No matter how I adjusted the sounds on this game I could not hear anything that was said. There is no point in trying to play a game if the voices cannot be heard and there is no accompanying text to tell you what is being said. Don't bother with it.
I am in an airplane. It crashes. I wake up in a room. Nothing tells me why I am there or what is going on. The tutorial is no help whatsoever. It disappeared after showing me where the hint is located. I have no idea what I am supposed to do next after the one HOP. I gave up. I wouldn't have this game as a gift, much less buy it.
After I spent five minutes trying to follow the instructions to get into Ethan's room without anything working, I decided that I don't want this game. It is too frustrating.
After I got through the gate, I found myself in the middle of a garden. There was nothing that told me what I was supposed to do. When I moved the cursor around, it said what was in that direction. Aunt Sarah's diary did not say anything helpful. I had no idea which way I was supposed to go. At that point, there was no hint. I decided long ago that if a game is not going to start out by telling me what to do that I would not want it. I certainly don't want this one.
At the beginning, you are required to find a lot of finger and foot prints. They are all over the scene. I was able to find all but five of them. When I tried the hint, I discovered that it takes a full minute to recharge. I am not about to spend five more minutes looking for these things. Although the premise of the game was interesting, I don't want it.
It starts out with a puzzle. Once you do that you get the storyline. I have never played a game that starts like this and I don't like it. Also, the player is extremely limited in the hints. You only have a certain number. I don't play games that do this. I want rechargable hints. As a result, I don't want it.
It looks like a really good game, but there is no hint and the strategy guide only works if you buy the game. There is nothing to tell the player what to do except to activate the amulet and there are no instructions as to how to do it. I am very disappointed.
I was very disappointed. It looked at first like a game which I would love. However, when I got into the first hidden object scene and needed help from the hint, I was given a message to use the interactive help, that the hint would help in the rest of the game. However, there is no interactive help. I decided to stop right there.
There is no strategy guide and the hint does nothing. There is no tutorial and the game doesn't tell me what I am supposed to do. It took me through an HOS, then sent me into the throne room and left me there. I definitely don't like it. I am very glad that I didn't buy it.
I got just a few minutes into the game and decided that I was not interesting in buying it, so I clicked on the menu to quit. It would not let me out of the game. It kept taking me to one scene after another and no matter how I tried to get out or how many times I clicked on it, it just continued taking me farther into the game. After five minutes of this I was finally able to escape. It was a horrible experience. DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO TRY IT.
