This is quite good, the music is a little annoying and I tried a few times to shut it off, but it keeps coming back on, easy enough to ignore..
The game it self is not bad, the hidden objects scene's can be a little hard to see items, and the puzzles are challenging without being impossible..
The graphics are not the greatest, but this is a great little game none the less..
It is a short game though, can be easily played and finished in one day
I recommend this game!

First off I don't usually play these types of games, I prefer hidden object ones, or adventure games, but thought I would try this since it was free, and I love it!
The music is annoying, but easy to turn off, there is no story, just line up your soldiers etc, and protect your base at all costs..
You get stars for winning the round, which can be used for upgrades..
All in all a fun way to spend the day..
I recommend this game!

I played the demo version, and I like the game. I was expecting some thing a lot more scarier after reading the warning and the reviews, but this was not really scary at all, a few times when I jumped a bit.
The music was alright, kind of creepy but suitable for the game

This is not your typical kind of HOS, a lot of thinking involved but still a great game for the price, will be using one of my credits for it..
If you scare easy, then you don't want to play this game, but if you can handle a scary movie without hiding behind your couch or screaming till the neighbors call the cops because they think you are being killed then sure go for it, play the game, you might like it.
Play the demo first though..
There are some hard parts where you really might get a little ticked at the game and want to quit, but don't, just take a bit of a break and try again later...

I wasn't sure at first about this one, there wasn't a lot of help, so basically had to figure things out on one's own, but by the end of the demo, I was loving it..
The graphics were nice, crisp and clear.
Sound, music was good
I like it when the game has voice over, makes it more real
:-)

Story line was basic and straightforward.
Puzzles were easy enough, and the hidden object scenes were clear enough to find everything, though some times one has to look a little harder to find what u are looking for..
All in all a good game, worth the money, or wait and get it with a credit, either way it is not a waste..

This was not a bad game, the interactive help is not that great at all, the game starts off with you having to figure out what to do before you are given any help, and then the help is rather sparce. Not a problem really, but if some one was brand new at these types of games they might find it hard to figure out what to do.
The map is interactive, you click and can go right to the area instead of having to walk back and forth.
I did find the map and Hint were a little too close, easy to accidently hit Hint when you meant map.
The music is not bad, I didn't really find it annoying, just typical music..
The hidden objects scene is good, nice and clear, not too jumbled, yet not too easy to do.
The graphics are really quite good. Nice and clear, and crisp.
The voices are easy to hear and understand, I will be buying this game.

I have always loved Monopoly and I love it even more now that I don't have to bug anyone to come play it with me :-)
For people that are worried about the movement, it can be turned off in the options area, same with full screen, it can be turned off or on..
I played just the demo, but it was great fun, just like the real deal but with out the hassle of losing any pieces, then having to replace them..
Will be buying this, or using a credit..

The game could have been really good, but I had hardly any sound except for music, and once I turned that off I had no sound, it started out with some speaking, but then that was it, when I clicked an item or discovered anything, there was no sound to indicate I had done anything..Maybe it was a glitch with my game, but with out sound, I won't be buying it...
I don't recommend this game.

I was not sure about this game, so I tried the demo first, found out I loved it, and went and bought it as soon as the demo ended.
The story is a little odd, not a lot of hidden objects, a lot of thinking is involved and I mean a lot.
There is a walk through though on You Tube which helps when u just can't figure some thing out..
If you are sitting on the fence about this one, try the demo, it will end before u expect it, and u will be wanting more..

The music is kind of annoying, so I shut it off.
The graphics are not bad.
The hidden objects can be hard to almost impossible to find, but still fun.
I like the idea that you can set the settings as u like, relaxed with no timer, unlimited hints, and or a timer.
There are anchors to be found in each scene, 2 to be exact, and they can be tricky to spot, they can be actual anchors, or the word anchor, or just a picture of an anchor.
After you finish each complete scenes, any where between 2 to 3, you do a puzzle to get the a clue for the next set of scenes, and they can be match 3, find matching pairs, or any number of puzzles.
No real story line, just get off the ship..
A lot to do here, and a lot to explore, well worth the money, or wait till u have a free game, then play the hour see if u like it, then get it for free..

I was reading the reviews here and am now curious of some thing, it seems like everyone agrees that the sound and graphics are fantastic, so I am now wondering is some thing wrong with my copy? When I played it, the voices were so low I couldn't even hear them, even with my speakers max volume. The graphics were alright, but a lot of the scenes were nothing but black and screams and other sounds, but still nothing but black. So a low score because again as I said a lot of the scenes were nothing just sounds.
I don't recommend this game.
