I really enjoyed this game. The graphics were top notch and the game seemed to flow nicely. There are quite a lot of locations, maybe not as many as in the " Brink of Consciousness" games, but a bunch. This game was on the easier side of the scale, but I very much liked it. I hope they will do a sequel.

Not my all time favorite in this series, but plenty good. I leave the detailed reviews for others, I just like to mention when I really like a game; and I did this one.
I recommend this game!

Much better than the last one I thought. I haven't finished this one yet but I am really enjoying it. Thank You for a satisfying installment in the series.
This game is not one to excite me. It seems on the simplistic side, with not much challenge between finding an object and knowing right where to go to use it. I am only halfway thru the demo, so maybe the game gets better ? I don't think I will finish it.
I don't recommend this game.

I don't play this game frequently, and haven't since I first got it. Despite that, after a break of two or three months I really enjoy playing it. I wish that the " announcer " had more variety, it gets way old hearing the same 5 or 6 things repeated. All in all this is a game that I will play for years and still enjoy it.
I remember thinking when the first "Christmas Stories" game came out, that it seemed like a higher quality game than most, and more fun than most. I have continued to enjoy them. I haven't completed the demo but I will definitely buy this game.
I recommend this game!

I save the detailed reviews for others. I don't play with the sound on very often, I don't care a whole lot about a story line or the dialogue either. I liked this game. As a couple of reviewers alluded to, this game is not quite on the level of a good Grim Façade, Shadow Wolf or Puppetshow ( insert your own favorite here) game, but it is still good. I found it fun to play and quite enjoyable. I hope they make a few more in this series.
You've read the more in depth reviews, covering the graphics and storyline. I don't play a game looking to find things that I don't like. Usually I either enjoy one, or I uninstall it within 5 or 15 minutes. No, this game is not perfect but I did find it somewhat different and interesting. I had fun with the HO scenes and mini games. As long as Big Fish keeps making games like the Grim Façade, Puppetshow, Maestro and the Shadow Wolf series I will be happy.
I think I'm about halfway through this game, and have been enjoying it. There are only a couple of series of games that I really get excited about. Shadow Wolf, Haunted Legends, Grim Tales and most of the Puppet Show series I have really gotten into. In this Maestro I appreciate how they have changed up the typical hidden object scenes a bit. The game has flowed nicely with no glitches. The graphics are comparable with a top level game, in my opinion. I also enjoy the fact that this game is not set in Fantasy Land/ Fairyville. I skip right over new releases as soon as I see that theme. If you have liked the other games in the Maestro line, I think you'll like this one pretty well too.
