My review is based on the Collector's Edition trial. This game had at least three characteristics that I'm definitely a sucker for : 1. Celtic themes i.e. the Tree of Life, runes, druids, and more. 2. Mini helpers i.e. golems, scarecrows, or in this case a cute little sapling. 3. The Mysteries of the Ancients game series. With that said I have no complaints. I enjoyed the graphics and music as well as a story line that drew me in immediately. The mini games were interesting and mildly challenging as were the hidden object scenes which allowed the game and story to flow smoothly. There were 2 collections I found - clovers and character statuettes. I will definitely purchase this game and recommend it as well.
I recommend this game!

My review is based on the CE trial. I am a huge fan of this series and was very excited to see a new edition. Having said that this particular game will not be one of my favorites in this series. The graphics were a let down to me after the other games in the series. I understand the goal was to create a dark and "shadow" like atmosphere but I missed the beautiful graphics I have grown spoiled to. In my opinion the story line was just so-so. Usually from the beginning I recognize the fairy tale the story is spun from and that adds to my enjoyment. I was unfamiliar with this tale. I will probably buy the game to complete my collection, see how the tale ends and what characters if any I recognize from the previous games. One reason I am a fan of this series is the cameos of characters from other games that appear unexpectedly in the current game. Sadly, I will probably purchase other games before this one because this one just didn't draw me in like I'm accustomed to.
My review is based on the trial of the CE. I have played all the games in the Living Legends series and I thought this was a great addition. I loved the story line and have no complaints about the graphics. If you are a fan of the series I would definitely recommend this game! I absolutely loved the trial and will purchase the full game.
