The Legendary Mahjong was so very fun and I played the Slide temple about 5 or 6 times. This Legendary Slide is not as fun because it gives no break from the ONE game you must play over and over and over, without finding a way to get through it. I had very little trouble with Legendary Mahjong, but this one. that appears unsolvable to me, is a bit depressing. I wish there was some kind of guide or hint. I would love to move on. Some really smart people out there are getting through it so I will keep trying. If you love mental challenges, you will love this game.
I have spent more happy and challenging hours with this game than any game ever. I was unhappy to have completely finished the Temple of Air. I would have loved to play more of the challenges offered in the Temple of Air. I enjoyed all of them except the Temple of Earth, which I found mostly unresponsive with the choices offered. I will play this game again.
I really enjoyed this game that was far beyond my skill. I needed a lot of help, had to skip several of the mini games, part because I had no clue of what to do, or I just could not get through the challenge. WOW, a chess game and I barely know how to play chess. All these challenges made it really fun and filled my hours with Great Interest and challenge. This is a game I can replay and that has not happened for months and months. If you want a variety of mini games that are Not the same old games, this is one you must buy.
I recommend this game!

This game was so much fun for me that I didn't want it to end, and this is the first time in five years that I have really enjoyed playing the Bonus Game. The main game finishes perfectly and the Bonus Game is an interesting, but not necessary, additional pleasure. I think this will be the Number One Game of 2015.
I recommend this game!

No elaborate review of the game here, there are many detailed reviews so I will just say this was a fun game that was not frustrating. It stayed interesting for me throughout, no ugly junk and offered a different kind of HOA. Some of the mini games were a bit too hard for me or I just didn't want to go through the struggle of solving them so I skipped several and did what I could easily do. I don't usually leave reviews but I really enjoyed this game that wasn't too 'junky' and ugly but not too pretty and full of bunches of 'pretty' stuff. The story line was different and interesting.
I recommend this game!

I don't often find a game that I feel I can offer a review that is not a duplicate of better Raters than I. This game was just so beautiful I had to send my Praise to the Developers. I have a couple of hundred games more or less and none up to this time can compare to this one. The Music is gorgeous, the story line was Really interesting to me, the voice overs actually ADDED to the whole experience because they were so naturally a part of the on-going story. Because I don't see as well as I once did, I found some of the challenges more difficult because some of the symbols were just too small for me to see clearly so had to guess. Some of the mini games were too difficult for me but I enjoyed the challenge and when too frustrated it was nice to Skip and get a quick glimpse of the solution (would have been nice to see it a few seconds longer). I very, very rarely play a game a second time, but this will be an exception. I also never have Saved the music track, but this one was a real keeper that I will listen to again and again. This game will be my favorite for a long time to come I think. I was beginning to think that Big Fish was running out of really good games. I will be looking forward to seeing what this Developer does next. I Highly recommend this game.

Myths of the World: Chinese Healer
The Emperor's son has a mysterious illness. As legendary healer Daiyu, you're called to the palace to save him, but you end up having to save yourself!
This is a very entertaining game, as others have described and discussed in eloquent detail. I would like to add "Don't Miss the Closing Credits"!!!!! I have played many BF games and never read any Closing Credits as entertaining as you will find with this game. The Developers have become REAL People with unique characteristics, so I would encourage our Fishes to check it out. I look forward to the next Myths of the World game from these Developers. GOOD JOB!!!!
I recommend this game!

This game had potential but the many flaws made it a miserable game to complete. The biggest problem I had was with the Erratic control; hard to pick up items, didn't respond exactly when or where it should and at the end of the game I just had to keep clicking and clicking to get one "rare" response. This speed ran through the ENDING so that I totally missed how it actually ended. Many of the mini games were impossible to understand or responded again, erratically even completing tasks that were NOT completed. I won't be playing this frustrating game again. Big disappointment, glad I didn't buy the CE.
I don't recommend this game.

This game was a new experience for me even though I have played hundreds of BF games. Story was exciting, Graphics were beautiful, but my Greatest Surprise was the SOUND/AUDIO; I rarely if ever play with the sound turned on and had played this game nearly through before I just "Happened" to turn on the sound. I was overwhelmed to say the least, so, so beautiful, both music and voice overs. As soon as I finished I immediately replayed the game with the sound TURNED ON. What a totally different experience. I literally 'fell' in to the game world. Wonderful, wonderful experience, but now my game expectations have gone to another level. BIG KISS TO THE DEVELOPERS!!!!!!
I recommend this game!

This is the best game I have played among the dozens of really good Big Fish games I have played in recent years. The graphics were superb; the story really interesting, the wandering around was a pleasure because there was almost always something new to appreciate, and the music just added to the experience. The special effects that made many of the HOS more interesting than most games were a pleasure to enjoy rather than a junk pile to get through to get on with the game.
The graphics detail, sudden bursts of color that continued long enough to really enjoy, gave me ‘goose bumps’. I didn’t hurry with this game but just savored every moment.
I have found that with most CE games recently, there usually is nothing especially important to justify paying extra to get the Bonus Game, but with Song of the Phoenix, the Bonus Game is a MUST EXPERIENCE, I would strongly encourage my fellow Fishes to not miss this one. The CE game with the Bonus Game, Wallpapers, Music, etc., is well worth the price and even more so. This will surely be my favorite game for a long, long time.
