The worst I've demoed in I don't even know how long. First issue is you can only turn music on or off, no volume control. The music is this humming clinking, bird tweeting constant ear grating tune, if that's what you call it. There is no speech, only text reading of a dull boring talk. There's 1 task in an area, only played long enough to do 2 HO games that you couldn't find the items. I played maybe 15 minutes and was getting a headache from the music and the boredom was putting me to sleep. I recommend a big thumbs own.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed this game but not a CE. Graphics were very well done, HOs were more challenging than the puzzles. and enjoyed the story and characters I have this one on my list to purchase when the SE version comes out. To me, a 5 star is really different, beautiful, and challenging., but not to the point of constantly going to the guide. I give few 5s and they are something very special. but a 4 to me is very good and entertaining. I recommend the SE, not the CE, unless you like all the extra stuff that I find is usually not worth the extra cost.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is so bad, I'm at a loss for words, why did they even make this one? MCF was once was my very favorite series, but 3 of the last 4 have been so awful, it's a travesty. If this is the direction MCF is going, I'll never demo one again, I'm very sad and disappointed, it was not fun, graphics were good, challenge was confusing, and storyline was one of the worst I've experienced. In my opinion, it's a waste of time to demo.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoy solitaire on occasion, but the stupid cartoon stories are so annoying, it's not any fun at all. Either have a straight solitaire game with beautiful graphics, or have a decent story with good game play. The only solitaire I've purchase was the detective one who had to solve murders and catch jewels thieves; I've played that over an over. This game should be free.
I don't recommend this game.

I had a free game code that needed used so went ahead and got this one. It was okay, just something to entertain me for a while. It's not difficult, does not have extended scrolling screen, just an average match 3. It was also extremely short, which disappoints me more than anything, I do not recommend unless you are a beginner or just need to pass a couple of hours. Why cam't they develop the real good ones as we've seen them before.an I o enjoy an excellent Match 3 on occasion.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed the demo and was so excited to have Ravenhearst back that I purchased the CE version. I haven't completed it yet, just got off the ship wreaked beach and into the cave and I'm bored to tears. This game makes no sense, is extremely difficult, and I wish I hadn't purchased it. It is no fun to have to be guided constantly by the guide because there is no logic in the play and you have to be lead by the hand through everything after the demo. They did the same thing with Madame Fate, and that was a disappointment also. I truly do no recommend this to anyone but the real diehards, you must purchase the CE or you'll never get through it. I have not decided if I'll try to finish or not......Huge disappointment!!
I don't recommend this game.

I'm glad I waited until I had played the full version before reviewing as the demo drew me in, but the rest left me dry. Graphics and characters are excellent, very well done. Challenge was pretty easy with most puzzles extremely easy and made you wonder why they were a puzzle and not just a task. There was nothing new in the HO segments, silhouette and list, pretty standard stuff. Storyline was pretty good and not the shortcomings of this game. I did get annoyed when I would click on an item I needed low in the screen and it would go out of the scene and seemed some items you had to click on just so or it wouldn't work. I definitely got bored but if you don't continue and complete the game in a sitting, then you forget what needs to be done. I wish they would do these games in chapters so you could stop and not have to review, or use a hint. to find out your next move and where inventory needs to go. I now wish I had waited for the SE version and not spent the higher price for the CE.
I recommend this game!

Graphics are nicely done and characters are pleasant too. I do enjoy these stories, nothing original, but never gets old. I did wait for the SE as this is not a CE product and I'm glad I did wait. Even though it's beautifully done, there is nothing new or original and it's also very short. If you 2 1/2 - 3 hours to sit down and lose yourself, give this one a try.
I recommend this game!

I love a good story and this one looks like it could be interesting and different from the norm. The graphics are pleasing and the characters could be better, but the mystery is the important thing. For a change we have a new subject, a story about the sport of horse racing and possible corruption in the past that could bring the mansion down. Is the daughter the person she claims to be or is she a fiend, just in it for the money? Will you be charged with murder? Even though I've never heard of anyone being charged because someone died of a heart attack. Guess you'll have to get the game to find out.
-Puzzles are as usual, annoying for me, but those who like the puzzles may find them intriguing. Nothing new in the HOs, but they are varied with list, fragments, and interactive. The level of challenge is the only reason I give this only 4 stars and waiting for the SE to come out.
-Gameplay is lacking and not very interesting, but the story is what draws me to this one and hope it can hold my interest as this isn't very challenging.
-Morphing item in the HOs but for the sake of me, I couldn't find the collectibles, even the first one that was pointed out, I couldn't even tell what it was; I won't be wasting my time looking for them.
I'll recommend the CE for those who can't wait, but I'll make a purchase when the SE comes out..

Really? You just keep saving the same people? The graphics are very nicely done and characters are good. Gameplay is not overly challenging and interactive map makes the next task easily found. HOs were very simple and puzzles were a mix, some easy and some hard, but nothing new. I don't know why I don't care for this game, maybe too simple, but looks like you have to continuously save the 2 same people and I'm just am not looking for a repeat of being the forgotten hero over and over again, just in different circumstances. Not for me, either CE or SE, just nothing to look forward to.
I don't recommend this game.
