Let me start by saying that I love the Northern Tale games. I replay the first three of them over and over again. In fact, I was replaying Northern Tale 3 (for the third time) when I saw that Northern Tale 4 was released. The game play is similar, with relaxed, normal, and multiclick modes.The visual quality is great, with new underwater settings for some levels. You can tell that they spent time developing the story line as well. But what I most like is how challenging it is. By the time I played Northern Tale 3, getting three stars on a level was coming quite easily to me. But on this game, getting three stars is quite a challenge, especially on some levels. A fun, challenging game!

The storyline was so engaging, I had to play all the way through the game. The live cutscenes added to the atmosphere of the game; I felt like I was living in a movie. My main complaint is that I would have liked the game to be longer--it was over a little too quickly, and I would have liked the story to be drawn out a bit more.
