From the very beginning I was captured by the opening video. You feel as though you are floating, flying, down a beautiful river when suddenly you swoop down over the edge of a water fall and gently you float across the crevasse to the other side and continue along your journey through desert sands, and mountains. As you start the game you soon realize that the opening scene is a preview of the lands you will visit during the game. The music really adds a beautiful touch to the journey. The game is a fantasy with adorable creatures and an awesome storyline...finally something different than the evil witch and the Princess! I really enjoyed the puzzles too, some were unique and not too challenging, just enough to make you feel like you acomplished something. I really enjoyed this game.. I am not deleting this one as I will play it with my grand-daughters..I highly recommend this game!
I recommend this game!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game! I can say that this is my new favorite game, and I have played almost all of BFG games!The characters, the storyline, the artwork, the music and puzzles were outstanding. The story gets you so involved that it's hard to stop playing. I feel that the CE was worth the money for me and I don't say that very often! It gave more closure to the story......I can't wait for the next one! I highly recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game! It was a sequel to the original Nightmare Realm. The graphics were fantastic! Absolutely nightmarish...or beautiful! The puzzles were not hard. Not many HOGs, some new creative puzzles I enjoyed. I even felt this one, the fear, the urgency to save my husband as well as many other characters! I really recommend this one!

I couldn't stop playing this one! I found the story to be engaging. I couldn't stop playing because I wanted to find out just what was going on! I loved it. I have seen better graphics and more complicated puzzles, but for me the story and characters were worth it! I would like to see more games like this!
I recommend this game!

I wasn't too sure about this one...at first, as I delved into the story further I became intriqued by not just the storyline, but by the unique puzzles. Also the storyline allowed for very imaginative scenes, characters and puzzles.
The graphics were crisp, the HOGS were rather easy. I felt a little frustrated on one of the unique puzzles, I did however feel the satisfaction once I completed it! The use of video really brought the story to life and pulled you into the SURFACE!
I really enjoyed this game!

The game seemed interesting at first. Loved the opening scene with the live actors. I thought the close ups of the characters eyes was interesting. The graphics were good. I really expected more from this game. The HOGs were easy, the puzzles were interesting and not too hard. I thought the music could have been better and changed more to go along with what was happening in the game. My biggest complaint about the game was that there was too much going back and forth to complete tasks. It seemed like every task you had to figure out where you saw the ? that was needed, run back to get it...etc. That can make a game rather tedious for me and I find myself wishing the game would end soon. I would probably recommend the SE game, but not the CE. The bonus game was not worth it to me.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game! I loved the storyline. Imaginative, scientific, pseudo-history. The puzzles were different, I really liked the refreshing change. Some HOGs, clearly drawn. I really like the games that have good storylines and draw me in, this game did exactly that! Great graphics, sound. I recommend this game!
