This is just not visually pleasing at all, not much fun to play and definitely not worth any of my money.
I usually find some redeeming quality in any game because someone actually invested their time and work and I feel I have to respect that by submitting constructive criticism so games can improve.
I just can't find anything positive to say about this one. It's just bad.
I don't recommend this game.

I am not a fan of mixing reality images and characters in fantasy games. Although it was well done, it's just not something I find appealing.
The rest of the game is pretty typical and average. I found myself using the hint button a lot to know where to go next but it charges fast so wasn't too annoying.
I recommend this game!

This is one of the harshest rating I have ever given to an HOG. This game has nothing going for it. Zero adventure with no story to speak of. The artwork is dull and lifeless.
It all spells no fun for me
I don't recommend this game.

This game missed the mark for me on many levels but mainly there us just too much reading! I barely made it through the demo. It could have been interesting and fun, I enjoyed the HOS and the story was interesting but the whole game feels like it came out 10 years ago. I might be interested to buy it after a major renovation but not as it stands.
I don't recommend this game.

Tesla and mystery in the same sentence... I had to give this game a try and I wasn't disappointed. The animation is fun to look at and the characters are well done. Slightly too much conversation for me though. At the beginning Tesla says he will be there for help and I wish he would stop interfering with my adventure and just wait for me to ask him something!
It's a light, fun game with nice artwork. Definitely rated E for everyone!
I recommend this game!

Visually breathtaking with an art deco charm. I have played the demo and so far I love what I see and the way the game is progressing. This CE is a definite buy for me.
Granted, I am not giving this game any points for innovation. The HOS are typical and the mini puzzles are fun but not terribly challenging. However the game does have an interesting story with a mystery factor and the artwork is simply stunning.
I recommend this game!

This game has no ghosts, lost souls, vengeful spirits or blood & gore. The action doesn't take place in a mental hospital, lost town or haunted castle... and yet, I enjoyed it!
Sure it feels like we are walking in a cross between Charlie's chocolate factory and the world of Oz ...and there are more flowers than the most famous botanical garden but the artwork is cute and I liked the game.
If I could give 3 and 1/2 stars that would have been my rating for this one
I recommend this game!

This is based on the demo not the full game. The plot line is old and tired, we have to save souls (yawn!). Right off the bat as your plane crashes, you have to play 2 HOG in a row, that was not promising for me since they are not the reason I buy these games.
The character's voices are done by what I can only assume are professionals, they draw you in the story. The artwork just shy of stunning and the game moves along nicely. HOG's are cluttered, sooty piles of miscellaneous things, not much thought put into them at all.
I am not sure this game is worth the price of a CE but it's Sunday and I have too much time on my hands.
I recommend this game!

This was a surprising find this morning, I was not expecting much so I was impressed. The graphics are well done, though a little dark and chaotic, the music was tolerable and even pleasant at times, the story is worth following and the action scenes are just long enough and well executed.
Well worth the money for a few hours of distraction.
I recommend this game!

Admittedly, I was disappointed when I saw the CE of the day was a pirate adventure. Didn't we just get one of these a few weeks ago?
It's slow to get start, the entire museum part was easy, tedious and not impressive but I kept going and the adventure began... The graphics and animations are stunning. The game play is typical and brings nothing new but is well executed. You have to save the girl, how uncommon, right?!
Despite a definite lack of innovation and my dislike for anything 'pirate" I am adding this to my collection of CEs because the adventure is entertaining and visually breathtaking.
I recommend this game!
