A fantastic game. My only complaints are about the smoke and fog levels. I am not a hard core gamer and they were very difficult for me to complete even with the built in walk thru.
I recommend this game!

I purchased both Be A King and Be A King 2 so I was greatly looking forward to playing this latest one. It was disappointing. First, at 31 levels it is far too short. Second, it supposedly offers three modes of play but I tried playing the game on all three modes and saw very little difference. Third, adds nothing new to the series. Still it is fun and so I will recommend it but do not expect to be wowed.
I recommend this game!

This game does not present a huge challenge but since I am a casual player and prefer my games to be fun vs challenging, I enjoyed it very much. I recommend it highly for casual players like myself.
I recommend this game!

I usually love this type of game but I do not like games you have to click your mouse a great deal as that leads to sore wrists (at least for me). This game often when you click on something, it doesn't take so you have to keep clicking on it. It is very frustrating so I can only play a few levels then I have to quit as my wrist is killing me and it gets to the point I am just reflexively clicking everything over and over again.
I am not the only person that had this problem with the game. Check the game forum.
I don't recommend this game.

With an interesting story line you get involved in, this game is much more than a game. I would say it is an interactive story that just happens to have HOG and puzzles along the way. The graphics are lovely. The soundtrack is non-intrusive. This is a great follow-up to their Phantom of the Opera release in this Mystery Legends series. I highly recommend both especially for people who don't usually go for the HOG games. I am mainly a TMG player myself.
I recommend this game!

This was an enjoyable game. It is a time management building game so if you enjoy that type, you will find this one a great purchase.

While this game was enjoyable to play and provided some interesting puzzle challenges, it was a fast play. My first go through I finished it in a little over 2 hours. I played it a second time and there were no changes. The puzzles and hidden object games were exactly the same. The second time I finished the game in 1 hour and 40 minutes (I had a stopwatch running). For $7, I expect a game that lasts more than two hours.
I don't recommend this game.

If you have recently played their latest release in this series, Beauty and the Beast, take a moment to explore this one. It is a fun game to play even if you are not really into HOGs as the story line is exciting and the graphics gorgeous.

I have been enjoying the Hidden Expedition series from the very beginning and they keep getting better. The story lines have been very interesting and enjoyable. I highly recommend this latest release.
