Too slow to be a 'rush' game!

If this is strictly for children under the age of 9, I'd say, "Great Job," but it is NOT. The graphics were very disappointing--not clear or crisp & simple yet exaggerated. The first 5 levels are a tutorial (that can be skipped) and I could not make it to level 5 b/c I had no patience. The game is so slow & does not function smoothly! This is a LAUGH compared to all the other 'rush' games. Definitely a meandering stroll!!
I don't recommend this game.

I've said it before & I will say it again, "I love a good sequel!" The story picks up just where it left off & has great progression. So, those questions you were coming up with in the first installment, actually get answered! Story immersion is just part of the fun. There are so many different type of puzzles in the game & those that are repeated get progresslvely harder. CHALLENGE! The graphics are stellar & the characters are distinct. No doubt, a winner in my book
I recommend this game!

It's always nice to see a sequel. I love a good storyline & this sequel continues YOUR journey, but not the story progression of the first game. But no worries. The game play was challenging, as well as, the HOGs. One of the better games, I would say. Not my fav, but definitely worth mentioning. The visual effects were great. I hate it when you cannot find an object in an HOG because you cannot tell one object from another! No problem with that here. Worth your money!
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game! I loved the first Haunted Hills & I am glad to say this one follows its lead. Game play is PACKED full of content & storyline. While playing, you never forget that it is a mystery because you are always on the search to progress through the game. HOG sceens are very clear & items are easily distinguishable, but not ever easy to find. There is a challenge! The only thing that I did not like is the flashing notes sign. It's probably great for a new or intermediate level player, but I just did not need to document every little thing. But other than that...BE READY TO BE ENTERTAINED.
I recommend this game!

Finally, a regular game club game that has collector's edition quality! It was VERY engaging & thought provoking in solving the in game puzzles & the overall mystery of the game. Expect to actually put some time into this game because it will last more than the standard "one night stand". I loved the visual & sound effects, very CRISP & clear. But it did run a little slow on my machine regarding transitions from puzzles & room to room. A great HOG with a good story line.
I recommend this game!
