What a great game! Good old fashioned HOG Adventure. Love the old style graphics & creepy music. Storyline average but stories don't bother me, it's the quest that counts. Quite a good length of game too. Only found 33 of the 35 symbols so the secret room not available to me. Oh dear I'll have to play it again to get it! Got it on the offer for less than £3 too. Less than a pint in some places! Great value.
I recommend this game!

After the debacle of the last MCF game I thought I'd wait & see some reviews of this before trying it. They were so good I bought it with my 2 saved credits as everybody was saying it was back to great MCF. OH NO IT ISN'T! This is absolutely nothing like an MCF game. Classic Elephant style game of which there are many so why can't we have our MCFs back? Very average. Some of it too hard even on the easier levels.No storyline to speak of. V good graphics though. Disappointed to say the least.
I don't recommend this game.

Thought the games had gone a bit downhill lately but this is great! Back to a proper good old fashioned game without any weird stuff/SF/fantasy gone mad. Straightforward. Not too easy or hard. Stop moaning about if the story is cute or scary. Who cares if it's good. It's just a quest & pleasantly passes the time. And at £6 for a CE I'm not complaining!

20 reviews ALL 5 stars? This is muddled, weird & confusing. The last Enigmatis was wonderful. Why do you "fix" things that ain't broke? This is all fantasy type stuff.Not everyone likes that. VERY disappointed. Some of us still like good old fashioned Adventures. Enigmatis doesn't need monsters.
I don't recommend this game.

I found this game confusing & disjointed. It tries to combine ancient & modern themes & it just doesn't work. Rather boring. Nice graphics. I don't use sound so can't comment on that. Oh for a traditional HOG/Adventure..........................
I don't recommend this game.

At last a game that gets a thumbs up right across the board. Loved it. Huge game with loads to do. You need a good memory (or you can cheat a bit with the map). HOS's and scenes where you add items have just the right amount of challenge. Great graphics. Don't play with sound so don't know about that element. No glitches whatsoever. Even bonus game is good. Best game in weeks.
I recommend this game!

Such a gorgeous looking game. Beautiful graphics & gentle type of game. Searching for a serial killer. Bit different to the usual abandoned cities, asylums & mansions. But OMG is the challenge poor. You only ever carry 3 or 4 items around at a time. Locked door? Don't worry the key will be in the next couple of scenes. This could have been a really great game but lack of challenge knocks it right down.
I don't recommend this game.

Enjoyed this a lot. Have played hundreds of games & get a bit jaded by some of them these days but I thought the balance was just about right on this one. Not too hard or easy. (But PLEASE BF can we have an adventure and/or HOG WITHOUT puzzles. I hate them and skip 99% of them). Story is irrelevant to me so won't go there. I like the challenge of different items being required for different objectives. Yes a good one.
I recommend this game!

Not a bad game and I liked the fact there were no HO scenes for a change. But there is not much of a challenge really. Items found are used almost in order. I like to use my brain a bit & remember where to use items. The hint/skip buttons are HORRENDOUSLY slow. Had time to go & make lunch while waiting for it to complete. But passed a fairly pleasant few hours.
I recommend this game!
Black Isle was supposedly abandoned after an earthquake but the truth is much more sinister! Join the Mystery Trackers and learn the truth!

This is a great game. Of late I have found the HOGs a bit toothless and samey. Not this one. Big game. LOADS of scenes. A good memory required for the items that are used in all corners of the game. Challenging puzzles. Storylines don't interest me it's the challenges I like. Still playing & enjoying very much!
I recommend this game!
