After reading a lot of bad reviews, I had doubts about this game.. But it is better than I expected. Visually quite stunning, different mini games and puzzles, music (Middle Age) was very good and not too repetive. Big minus: the storyline is weak, didn t like the animal abuse and I am tired of battles against bears etc.
I recommend this game!

Dreampath: The Two Kingdoms Collector's Edition
Your sister, the Queen, has fallen deathly ill. Now you must travel to a faraway kingdom to find the cure.
I don´t understand all the good reviews. For me the game, based on the demo version was just boring. Vísually pale and amateurish. The cat figure was stiff and not natural. The fairy tale character got quickly boring. Not my cup of tea.
EIPIX is getting better and better. They´re my new favorite game developers. This game is visually stunning, Overall it is a good story with new minigames and different HOS. Only the Irish Accent of voice-overs was exaggerated. Personally I find EIPIX should work more on their characters/figures, they all look the same. More unexpected things should happen,
Overall it's a good game. But...I think the story ot Dickens is badly realized in this game. Apart from some "historical mistakes", like the Pretzel etc, in my opinion the game lacks of originality and flair. The music is also less good as in Nutcracker. Sorry Elephant Games, but I feel a bit disappointed...
I recommend this game!

Special Enquiry Detail: Engaged to Kill
Help detectives Turino and Lamote investigate the case of the brutal bride murderer.
Mixed emotions about this one. Pros: - stands out of the crowd, kind of fed up with the eerie ones - story line good - in the beginning - excellent HO scenes/graphics - liked the music
Cons: - the mini games are awful/stupid (no explanations, skip button fills slowly) - lacks technical wise: if the conversation between the 2 detectives starts, it's not possible to find special areas or to examine elsewhere in the area - story line is pointless in the end
This game series doesn't develop further. "James Patterson's Women's Murder Club" is better, also the first one of "Special Enquiry Detail", still it's worth to play it, even for a change.
Really love this ERS game. Pros: excellent, colourful graphics; good story line; challenging mini puzzles; no HO scenes :-); beautiful realistic locations Cons: the ghost-theme (black figure) is overdone
