I very much agree with pennmom36 on this game and the whole series! They are simply hidden object games with no thrilling or scary bits, but they are a pleasure to play. They are really 5 out of 5 for the type of game they are. If you have played the others in the series, there are no big surprises in this latest one, just more of the same great stuff. These games (and Park Rangers) are great to play between more graphic ones!! I also love that you can repeat scenes you needed help on, so you can get a perfect score! lol
I recommend this game!

I loved the demo of this game, and have already bought it with this weekend's BOGO! The story is good, the graphics are great and I really like that you build items in the HO scenes that are needed in the plot. I didn't find it to be a frightening game to play, about average in that sense, so don't be put off by the title if you are trying to avoid graphic violence in your games. It has all the usual CE features, with kind of a stripped down interface for them that is kind of refreshing.
I recommend this game!

After finishing the demo, I know I'm buying this one! I have all the others in the series, and this one did not disappoint me. I love the story line, the graphics are great, as always, and I like that it goes into story mode once in a while. If you liked the earlier ones, don't hesitate to try this one!!

I loved the demo, and will certainly buy the CE! I LOVE the PuppetShow games and am always amazed by the intricate and super original graphics. Although I see there are some negative comments on this one, if you are a PuppetShow fan, go for it!!

I'm not normally a huge fan of the fairy tale games (Dark Parables excepted) but I really enjoyed the demo of this one. The graphics are amazing, the music and voice overs are great, and the puzzles and HO scenes are fun and interesting. I liked the raccoon helper, as he seemed aware that he was a bit cheesy! lol There are lots of CE extras, including a secret room, and collectible dragons. I'm giving this a 5 star rating, as I was surprised by how much fun I was having playing it!!
I recommend this game!

I LOVE Puppet Show, and this latest game did not disappoint. First of all it looks great...even the icons on the difficulty option page are amazing! This series always has great attention to detail. and here you get to chose how you want your character to look. There was a good challenge level in the puzzles in the demo, and the story is fun. It is super fun that bits and pieces from earlier games in the series make little cameo appearances! lol I can't wait to play the whole game!
I recommend this game!

I have really enjoyed the Amaranthine series, but I think it has run out of gas. This entry has a plot line that was kind of unintentionally funny, and although the graphics were okay, it was just tedious to play. The fun of this series was that it had engrossing stories, but this played more like checking off a to do list.
I don't recommend this game.

I have all the other Myths of the World games, and this is the first one I won't be buying. I'm not sure how you can make the
Greek gods boring, but this game does it. It's slow, the mini games are more like interruptions than part of the flow of the game, and the characters are wooden. It also looks dated. i always look forward to a new game in this series, but this is, unfortunately, a thumbs down for me!

This is a great SE game! It plays with a nice level of challenge on the "expert" setting, and the graphics are amazing...I particularly like the notes that reflect the action as the they are being read! The plot and the voice overs are good and the demo just flew by! Try it!
I recommend this game!

I found myself enjoying the demo, even though it wasn't all that challenging. The HO scenes are good--find an object and then use it to find another-- and the sound and graphics were fine. The CE extras were what you would expect and the story line was good. This is not the most exciting or original game out there, but it's a perfectly solid HO game, and it's a nice break from the dark and dreary ones!
I recommend this game!
