Now this one is a good well put together game. Looks more like an adventure game than HO game. I did not get too many HOS or puzzles but still was a good game.
The graphics are crisp and beautiful scenery. Music is nice to listen to and has voice over.
3 modes of play. Has a map and hint button works good if needed.
You do not get achievements or morphine's to find in the SE.. There are Flowers and birds to see and you have to find them.
Really good storyline what is reveled at the beginning of the game.
I recommend this game!

Pretty good game. Needs to be longer for a CE. No real HOS if you are used to finding what is listed under the HOS. The HOS that are there are good and interactive. Puzzles are good but not really new. Have little critters to find. Story is good and graphics are also good. I think you should wait and get the SE when it comes out.
I recommend this game!

Not a good game to play for a CE. I would not but it if it was a SE. Nothing great about this game. Gets boring real soon and you get tired of playing it. The music gets under my skin after awhile and needs to be turned off. Graphic are not great either.
Most of the puzzles I have seen before. The HOS are easy and does have some interactive to them.
All in all not a great game to buy. Too many good ones out there now. Not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

The first one was a gem to play and this one looks just as good. The story now is the half-sister has escaped, and you've got the last piece of your father's treacherous film projector. Now you uncover the truth about your father's dark secrets and find out who’s really behind his death and his deadly invention in Final Cut: Encore.
The graphics are stunning and good and the music is good to listen to.
Has 3 modes to play and has voice over just as the first one.
No map. Thought they would after not having it in the first one.
The HOS are pretty easy but have more interaction than there first final cut game. You can play the normal HOS or switch to match 3.
Puzzles are good with some challenging to me.
This is a well put together game with the graphics and adventure and is pretty straight forward on the flow of the game.
The hint button works good if needed. shows you what area to go and takes you there. Little too much help for me but works good. Again this is a great game to play just like the first one. A buy for me.
I recommend this game!

This game is set up like there other game with a doll house that you have to find figures to put in that tells the story as you go. The game play is pretty straight forward but you do get a map after a short time to use.
The HOS are not as many but are good and some are interactive.
2 modes of play.
The puzzles are good but you have seen some before.
Has voice over.
Hint button works fast and does help you out if you need it.
Has 14 chapters. I would say get this one and not the CE because this one has no collectables or morphine.
It is really pretty much on the same set up as stray story's. The graphics are music are really good.
I recommend this game!

This is a game to just play and have fun for the day. Nothing hard. More puzzles than HOS. Nothing really hard. Hint button works really good if needed.
I like to be able to see the items in the HOS are this one fills the bill. The graphics are good.
Does not have walkthrough but do not think you will need it. Nothing great about this game like some of the CE games, just a good game to play for the fun of it.
I recommend this game!

This game can be fun but not as a CE. Wait for the SE.
There are no HOS but does has puzzles and mini games. Some are easy and some gave me challenge to play.
The game is fast so will not take a lone time to complete.
There is a little dragon that helps you out during the game an as a hint button.
No extras in this CE so that is why I say wait for the SE.
Nothing exciting here. I will pass.
I don't recommend this game.

Another elephant game and this one is full of extras. The graphics are good not great. No voiceover but not really needed the way they make this one. To me the music was annoying.
Has a map. Not fund of the hint button either. Tells you what and where to go.
The HOS are good but small and cluttered, hard to find all the items.
You have some devils to find as extras.
This game has lots of extras to throw you off which does make it interesting.
Just something about this game that did not make me think it was 5 stars. Good game just not great.
I recommend this game!

Not sure about this game. I found it to be old type of a game. There was no voice over. The music was not very interesting to me. The graphics were good.
The ship moved back and forth so if that make you seasick you could turn it off. The HOS were straight forward. Items were small and hard to see. The hint button worked good.
No map.
No real adventure to me, just go around and find items to use.
3 modes of play.
Just and average game with no real excitement. Nothing new in this game.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a Blam game and is really put together well. You have 3 modes to play. You also can use the map or not, depending on how hard you want to play.
The graphics are done quite well and has voice over. There still is lots of reading to do in finding the items you need. Lots of written clues to read. You get achievements when you find items and progress thru the game and for not using the hint button. The hint button is good, tell you where to go, I do not think you will need it much. The flow of the game is good and not hard to figure out.
You have to find and collect turtles thru-out the game. Something fun to do.
the puzzles are good but the HOS are interactive and really fun. Different also. You have to find things to complete the task to get the item in the HOS. Really interactive as I said.
This is a really fun game to play. I think it is better than there first game they put out.
You do not get the bonus chapter with this one. Need the CE.
I recommend this game!
