I NEVER write reveiws but I felt that I had to on this one because I read them before I buy a game and this one is a definite Must Buy. Graphics and scenery is wonderful. I felt like I was immersed in the surroundings. I usually like more of the adventure or puzzle aspect of these games and kind of dread the monotany of the hidden object scenes but these were so different and interactive that I actually looked forward to them..... Some were basic hidden object scenes. Not too hard & not too easy. Some had interactive areas where you had to do something or move something in the scene to find what you were looking for. Some had silouettes of the hidden objects and you had to find them in a certain order. For example...you may have to find a needle and thread to sew up a tapestry to raise it to find something else. There were even hidden object scenes that had mini games within the scene. I loved this game due to these variations. Length of the main game was a good, long story and many areas to visit and revisit. The only negative is the bonus play was kind of short compared to other collectors editions but was still worth it. Hints were useful and hint button would actually let you know if there was nothing to do in the area that you're in at the time which really helps when I got a little stuck so I didn't waste my time wandering around too much. Great game...well worth it!!
