I completely lost track of my surroundings while playing this game! I was so immersed in the gorgeous graphics, the soothing music, and the story line, there were times I actually forgot to play the game because I was so taken in. Kudos and applause to the developers!
I recommend this game!

I would have given the game 5 stars if the cursor had been more accurate...I lost more than once because of the time it took me to get the object I wanted to become active instead of everything around it.
I recommend this game!

It seems like I've been waiting forever for a straightforward mystery to solve. The graphics are great, the storyline is intriguing, and the mini games don't require a masters degree in physics and/or engineering to solve. This is a definite buy for me!
I recommend this game!

Just based on the demo, I found this to be an intriguing story line. It's clearly part of the Haunted Hotel series, and if you read the synopsis, you know what you're getting into before you play. The mini games had just the right amount of challenge, unlike some of the others I've played where you have to have a degree in physics or engineering to figure out. The graphics, while not live action, were very good. 5 stars!

I had to comment on this one! I'm a huge fan of this type of game, but I don't review them because to be honest the'yre pretty much all the same and once you've played one...well...you get the picture; but NOT THIS TIME! Not only is it visually stunning, but the originality and sheer genius and creativity that went into the story line, mini games, and even the HOGs is unsurpassed. Smooth linear flow without too much hand-holding, and "jump to" map made this a truly enjoyable experience!
Do NOT miss your chance!
I recommend this game!

I literally couldn't wait for the SE to come out because I had to find out how it ended! It was like reading a really great book where you can't wait to turn the next page. I liked the different take on the standard HO scenes...you had to find items to use on other items in order to find more items, instead of just cherry-picking all the items on the list. Great graphics and excellent VOs. I liked the live action interspersed here and there as well. I was so enthralled with the storyline that I was even able to forgive the misspellings in some of the text...some people just aren't good at spelling...lol.
I recommend this game!

The storyline has been done...but not quite this imaginatively! Kudos to the developers! There's a lot to do, but it's all pretty linear and coherent, and there's a map, which helps a lot and the hint button is direct and charges pretty quickly. There's a new twist on the HO...that gives you the option of playing Mahjong instead of looking for the items, and you can even toggle back and forth if you like. I only played the demo but from what I can gather this is going to make for quite lengthy game play based on everything that needs to be done. This is a definite buy for me!

ERS has done it again! This game and others of this quality is what got me hooked on HO/adventure games in the first place! Live action actors with believable voice-overs, gripping storyline and 'put on your thinking cap' minigames...Bravo!
I recommend this game!

Yes, some of the objects in the HOS were small, but I don't really mind a little challenge. I liked that I had to put on my thinking cap to figure out the objectives. I I had any complaint, it would be some of the minigames and that the directions were a little confusing...but all in all...I had fun!
I recommend this game!
