It had everything I like. Interactive HOS. Not too many HOS. Great graphics. Story was good until the confusing and abrupt ending. Visuals were outstanding and great music.

The amount of HOS took away my enjoyment so much that I hardly remember the plot. Very industrial look and feel which is not my cup of tea. Luckily, the hint system was fast because the HOS became tedious and I just wanted the game to end.

HOS were a little different than usual. That was nice. Puzzles were good and loved the graphics. Story was unusual and I enjoyed very much.

Everything was just average. No puzzles to speak of. Mostly HOS. They were straight forward and OK. Nothing really to say except it was OK.

Long game but puzzles were terrible. Had to skip for various reasons. No clear directions. Some did not seem to work. Some boring. Way too much back and forth. Some things did not make sense on how to use them. HOS were good except the penalty clicking was way too sensitive and made things tedious. Did not like this one

This was a hard one to stop playing. The story was intriguing enough that I had to keep going. The historic inaccuracies aside, it had good HOS and puzzles. Half way through it stop having interactive HOS and that was disappointing. I really love that part. Puzzles were very doable. Graphics were OK. I liked having real people but would have loved some voice acting. A good solid game.

Interesting HOS. Interactive inside the scenes. Clever and different. Story needed fleshing out and the voice acting was not very good. Puzzles were fun. Map and strategy guide included in the SE price. Big thumbs up!!!. Because the story was weak the ending was terrible. Everything else was fun.

What a blast. It was on the short side but what a lot of fun. Standard HOS. Strategy Guide included for a SE. Great adventure part. Hint system was cute and helpful. Some puzzles looked like they were solved. When checked with the strategy guide, they matched but were still not solved. Had to skip and really did not want to. Most puzzles were fun.Great characters just marked down for length.

It was a nice HOS/adventure with some FRAG scenes thrown in. No thrills but I enjoyed it. Good puzzles that were doable. Loved the little dog who helped with hints. It did not wow me but definitely worth a $2.99 price tag.

I was enjoying this game so much. Great interactive HOS. Great puzzles with quick hint refill. Graphics were gorgeous. No Map but things were moving along. Then the end. Let's just say a lot of back tracking. Only reason this game is not a 5.
