This will be a short and sweet review where normally I give lengthy reviews. I loved this game, the storyline, the characters, the voice overs. I love the extra work that went into the game. I love the surprise responses as many as 3 different responses. It is not necessary to hear the added conversation but I enjoy it. There is many different responses for those of us who love voice overs and surprises at what is being said. The added touch of more than one response from the character is not necessasry for people who do not like that in a game, but I LOVE that in a Game.
I am playing Sherlock Holmes and I keep thinking the actor who did the voice of the Inspector would make a better voice for Sherlock Holmes. I love the bumbling loyal Rookie cop and his personality in this Game. I only have one con to the game and it is the hidden object screens are not brightly colored. I do not know why the Game Developer keeps using the dull colors in hidden object screens and hope they will change it to brightly colored screen. I am looking forward to the next Dorian Grey series. I highly recommend this Game especially if you love to solve murder mysteries and adventure Games.
I just finished the game and it took me 4-5 hrs so do not believe people who try and estimate and say it may be a short game.
I enjoyed the great voice overs, some of the puzzles were unique. The best part was no long boring list of hidden objects. I also enjoyed the storyline and the voices fit the characters.
I like the way the hidden object screen was done finding a certain number of objects or a single object like a key. The graphics could have been done better but I feel the pros outweigh the cons. I am going to go and play the bonus game now.

I own all of this Game Developers games and I appreciate their quality game testing, they do not use their customers for beta testing! I love the storyline it is very interesting. I love the map and the way we can jump instantly to location. I love the voice overs they are very well done. I own every game from this Developer and the majority are beautiful colored graphics with beautiful animation. It is a shame the G.D did not continue to use beautiful colored graphics in this game. This Game could have been so much more interesting to play if they had changed colors in the graphics and used more animation. I hate the bland lifeless colors used in all the graphics. The story could show a deserted town and remained interesting by using beautifully colored graphics. In my opinion the graphics are dull and lifeless not beautifully done like in Game Developers other games.
I hate all the mechanical assembly required, it is not fun for me.
I hate the Game Designer chose to use the most depressing, dark bluish graphics even in the hidden object screens it takes the fun out of the hidden object scenes they are dreary,lifeless, static graphics.
This game has a interesting storyline I buy games for the storyline especially with voices. I will not be buying Collectors Edition for the above reasons. I own every collector Edition thus far, but I will wait for this to go on sale. It is a shame because the voices in the game are very well done. I hope the Game Developer will not make this a habit of using dark, dreary, lifeless, colors and boring mechanical assembly of objects in future games. In my opinion a little of mechanical assembly is tolerated but this game carries it to the extreme.
If you are a frustrated wanna be detective like I am I hope you will give the demo a try and buy it. The graphics are beautifully done, the voice overs are great,and adds to the enjoyment of the Game. I like the way she nods her head when I get an item that is needed. Some people complained about this but I thought it made the Game more entertaining.
The story line is compelling to play you must find a serial killer reenacting crimes from the past before the killer strikes again. The killer taunts Angela writing the names of the next victim and you must find where he is hiding the names and take pictures for evidence. I liked the different mini games and especially the hidden object screens where you find objects that are alike.
I hope the Game Developer will continue with the Game Series because I will buy it. I actually jumped at one point in the game and had to laugh at myself. Finding dream catchers for hints is part of the fun, but do not worry the hint meter will refill and show 1 hint if your out of dream catchers. The Collectors is worth it for the bonus game puts more pieces of the Past serial Killing together.
The majority of people will disagree with me on my review.
First of all the Pros of the Game. Great voice overs beautifully done graphics no hidden object list fun mini games
I was so excited about this game that I purchased, until toward the end of the game, the gamer is forced to make a decision of life or death.
The majority of people who rated this either do not care about the morality of where there imagination takes them and what they are forced to do if they finish the game, or they did not reach close to the ending of the game. .
The Game ended at that point for me as I admit I was shocked! I will not allow my imagination to take me where it was being forced to go for the sake of a game. I am a Mom that has always monitored what Games my Children play.
A Game I thought was so innocent and fun, doing tasks working at a monastery undercover as a Monk to solve the mystery of a statue of an Angel that looked as if it wept tears of blood. It was fun doing the tasks. The voice overs were well done.
Graphics beautifully done. I was really enjoying the game until nearly at the end of the game when it was ruined for me and removed from my computer. When I was given instructions of what must be done with no way out of it, I sat stunned. I will not reveal it here otherwise to people it will not offend it would spoil the surprise for them. I refused to do it and regret buying the Game. Everyone has a line of morality, at least they should have and this crossed mine.
My Children will never play this game! I am glad I did play it first so I can protect them.
Everyone has to make their own decisions how far they will allow their imagination to take them for the sake of playing a game, and I have made mine. I regret buying the game but how else could I warn others.
If anyone wants to know what the Game Developer wants the Gamer to do in order to win the game email me.
I have to admit I have played many games but never saw anything like what is asked for the gamer to do . In my opinion and no one has to agree with me, it is highly offensive.
For now on I will be more cautious before rating a game. There was no warning I really was caught off guard and thought it was a innocent game. In my opinion it is not.
To my BFG Members please do not be offended this is my opinion and I had to write it because I shudder how many bought the game because of my previous rave reviews.
I apologize to everyone who writes me and lets me know they purchase games after reading my opinion of a game because they trust my reviews. On BFG Forum I wrote how much fun the game was but that was before the Game took a turn for the worse evil in my opinion. Why I am giving this Review instead of staying silent.
There will be people who read this and care and will warn others. There will be Grandparents, Mothers and Fathers that need to know before you allow your Children to play this game that seems so innocent but is not. There are people like me that would have wanted to be warned and would not have bought the Game if they had known.
This is why I am writing this review if it only helps one person it is worth the price of the Game. Everyone has an opinion and this is the first review I have ever written like this.
In my opinion this game should win game of the year thus far. I have never been so pulled into a story and the main reason is the voices done by Actors are so realistic! I feel as though I am actually part of the story.
The graphics are beautifully detailed showing the love the game developers put into the game. The mini games are unique. I appreciate the skip mini games fills in quickly on relaxing level.
What truly sets this game apart from all other games I have ever played from BFG is the hints are various characters that actually speak with a personality and tell you what to do! When I am stuck I want an answer now I do not want to hear "there is nothing to do here go to another location."
I love the fact as you touch the cyclops heads they speak different sentences, and many with a sense of humor.
If there is one thing I would have liked changed it is interactivity with the hidden object screens that are static. I cannot remove a star for this but in the next game I do hope the Game developers will put interactivity in their hidden object screens or just leave the hidden object screens with lists out of the game.
I played this game yesterday for 8 hours non stop except for eating and necessary breaks. I feel I am getting a lot for my money. I am grateful the game has not ended for me for I have not finished it yet.
I love the characters I meet even a spider is used for the web locks that talks! Each Cyclops has a unique personality.
I love the stragedy guide very nicely done with pictures also. I do not have to use it often because I love getting my hints from my cyclops companions.
I love the map! No you cannot just jump to a new place but there are shortcuts once you accomplish a task for a cyclops. I love the map because it clearly lets you see the entire blue print of the city as well as another view that lets you know what tasks need to be done.
I love the fact this game is not linear meaning I do not have to do things in a certain order, I am free to explore and solve other puzzles if I have the right items needed.
I will be sad to see this game end, I have enjoyed it so much. If people do not want to hear the voices of the actors you can mute it and do it the boring way and just read it. I just want to kick people in the butt who complain there is too much talking, just mute the voices and read the script, stop trying to steal the joy from those of us who love the actors voices!
The music is so beautiful it truly fits the environment of the game. Many times in games I mute the music because it gets on my nerves and does not fit the game. This music is so soothing. I have bought every collectors edition thus far from BFG and if I were to give my vote it would be this is my all time favorite!
Thank You Actors for doing a fantastic job with being the voices of the characters. Thank You Game Developers for giving us voices for the characters, this is why you have my vote to win Game of the Year Title.
I have never enjoyed a game and a story so much! I highly recommend this game especially if you are an adventure game lover. I really appreciate the fact this is not just a boring hidden object game it is truly a game that is interactive and I feel like I am really part of the story. I did not feel this way about the previous Margrave sacred heart ...hope I am remembering the title correct, the sequel far surpasses the original in my opinion.
I bought this game before 15 minutes into the demo. It is not a quiet boring solitaire game. I love the voices in the game, and interesting find the hidden objects no more boring lists!
I love the animation of it like when we restore a bridge and under the cards the materials are found.
The graphics are beautifully done and characters are fun to listen too. I enjoy buying the amulets at the stores and the unique way to get upgrades.
I am looking forward to more Solitaire games of this type. Thanks BFG for offering this it is my new favorite I will be playing daily I have beaten all the Kingdom Solitaire quests so I needed a new solitaire game while I wait for another Kingdom Solitaire Quest.
I have bought all card games released from BFG. I love the ability to replay a level for a perfect score. I play this in the no stress zone casual play and am really enjoying it.
If you love to play a solitaire game that is not boring has a story line with voices for the characters try demo and see why we are giving it 5 stars.
Please game developer I look forward to your next solitaire game as a sequel.
I bought the game before demo ended and this will be a short review so I can get back into it again. I love this game! The voices in it are perfect, the graphics very clear and beautifully done, animation is great, the mini games especially the knight one was so much fun. The storyline is compelling. This game can only be described with one word Awesome!
The game is more interactive and thankfully I have not seen a hidden object yet and hope I do not see one. After thousands of hidden object games since I have been a member of BFG since the start of it, I am bored out of my mind with hidden object games in a list.
I wanted different mini games and different music through out the game and thus far ERS game has done this as far as I have proceeded in the game. I highly recommend people to try the demo and see if you agree. I had no computer glitches and easy to install and download. Thanks for another great game. I love games with voices it really pulls me into the story more and again I just want to say the people who did the voices do a fantastic job.
I bought the game within 2 minutes of the demo,I stopped the game to purchase it, this is how much I recognize a great game when I see it.
The voice overs and acting is very well done. The graphics are beautiful.
The storyline compelling to solve it and be the heroine. My favorite part is the villain taunting her.
The hidden object screens are beautifully done with interactivity not just a static screen. There are no dark areas you have to worry about.
The hints and skip charge up very fast .
If I had one small complaint it would be please Dev less hidden object screens it breaks up the storyline. The music is boring but I still give it 5 stars and look forward to the next game from this Game Developer and designer.
Highly recommend the game.
The game is easy to download and install. No tech problems with glitches so it proves it is possible to release a game without glitches.
I am honored to be the 1st to rate this game. I loved everything about the game.
The storyline is a mystery a woman is found on the side of the road unconscious and there is a bloody knife next to her but has no wounds on her. Is she a victim or a villain? The player is a psychic who must find out her name and what happened to her as she lays in a hospital bed.
The graphics are live actors and their voices draw you deeper into the story. The store is where you buy furniture for your office by finding a certain item. The mini puzzles are fun. There are rewards for accomplishing certain tasks.
There is a map that is interactive and gives you clues where to go and what tasks need done.
There is a outline of the woman's body that shows the symptoms she is exhibiting.
This game is new and exciting. The hidden object screens are well done but the best part is the adventure this means there is not one hidden object screen after another. I hate that in a game. We have freedom to roam around and explore.
Everything about this game proves it will most likely win some kind of award because in my opinion it is better than Dire, or mystery of 13 skulls. I hope everyone will try this game because if I could I would give it 10 stars.
