I ONLY PLAYED 8 MIN. OF THIS GAME AND KNEW IT WAS A KEEPER. If you have played Plants versus zombies ,and liked it this one is just as good --and has a storyline. The color and graphics are bright and clear, background music could use some imagination. there is only one mode of play,but plenty of goodies to by from the store.I am going to enjoy this one .After playing so many H.O. games it is nice to sit back and not have to use so much grey matter.
I recommend this game!

This review is based on the demo. I only played for 20 mins. and decieded to purchase it. This particular addition to the Fear For Sale series is a welcome reprieve from Sunnyvale. the producers have picked up their collective socks in my opinion. The background sounds and music suit the story line and voice overs are acceptable.It seems to start out a little on the slow side as I keep wanting it to move along faster.[I have no patience]But so far so good This game is definitely not for beginners . BRAVO ZULU TO ALL INVOLVED!!!
I recommend this game!

This is based on the demo only, so I have no idea how long it will be or how many chapters it consists of.As with the rest of the Maestro series you will not be disappointed. It has everything you have come to expect from the series.I say this without going into the specifics. There are no voice overs, an in game strategy guide[bonus for those of us lazy folks] or in my case it's about patience[LOL]. Some games take days to get through because I like to puzzle my way out and quite frankly I don't care about timing. I would have given this game 5 stars down the board except for one small issue that I have to say is a personal thing --I do not like looking for shadow/outlines of objects! And the object are no where to be seen , You have to figure out what to open,knock over,push or pull with no guidance what -so-ever.Now I have some patience but this was just plain annoying!.I do however recommend this game to all and wish you happy gaming. Bravo Zulu B.F. Maestro Please!!

I enjoyed the first one so much that i jumped on this one with high expectations. I was extremely let down. I won,t say the game was boring as i only played the demo, but I found the game sluggish.The inventory bar became a real pain as it took forever to come up- and then wouldn't stay long enough to get what was required.Near the end of the hour I found if you touched it on the right spot it came up nicely. The graphics were good the background music if you didn't like it -turn it off.I felt the game could use some polish but hard to say for sure without playing the whole game. Undecided as to buy or not to buy.I think I'll wait for a review on a completed game to see if it picks up any.I don't blame the game I blame myself for the high expectations.I may be wrong on this one ---I can't recommend it.If you haven't yet play Broken Tune first and see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

What were the producers of this game thinking.I am an all time fan of MCF, have all the games and played then over and over. This one didn't keep me in my seat for 30 minutes.As gamer to the extreme you expect a series of a game to progress along with a few changes in story, graphics,voice overs, background music,etc.,but holy cow, this is positvely cheesy.Sorry to say, but I wouldn't recommend this to a rookie player.The SG, now that was a real treat---would someone please explain it to me. No not never, will I purchase this one. . This was a real Bomb.
I don't recommend this game.

This game left me wanting more.\it started off really well but for me it went down hill after the first hour. I always give a game the chance to prove itself, but Sable Maze just didn't make it.[for me]The cut scenes were well put together.H.O. scenes had just the right amount of difficulty, were crisp and clear , not a church jumble.Background voices/music were very nice.I played the whole game hoping it would pick up the pace but.......I'm glad I used a coupon and not a credit, it isn't worth the money. Sorry -but can't win them all.Beginners will love this one
I recommend this game!

This game on the whole is very entertaining.It is not an easy game but difficult enough, that a beginner will have a chance at getting through without using the hint button all the time .Have to admit I used it twice.The hint button is also a guide so be careful how you use it.The color, sound and graphics in my opinion were well done although the voice overs could use some help.No one seems to get it perfect.[sigh]It is a fairly lengthy game, and the story line is positively wonderful if not, a little on the spooky side--no it is on the spooky side. Kept me guessing that is for sure.Over all I found the game refreshing from the same old-same old games that we usually get.Good for a Sunday afternoon while doing the laundry, and the hubby is watching sports.The extra section takes about an hour so I am glad it was included as a standard version , instead of a CE.All in all enjoyed,it greatly as I am sure you will if you just give it a try. Thanks BigFish once again a hit!!!

This game grabbed me right from the tune "Ring around the Rosie", then there was a complete surprise with the phone scene .Well done!!!I played both the trials and then bought the S. V.,I waited over a month for it's release[heavy sigh]. Anticipation just about drove me nuts.O K on to the game.There are two modes of play,hint recovers quickly, there is the option to skip mini games.The graphics are excellent,color brilliant,and the sound FX suit each scene,story line is the same old song-with a twist.The HO scenes well done very precise,,mini games were almost easy. I make a point of never using the hint button and that is just a personal thing, there are a few scary parts but this just adds to the story line.This game was very easy to follow -very little grey matter used,almost no back tracking. It is well worth the $$$.This game reminded me of a spooky movie.I should mention that as you go along you start collecting two inventory items at a time.Different from the norm of one-at-a-time.Only turned the volume down once in the pumpkin patch scene[the crows drove me coo-coo] In the same token this scene has to be one of the best I have ever seen for a HO.Truly a pleasure to play, over and over again.Bravo Zulu!!! Bigfish . Give this one a try!!You will be surprised.Highly reccommend.

This is based on the trial .I found the game to be eye catching, the background music suits the situation,h/o scenes are not difficult but may get better further on in the game,and the mini games again were not difficult so far.I don't like the ones where you find yourself pulling your hair out over --takes the fun away from the game.Over all I would recommend this one if you are looking to kill an evening when there is nothing on T.V.
I recommend this game!

My Grandmother always said that a change was as good as a rest.And that is what this game is offering, along with a chance to accumilate imaginary money.You don't have think,search,or wrack your brain over what to do next! Just sit and click the hours away while enjoying colorfull screnes.The chalenge is to beat the serpent along with reaching your personal goal[of X amount of credits],mine is one million, without the serpent biting me.So if you are looking for a quiet evening of gaming without straining the grey matter----give it a try, you just might be surprised!!!
I recommend this game!
