As always, I urge people to buy the collector's edition. Yes, it's more expensive, but these games are VERY complex and you can get lost very quickly if you don't have the strategy guide on hand. Also, read the guide VERY carefully or you will miss things.
It was an excellent game, very much what I expect for Blue Tea and Dark Parables. One of the things I love about Dark Parables is how all the games tie into each other, things from previous games show up in subsequent games. Do not buy the games out of sequence or you won't quite get what's going on sometimes.
My only gripe is that I figured out the connection of the Wolf Queen and the Sisters very quickly, though it didn't ruin the game for me. The bonus content was fun and also worth paying $7 more. All in all, everything I've come to expect from Dark Parables and I can't wait for the next one.
This advice is for both 'Dark Parables' Games - do yourself a favor and spend the money for the Collector's Edition. It is definitely worth it! The Strategy Guide alone is worth the price if you get lost, which is easy to do in these games, or have trouble with the puzzles.
'The Exiled Prince' is a great sequel to 'Briar Rose' and it's an interesting twist on the classic fairy tales. The art was beautiful and the gameplay keeps your attention. I can't tell you how many times I've played this game so far and it still keeps me interested.
I recommend this game!

Growing up in the 90s, I was always a huge fan of Waldo and when I saw the game, I was excited but unsure if it would hold my interest since I like games that are complicated. I was very stunned to find myself having a bit of a hard time.
'Where's Waldo? Fantastic Journey' is harder than it looks. If you've ever played 'Where's Waldo?' as a child, you basically know the drill - You have to find Waldo, Wizard Whitebeard and Wanda in pictures that are very complicated as well as find a list of things that the people in the pictures other than the three main characters are doing.
The pictures in the game are the same as from the books, but now they're animated, which makes the game more fun but also more complicated. Plus you have to keep an eye out for Odlaw. All in all, a game that will challenge even hardcore gamers and hidden object fans.
