First of all, I dont know what happened, but I played this about a year or so ago. Its great, because for one thing, the graphics were fantasy but realistic, not childish as if they were a children's coloring book as the past month that's what some of the games I purchased recently turned out to be graphics wise, kind of childish. I dont get it, I have bought and played a Lot of games from Big fish most of them fanstastic! This one is Fantastic like crazy. Storyline, graphics, theme, everything, just like the Living Legend series is fantastic, Witches Legacy, Spirits of Mystery too fantastic. If you want to play a game that is not childish this is it. And it has an in depth play as well. You wont be bored! I definitely recommend this game, Im playing it again and one thing I noticed, its far better than any of the recent games I have played and I have played a LOT! The graphics right off the bat don't make me feel as if I'm opening a children's game. And the puzzles are better than some of the recent games I have played recently as well. The music is fantastic too. Its wonderful Big Fish allows play tests, this way I wont end up buying games that just aren't for me. Thank you Big Fish! Lost Lands Dark Overlord is great, buy the collectors edition they are always better.
Return to Rosemount to stop the Ice Queen in this updated classic!

I already bought the other one, but I wanted to play this one and had to re-buy and pay the 13.99. It was great, Im happy I played it, the remaster is far better than the first one! I dont like to give the game out or spoil it so I will say what they did adding things changing things the puzzles were awesome, and so were the characters, and all in all I enjoyed it and do not regret buying the remastered one because it was fantastic!
Relive the fantasy of Beauty & the Beast in this never before told story of magic and love!

Its beautiful, sweet, and a good story line, of course, but, I feel as if its for someone ten or maybe fourteen, but I'm over 18 and seek games that fit my age group, and love these games, but not when they end up clearly wonderful but made for younger kids. I definitely recommend for anyone 19 or younger. I have found a lot of wonderful games that were more sophisticated here on Big Fish so maybe I will try again.
Beautiful graphics,l dialogue and fantasy story just not for me. I found myself bored but its no surprise because it really is geared for someone at a younger level.

The story continues on a train headed east, as Kate Walker and Hans Voralberg search for a mysterious island known as Syberia.

This game was so much better than any of the games Ive played, its not childish, which most of the other games are, its far more sophisticated and doesnt seem as if it was geared for children. I wish there were far more games like this!
Starting off where Syberia I left off, Syberia II was even better! Imaginative, and creative, it also didnt have the worn out silly puzzles of twist this gear that, I have been starved for something such as this, imagine it was old and still was better. I didnt have to play it through some middle entity such as steam either!
Try it, its now some quick wiz bang kids game it rocks with intelligence and there should be new games out along these lines. love it! But I wish there was another game to take off where Kate was left by Hans to go to his last journey and the feeling was ok so what next for Kate??? What happens to her life now?

Search a mysterious estate and find a brilliant and mysterious inventor in Syberia, Part 1! Experience the first part of this incredible trilogy!

This game was the best, Ive never played anything like it! the characters are fully fleshed out, all unique, fascinating and wonderful from the main character Kate, to Hans and all of it, different, and tells a story that is so original intelligent and amazing you wish you were right in the game if you could do so, you would! I wont give anything away but this was the best ever original creative imaginative adventure ever! i would give it ten starts if I could, worth playing and not childish as it was made for children either. This is wroth playing, then buy Syberia all parts, and then Syberia II.
I recommend this game!

I loved this game, playing again! Evey element of this game is perfect from the creative puzzles and hidden object games, to the story line and extra imaginative, just about everything. I love it! I wont give any of it away, but its worth every single moment, and I also enjoy the fact its not too short. its a keeper and I'm playing it again. Includes a bonus game too!
I recommend this game!

Normally I give five all excellent good across the board.
I love most of the games so far and Ive played neaerly all of them, recently Living Legends The Crystal Tear. What happened with this one is that the balance was lost, there for the story theme was good but its interjection was weak, and not prominent enough, unlike the very first ones which I just loved so much! Too many puzzles nearly every five seconds, left the storyline behind and in doing so many puzzles it became unfortunately boring and tedious. The puzzles and the story line have to have a balance. I love these games,and have played almost all of several series, but when the puzzles are interjected every other second, it loses its excitement for me and then I became bored and the puzzles came too often instead of the story line being strong it became weak. I didn't care anymore. I want to keep enjoying and buying these games. I work hard and its one of my pleasures, so keep the balance is what I suggest. When the story line is strong it builds up the interest, but, when its just about another tedious puzzle it gets lost and therefor my interest began to lag, and disappear.
The Pros are that the graphics are eye candy Exquisite,the story theme great though this time it needed to be powerfully integrated more often between the Hidden Object puzzles and the mundane puzzles which became too frequent. So please don't forget that it matters, the story line is what brings a person along, otherwise there is so much fun in playing these. I cant stress enough for me, that the story line and all of it needs exciting balance. Not just another another puzzle again and again its like a treat that loses its effect. Thank you for your games!. I miss the Isa part of the series, the balance in nearly every single one of those was just perfect!

Amazing! Every bit of this game well thought out, storyline rocks and pulls you along throughout this game until the end including the Bonus game. Puzzles are challenging and delightful never tedious or boring at all. I wont give away anything about this game other than its worth every bit of the cost, and definitely recommend it!
I recommend this game!

The title of this doesnt do justice to this fantastic game.All of it, every single bit of the amazing work on this game, the story line excellent, it went deeper and deeper, without giving away all of it, I have found all the Witches Legacy Games are some of the best! This one included, the graphics characters set up from the very beginning captuires you immediately! I definitely recommend!

From the first, since I purchased this without trying it, I find it seems to be dumbed down or made for a 12 year old, I love nearly everry single big fish game ive chosen but not this one. Mom is giving the orders, you are the child, you are not in charge as a detetive or anything at all. It felt slow and the hop that popped up was more of the same, this caused me to immediately lose interest. Because of the set up, it felt completely different than other games I have played. I do think a non adult or minor would like this but for me, it was too slow, too geared for a child.
I don't recommend this game.
