I have all 3 of the previous games and thoroughly enjoyed them, but this is truly awful. Horrible graphics and game play. Miss the castle and also no developers scores as in previous games so no challenge. A BIG disappointment
Face your fears and unravel the mystery of the abandoned asylum!

There was nothing I didn't like about this game. Great game play. I played in Expert mode as I do not like hand holding and boy this was a challenge I had to revert to the guide once. Hard to believe this is an SE would beat many CE games by a mile.
Represents excellent value for money. Graphics, music, story line are fantastic. OK some may grumble no map so lots of toing & froing especially in Expert mode but that is the challenge. Morphing objects probably not necessary but didn't distract.
For me on a par with 13th Skull.

Black Isle was supposedly abandoned after an earthquake but the truth is much more sinister! Join the Mystery Trackers and learn the truth!

I was excited when I saw a new Mystery Trackers game. Have the other 2 and they are excellent. This one however falls short of the mark somehow. Graphics and sound are still excellent but I found some of the games very frustrating. I enjoy a challenge and always play games on expert or hardcore if available and never skip a game. The mini games here are either very easy or just too hard, I mean 45 moves to solve a tile game, give me a break. Had to resort to the strategy guide. Loved the little dog character but just didn't enjoy this game as much as the other 2.
If you haven't played the other 2 you would probably enjoy this, it is a good length but wait for the SE.

I don't recommend this game.

Graphics and story line were very good. I played in hardcore mode as I like a challenge. Hidden object scenes are pretty mundane, same old same old here but it was some of the mini games which got me. Definitely some different ones and lots of them but boy were some of them difficult. Playing in hardcore mode there is no option to skip so had to work my way through as walk through not helpful as some games had no reset button. Game took me hours with quite a bit of frustration hence the 4 star rating, play in game mode where you can skip. Apart from the frustration, an entertaining and challenging game , didn't need to use the hint button. Have got a sense of achievement completing the game in hardcore mode. Will play again but at an easier level.
For long time gamers who like a challenge this is the one for you. Mini Games aren't as interesting as say Return to Ravenhearst but still challenging.

I don't usually buy CE games as prefer to wait for SE but once I had played the demo I was hooked. However this CE represents good value. I played in Expert mode as I like a challenge and had about 7 hours of game time. Had to resort to the Strategy guide once, as got really stumped towards the end of the game (no spoiler here!)
This is a fragmented Hidden Object game and some of the objects are really difficult to find. The graphics are fab the story line OK. I really enjoyed this game and would highly recommend.
I recommend this game!
