Small file but busy game! pros- 22 levels nice graphics nice mini games-mah-jong, match-ups, & puzzles more than just hos mini-games become harder as you progress but still not hard good vos not sure how long this game actually takes since i did stop and took breaks. but, it took me about as long as some big file games do! a must at least try it!
cons- hos a bit junky and some items pretty small the game may become a bit tedious to some players
-personal thoughts- this game did surprise me got it with free code. i enjoyed the story and the vos were nice and not nerve wracking. i did get a bit bored with parts of it, that is when i would take a break. all in all i really enjoyed it :)
Based on completed game: pros: -nice graphic -music is ok -nice mini games -usable stuff u collect in hos not always just one thing some u collect alot of stuff so you can complete a puzzle etc... -nice length -blah blah bah...interactive map the usual
cons: -mouths don't move on vos -if not for the map alot of back and forth uggh... -just ended bam was weird u know?
Personal thoughts: all the others i bought were SE's so when i completed the game i went into extras and tried to play the BC but it said i had to play the game again...turns out the game went right into the BC without any notice! this was a new one on me lol
*BC was fun but the ending was a bit abrupt.
personally i advise you to buy the SE because the story itself is pretty much completed at the end of the main game. unless your a CE junky and just have to know what the BC is about lol ^^
i actually give this a 3.5 stars because of the ending and the lack of time they put into not moving the mouths on dialogue, and the lack of achievements as well.
What would adventure be, without the element of uncertainty? Play as Jennifer as she explores the ruins of the Maya civilization in search of her father.
i would actually rate this game at 2.5 Pros: music was not nerve wracking was kind of soothing graphics clear and drawn nicely mostly hos with a few puzzles thrown in EVERY scene is workable hos and puzzles cons: it also is a bit slow i am the impatient type :) no vo's cutouts that pop into the scene to "chat" which u have to read hos not what we have gotten use too the whole scene is one bit hos also 2 of this 3 of that etc...you get the idea -personal thoughts- this game is a throwback from like 5 years ago but that does not mean that you will not like it...especially if you like pretty much pure hog's it is not for me personally because i love the newer hoa's so i do recommend this game because ik there will be some out there who will really like this game...it is also a great beginners game as well :)
pros -graphics are drawn very well -cannot comment on sound except no vo's
-in between pros and cons one hos to another cons -junk piles -items on the small side *this is a no buy for even on sale or will i waist a game code on it.
*personal thoughts i would have loved this game 5 years ago but after playing the newer and much improved games out now i have become spoiled...lol that is not to say someone else would love this game! so even tho i will not buy this myself i will recommend this especially for HO lovers ^^ at least give it a try.
Full Demo which was only 30 min. pros: cinamatics were very well done; mouths move when talking nice 2nd installment to the Fantastic Creations: House of Brass i knew something was familiar with that lil picture taking bug! (lol) nice vo's graphics crisp and clear hos are interactive map is interactive achievements cons: continuity of the vo's do not coinside throughout ex. the barmaid has a german type accent but other characters not the other characters i came across only 30 min for demo for some it is a bit wordy (dialogue) -personal thoughts- i liked it idk if it worth being a CE or not and i really do not like being cut short on demo time :/ but game play is nice and i personally really liked this game :) and as far as i could tell nice script for the dialogue.
based on completed game: pros: graphics nice and clear no comment on sound mine was off nice fun easy puzzles hos were the same nice and clear variety of puzzles fun interaction with nastrodamas find jewels for hints they r not hard to locate cons: short game only maybe a few hours some may find this game dated compared to the newer games
*personal comments* this is a much over looked game well worth the free game you earned :) i had a lot of fun playing it ^^
this is a nice little game for beginners or just a rainy day based on 30 min of demo pros: graphics pretty clear for ho lovers hos and puzzles only puzzles pretty easy story line is alright
cons: junky hos no vos repetitive -cannot comment on sound i had mine turned off-
*personal comments* this is not a bad game but it seems to be geared towards a younger audience so if you want a nice rainy day game then this is one to put on your list. there is not much to say
I recommend this game!

this game is not as bad as what i read in the other 2 reviews which in my opinion were not reviews (unbiased) they just did not like the game and said as much. pros- graphics pretty much nice and clean no running around u automatically go to the next location story line was so-so. the idea was great cons; music was not very good no hos where ever u go is an hos no vo's just reading
now depending on what you personally like this can be a good thing or a bad thing one hos after another with a few lines to read hear and there. all i can say is give it a try this one is not my cup of tea tho. but hey u may love it i don't always go by reviews because i bought a game with awesome reviews and hated it and others slammed other games and i loved them so it is up to you gamer to give this poor game a chance. i really give it 2.5 stars for the effort
Full Demo Review: pros; 4 modes of play no junk piles items fairly easy to find there are some in hos combining to get some items. hint system very nice crisp and clear graphics beautiful cinimatics interactive map (big plus) good vo's except for the train dude his voice was a bit annoying lol storyline is interesting if you have played any of the mystery trackers and liked them you will love this one cons: demo was less than the hour idk how long this game lasts or if it is worth the extra 7 bucks for the bonus content.
there is nothing really negative i can say about this game especially since i have not completed it yet.
Personal comments: i cannot comment on the SG since i did not get a chance to use it. i already own all the other mystery trackers, but they are the SE's you just have to check it out for yourself ^^ so the deal does me no good ;/ Happy Gaming and Have a Wonderful Time!
30 min of demo: would have played more but got stuck.
even with the poor reviews i tried this game. was fun until i got to the place i was to place a greenish blue lever looking thing in the forge 2nd location i placed it and deactivated the forge but the hint kept telling me i still needed to use it...grrr... i did not have any issues with what others were having i did not need my hand held and moving around was not difficult. pros easy moving around ie taxi list of places to go small magnifying glass to click on areas of interests no junk piles for hos mini games not very hard nice looking scenes not bad interface.
cons: one 2 things in an area then you have to go to another location alot of back and forth. graphics nothing really special. no vo's music repetitive but u can turn it off no walkthrough as of yet there are issues with the game itself needs more work to fix it. i would recommend this game when the fore mentioned issue or issues get fixed. until then i cannot in good conscience recommend this game.
