Its a 5 fishies. I haven't enjoyed playing a game this much in a long time. Might be the season but the developers had the right mix. Can't complain about anything. Won't go into detail as this game has it all.
The CE is worth the cost.
I recommend this game!

This is definitely no MCF game. It is not the beautiful games we have come to expect. But...it is a fair game if you don't get your head set on the normal type of MCF.
-Map is different, interactive
-Journal is helpful
-Hint is helpful
-Use of real actors, great. Except Lea Thompson was overly dramatic.
-One minigame that comes up many times and drove me nuts
-There really isn't a bonus chapter as it is integrated into the whole game
-Extra content isn't worth the CE price, unless you love morphing object. At this point I deleted the game.

Disappointed, but a fair game. Hope BF does much better next year as I look forward to their yearly game.

ERS always does an excellent job and this is no exception.
No HO's, thats right..not even one
No map, but you don't need it because you finish 3 or 4 scenes and you don't come back to them
Journal is good, but not necessary
Minigames are not too hard
VO is good
I got the CE and enjoyed the bonus game
Did not have to use SG

Didn't recognize the developer of this game, but it was a pretty good game.
No map, but you really didn't need one since you didn't have to go all over the game.

I don't give many 5 stars but this one deserved it.
HO's were interactive and not too many of them
Mini games were ok, not my thing
Hint tells you what to do
Map is interactive and not confusing, all maps should be this way
Actual actors

You can depend on Elephant Games to do a great job.

I enjoyed this game but was not overly impressed.
Big plus is there is an interactive map and it was needed
Journal, but not needed
Hint System works well, but rarely needed
Mini games, not good at them, so skipped a few
SG not needed

This sequel leaves room for another sequel.
Some of the HO's are different
Hint system just lets you know nothing to do in a scene
Didn't need the SG
Minigames were not my thing
Journal is sometimes helpful

This one reminds me a lot of Azada games. Its good but frustrating.
-there is a map, it is sort of interactive. Needed to be fully interactive.
-mini games were more than I wanted and hard
-HO's were typical and a little hard to find items
-beautiful game graphics
-no journal

Lots of different twists on usual HOG games. I'm not a big mini game player and I found that I skipped most of them and it seemed there were a lot of games.
story line is usual
hint button works well
no map, but not needed
journal is helpful
graphics are nice
