazz Pepper Club during Mardi Gras, but everyone is hypnotized. Have they heard the wrong note?
Fun game, good puzzles, great period location. Don't let the jazz theme put you off. Really a terrific game. Easter egg - landlord's name in the bonus chapter.
The expedition continues... Track down the fragments of King Solomon's crown and foil a madman's plot in this exciting follow-up to the bestselling series!
The Crown of Solomon continues the HE legacy with exemplary results. Game play solid with HO scenes producing multiple levels at one time. Puzzles, so far, not very challenging, but I can live with that. Storyline is really good, although flying a helicopter from Turkey to the Arctic Circle might be a stretch. Overall worth the CE price and as a BOGO on July 4th.
Based on demo only. HO scenes have multiple levels. There are morphing items (looks like in HO scenes only, I hope) and hand prints to find. Interact with characters, play nice. You collect abilities. So far, so fun. However, it appears the trial does not end; only the second chapter does and you have 90 minutes to play through. Based on demo a really interesting CE with lots to do, see, interact, etc. It's a buy me.
Played 18 minutes and stopped merely to buy game. Marvelously dark and mysterious. Takes place in 1955; even the detective has on the appropriate color lipstick. Must go back and play some more. Definitely a "buy me, buy me" game.
Played the hour before I realized I had played the hour. This is fun (so far). Simple fun (again so far). Haven't started tearing my hair out yet; but it's early in the game. I have a feeling Joe is rubbing his hands together and cackling - heh, heh, heh.
I admit I've only played the demo. However, the second puzzle was a logic which is one of my faves and almost never found in these games. Beautiful graphics, morphs, various HOS (didn't look like junk piles), good map for jumping. I do agree with other reviewer about reset button. Please update. All-in-all, it's a buy as a CE (which is what I'm going to do).
This was one of those games where the extra content made me smile. No spoilers here, but the CE was definitely worth the time, money and effort. Buy the CE if you can.
