Not as challenging as most of the hidden objects put out today, but was still fun to play.
There are two types of hidden object games - finding an object based on the name (does not always match with the picture) and finding based on a silhouette.
A lot of puzzles are in the game between the hidden object scenes - again most aren't as challenging as the recent puzzles (even the spot the differences weren't too bad).
The story line didn't grab me and was told in a comic book fashion.
The only other down side was the game was on the short side.
Would recommend as a DD, not sure worth the full price.

If you like to be challenged and read a lot this game is for you. It was real easy to miss objects you needed since you need to move your mouse around to see what can be used and some of the objects were really small. I did have to use a walkthrough in some areas. I had a general idea what needed to be done, but couldn't find the object needed (and one part that I gave up trying to click fast enough to do on my own).
But the story was great. The character you play is very sarcastic and it's fun to click on things to hear what he has to say. The movie cut-scenes reminded my of Syberia. I didn't see a trial for this game, but if it's a DD again, definitely worth getting if you like Syberia. I was hoping there would be a sequel (hinted at one at the end), but there doesn't appear to be.
Help Detective Bridget Brightstone crack the case and reveal the great mystery that lies behind high walls of the Bellevue Hotel!

I got this as a DD and enjoyed the story. As others have said, I enjoyed the character's humor.
It took a little while to get started and figure out what had to be done. Until you know how to do certain things and what's expected there is a lot of wandering around. Once I knew the objective and where to go, the game went really fast.
I loved the story and the super natural elements. There were characters you met that were easy to like and some that were easy to not like.
Several puzzles to solve. Not the hardest that I've seen, but a few were a little challenging.
There is a lot of reading in the game to learn the story and you'll need to talk with the other characters to move the story along. it is a scripted game, and everything needs to be done in a certain order.
Because of the length of the game, I would only recommend at DD price.
I recommend this game!
Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story-if you escape.

This game was different than the previous games, and it was nice to see the objects morphing. Was a little disturbing in some parts, as we were warned. The puzzles were a challenge without any instructions on what to do, but you are able to skip them. The strategy guide did come in handy in a few places, but only one place I don't think I ever would have figured out without it (the others I might have eventually). Some of my questions about the characters still haven't been answered, so I'm hoping for another sequel even though I hear this is the last of the Ravenhearst series.
I recommend this game!

Not many people liked this game, but I enjoyed it. The story was interesting enough to keep me playing and to continue to the sequel.
You start off with some introductory scenes to get the first piece of the puzzle. After that you need to complete six rooms to get the next piece. Each room is timed and is just a junk pile of items. The items will be in different spots each time you visit the room (and different sizes and orientation). The good thing is once you learn what the item looks like (some of the terms are the English version and not American) the item will look the same for the rest of the game.
For each room you start up with 2 hints, but you get an additional hint every three minutes. If you run out of time, you get to replay the room with new items. There is no penalty for randomly clicking around.
Out of the six rooms, one room will be in the dark so you use a flashlight and the third room is a spot the difference (not too hard once you get used to what to look for). In between the rooms, you'll find torn up paper that you need to put back together to get the story.
Not the most exciting game and it will take a long time to get through all the rooms to get all the puzzle pieces. In addition to the game, after you complete each room you get an object to add to your collection. When you're done the game there will still be more items to collect if you want them all, but you can keep playing the same character and continue searching the rooms. You can also unlock rooms and play each room separately (you'll be graded on how well you do).
Doesn't take too long to decide if it's worth purchasing. Try the demo and after you complete the first six rooms, you'll know how the rest of the game will be and if it's for you.
I recommend this game!

Good storyline. Fragmented hidden objects and a few puzzles. Most the fragments were easy to find, but always spent time finding the last one or two. There are morphing objects throughout the game that will re-charge your hint button. A lot of wandering back and forth. Worth doing the demo.
I recommend this game!
