Game tells you "area cleared" when you have done all you are supposed to do. There is a twist in this game that is refreshing, won't say more as it might be a spoiler. Graphics are a little grainy but okay. Could have done without all the sparkles.
Once I had finished the sample and bought I ended up having to start at the beginning. That was a bummer.
Worth the CE price.
I recommend this game!

Very disappointed that the game is not a true Azada. For what it is its a good game. I bought it without the SG and was able to play the game without going out for help. I had to turn down the sound because there is a very annoying "sound" when you pick up an item.
If your looking for Azada this is not it.
I recommend this game!

Finally, a game worth the CE price. This is a long game and with the bonus content even longer. I do find that the designers must be tired of the game toward the end because you get more HO's. These HO's are a nice break from the regular HO's, but still think there are too many.
You don't need a SG to play this game. The hint button works very well. Beautiful graphics and the bonus game has a twist in it. Mini games are interesting but I'm not a whiz at math so some of them I just skipped.
My negative in this game is mini games have very little instructions. I figured out most but had to skip several for lack of information on how to play.
I recommend this game!

I got bored so didn't buy the game. So glad I waited until it came out at regular price. I expect something really special when a CE is offered but it seems that BF is letting in more and more fairly good games and selling them as CE's. If there were not CE's I probably would have bought it and made my way through it.
Not a bad game but couldn't hold my interest.
I recommend this game!

I didn't even play through the trial. The HOG's are too frequent and too time consuming. Music is awful and the graphics are fair at best. I don't like these types of games where you feel like your playing in a garbage dump.
I tried this game because the reviews seemed good. So my review is my personal preference. Since the game is at regular price it's worth a try.
I don't recommend this game.

You don't need a SG for this game. Hint system is good. Not too many HO's. I've found the Fear for Sale games to always be good games.
I recommend this game!

Game quality is good. This is a Boom Zap game and they usually put out great games. The hint button works well and no need to have a walkthrough. There are under 5 HO scenes. Wish this would happen in more CE games. In place of HO's there are several mini games that are not too bad. I had to turn the sound way down because it is all piano music and it just about drove me nuts.
If you need a break from fast paced games and CE's this is a good options.
I recommend this game!

Am I the only one who thinks that a CE should have less HO scenes? This games has lots of them but thankfully they are not too hard. But really, this game has more than its fair share.
There is no map. You can play this game without the SG. The hint system is good. It is a good game but glad I had a free game credit to use for it.
My 7 year old grandson played it with me and he could figure most of it out. So not too much of a challenge. Mini games are okay.
I recommend this game!

Okay game, not much of a challenge. Graphics are okay, story line is a little dull. I got this with a free game club punch and would have been disappointed if I had to pay for it at regular price let alone CE price. Played most of the game in one evening.
I don't recommend this game.

I've played Ravenhearst since the beginning and I have mixed feelings about this one. BF did their job excellently. Beautiful graphics, music is just right but not sure they should have taken the context so far. I found one scene that I used the SG a lot just to get through it.
Please BF no more morph scenes, I absolutely hate these and what a waste of time.
I would like to see directions on how to play the mini games.
I try not to use the SG unless really stuck but found myself using it a lot more than I wanted to.
All in all it was a game worth waiting a whole year for and I hope we will see another one next Thanksgiving.
I recommend this game!
