Another HOG/adventure game with an over the top fantasy villain theme to it. Although I'd like to see more reality based games (crime, thriller, etc.) this one had enough 'present day' to it to keep me interested. I didn't find the HOS to be grainy at all, but some of the objects were a little obscure. I liked the twist of having to combine some of the items to find the one on the list. The music was a little tinny and repetitive but if the game's interesting enough I tend to tune it out anyway. I'll probably purchase this one when the SE comes out.
I recommend this game!

The Hidden object scenes are easy, but as for finding your way around to meet all of the objectives, there are so many active areas open at the same time that it's hard to keep track of where you're going as well as where you've already been that need to be re-visited. The game play has a lag at times, and the scenes are "skippy"...but that's probably because of my dinosaur of a computer...but maybe not. It's enjoyable enough, but at times feels like advancing though the game takes too much time to stay interested. I'd only recommend it for hardcore HOG/adventure fans.

This is my first experience with the Azada games and all I can say is...how did I ever overlook the other(s)?! The graphics were stunning and the objectives were just hard enough to be compelling, but not so hard that I got frustrated. The puzzles were difficult, but in a good way. I don't normally purchase collector's editions beacause of the price...but I just might make an exception for this one!
I recommend this game!

I've been playing HOGs for years now and this one was by far the most confusing and vauge one yet. First of all, I didn't understand the whole plot line, so I was just wandering around in the scenes without a clue as to why I was there or what I was supposed to be doing. Do not recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

Good to see another HOG that's set in the present time. The graphics are good, music is a little annoying though. The hidden objects are really easy to find but I like when the emphasis is more on the adventure than finding the necessary items to advance. Objectives are clear, and I like the hand icon when something is of importance rather than having to click all over the place to find one. The hint button recharges quickly. Good game overall...I think I'll purchase this one.

One of the most frustrating HOGs I've played in a long time. Sparkly areas everywhere, yet no idea what to do with any of them. The hints are of no help either because all they do is point you to the sparkly areas that you already know have to have something done with them...but WHAT?!
I don't recommend this game.

Good premise, great graphics and sound. Objects are easy to find and the objectives are clear cut. Hints recharge quickly. I wish the demos were longer though, so I could get a better feel for it.
I recommend this game!

The premise was really interesting, but as with almost all of the sample versions, this one was way too short to get a good feel for it (24 minutes of play was left at the end of the demo). The graphics/sound were good, and the 'live action added a nice touch. It may just be my computer, but there was some lag time in the cursor movement.
