I'm sorry, but I just didn't like this game at all. The music was too crazy for me and I couldn't get over the fact that you could not task more than one thing at a time. Meaning, I could not click for one worker to do something and when he/she was done with the first task, assign another task, and so on. You cannot task in advance like most other games! I had to wait for the worker to get back to the home-base before clicking to the next task. Poor planning on the gaming and development part. I need something a little more active and difficult. On to the next.....
I don't recommend this game.

I was open to liking this game since I love the Alice storyline. All the characters are adorable and timeless. However, right away the game lost me because of several factors:
1. There are no options for difficulty levels
2. You cannot turn off the game cursor and use standard
3. In order to use items in inventory, you have to hold and drag the item. That requires two hands!

I have to be honest that I didn't make it past 15 minutes of the demo before I deleted it. Wanted to love it, but didn't. :-(
I don't recommend this game.

I think the graphics are amazing in this game, but I didn't really like it that much. The main issue I had was everything you collect looks the same, so you really don't know where to put things! I have played HO games for years and love the high difficulty level, but this was not what I expected. The scenes are stunning, and I have to say that again. However, this is not a buy. I also didn't like the stop sound if you tried to click something and nothing was there.
I don't recommend this game.

I don't really know what all the fuss is about with this game. I didn't think the graphics were that great and the story line is typical. It just wasn't a grabbing game for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I love this series, so I was excited to see a new game released. The game has great mini games, which I thought could be somewhat difficult at times (I like the challenge). Additionally, I adored the monkey and found him to be quite entertaining. As long as you don't keep clicking on him, he will leave you alone (for the most part).
Great storyline and graphics. A definite buy!!
I recommend this game!

The game concept was nice, a twist on an old-school tale. I thought the game was a little too easy for me. I would prefer interactive HOS, but I overlooked it. The graphics were a bit too monotoned for my taste.
Overall, it was a decent game. I would only buy if there was nothing else on the market I wanted.
I recommend this game!

Played demo, 60 minutes. Three modes, goes up to expert with no hints. Music was decent, not annoying, and forgot there was any music after playing for a while.
Game had good graphics, interactive HOS, and the minigames were easy.
I don't really have anything bad to say, but it just did not keep my interest. I am a huge HOAG player, with mostly games like Dark Tales, Grim Yales, and Haunted Halls. So, after playing the demo you might see why I was not sold on this one when comparing the the above games.
I recommend for people, but not for me.
I recommend this game!

I am a huge fan of this series. The opening scene was totally unexpected and well done. There is definitely a mixture of funny and creepy in this game. The music is perfect, just enough to keep you creeped out, yet not annoying like most games out there.
I played in expert mode. I can't get enough of Haunted Halls and Dr. Blackmore! Pure perfection.
I recommend this game!

Very rarely do I give a game 5 stars, but I felt this game was deserving of just that.
I played expert mode, which is a preference to get the true gaming experience.
I loved the graphics, adventure aspect, and the hidden objects were perfectly done. Scenes were clear for me and the game was easy to move around. Some people may not like the travel part of searching, but it adds to the game for me.
I recommend this game!

This reminds me of shopping blocks, which is a much older game. Not very inventive, but passed the hour. I would not purchase.
I don't recommend this game.
