Oh my! What a fantastic joy this game is. It has everything. Whimsical, funny at times, frightening at times, but always, always fascinating. To read, to figure, to look, to think. Yes, this is even better than Child of the Forest, and that was a fabulous game. Buy it. You will not regret it. Game of the year! Must own!
I recommend this game!

I have to add my kudos to the other reviewer's opinions. This is a great game, and definitely one to leave on the desktop. There are so many things to do! This is not just a simple, old-fashioned HO. So much more. Funny characters, clear graphics, puzzles, mini games, oh just so much more that it can't all be mentioned. My advice? Trial it and see for yourself. This game will keep me happy for a long time to come, and I will look into the original because i didn't play that one.
I recommend this game!
It should have been a tremendous achievement, but the tunnel through the Ridge of Leviathan became the site of a great disaster. What really happened that day?

As good or better than Soaring City! This series is becoming one of the all time greats, and all I can say is try it. Better yet, just buy it and enjoy! Beautiful graphics, wonderful voice overs, an engrossing story line, collectibles, achievements, HOS that use items from our inventory, and on and on. The developers put their hearts and minds into this one and deserve to be rewarded with big sale figures. I for one am a fan!!!!

I beta tested this game and enjoyed it. It has all the stuff I love, great story, collectibles, IHOS, great graphics, all combined with adventure game overtones.
I decided to try this game again after reading ALL of the reviews. Sometimes I rely on the number of stars a game gets, and had forgotten my beta test. Thankfully I took the time to read several reviews and NOT rely on the star system.
Give this game a try! I recommend it.

So many reviews have covered all the wonderful aspects of this game! They are right. The graphics are perfect. The voice overs are perfect. The story is fascinating as are the characters. I was gripped from the start, and found myself lingering in certain scenes just to enjoy the beautiful graphics!
I'm playing it a second time so I can collect all those cute little critters, some of which I missed the first time around. And this second time is proving to be as entertaining as the first time!
I defiantly recommend this game!

I was sailing along thoroughly enjoying Fierce Tales-Marcus Memory, and a sale came up. Soooo, I decided to see if this was worth the price, and as soon as I started, I couldn't stop!
So many wonderful games out right now, but this one is a delight. Bright, colorful graphics, great story line ( a woman bad guy for a change) puzzles that are just right, morphing objects, achievements, etc.
The only little con is the shortness of the game. Maybe it was just me? It did seem short, but what the hey, it was pure fun while it lasted!
Now back to Fierce Tales!
Oh, oh. Just saw a new game..........oh, well, another day. Running out of money!
I might just replay this one. Did miss a morphing object! Darn!

I completely agree with all the rave reviews, so I'm not going to repeat them.
What's important to me? I became so engrossed in the game I couldn't stop! I played right through until my husband became annoyed!That hasn't happened to me in a long time. The last game that held me this way was Soaring City, and there are similarities in craftsmanship between the two.
I completely recommend it!

I almost purchased another game using the 20% discount, but luckily I thought "I'll just try this one before deciding" ! So glad I did! Enough collectibles to satisfy even a hard-core collectible nut like me. Turtles, Shells, and Sea Creatures. A sweet dolphin friend, great details in the graphics, and on and on.
As I said, perfect!
Purchased after 15 minutes of the trial.

I bought the game based on the reviews because I was going on vacation to a place with no WiFi, and wanted games to play.
At first I thought "oh boy, should have trialed it", but I actually really started getting into the game! Took a while, but after the first chapter I was hooked. It's different, true, but in a good way. The graphics are great, the puzzles are fun, and the story line is fascinating.
What was the holdup at the beginning? Very hard to put my finger on that. It just played differently than I was used to, I guess.
Do the trial and see what you think. But if I had done just the trial, I might not have purchased! PS The are achievements, and cranes to find.

WARNING Make sure to see if you have found all the cranes in one world before going through a portal to a new world. You can't go back, and I missed one crane! I hate to miss collectibles.

I came so close to missing this incredible game! It was the wonderful reviews from players I've come to trust that caused me to download this gem.
The ONLY glitch (and it's small) is the short "loading" from scene to scene. Other than that, the sweet, funny, charming world you enter from the first to the last is so worth the time to become familiar with the game play.
It's different. Unique. Colorful. Funny. The characters are totally believable! Like a great science fiction novel infused with steam punk contraptions, you just have to try it. Give it a while. You won't regret it!
And it's adventure only, no HOS, which I find interesting as a change. Great puzzles which are quite doable, but they are easy to skip. But the game play itself is one long lovingly created puzzle anyway!!!
