Enjoyed this game and bought as soon as done with the demo.
The storyline is typical, but the mini games and progress in the game had some challenges.
Graphics are good and the scenes have a live actor.
Won't go into details as others that write reviews are much better at this.
The game is fun and kept our interest through the whole demo, so it was a definite buy.

Thought this was a fun game and will use a free game coupon to purchase.
The demo didn't last a full hour, so the game may be short.
The graphics, sound and voice overs were good.
In the time played, there were no horrible monsters or terrible dark scenes.
The hidden object games weren't interactive. Used the hint twice, as a couple items were hard to find.
Mini games were fairly easy. Skipped one because I don't know how to play chess.
All in all, the game was a bit of a relaxing play.

The game was enjoyable. The hidden object scenes and games were fairly easy.
However, the graphics of the wolf, especially in one scene that it actually spoke, was so very scary that I had to quit playing the game.
We own the other Shadow Wolf games, but I don't remember the graphics in those being so frightening.
I may try the game again, but it's hard to play a game with your eyes closed! LOL
If you don't mind big fangs, claws and growls, then this game may be for you.

This was a fun interactive game. Made you think!
The sound & graphics were excellent.
You could get extra hints by finding light bulbs throughout the game.
Mini games were fun and also included in some of the hidden object scenes.
Although a lot of fun, it seemed a bit short in game play time.

Playing this game is a hoot ........ so much fun!
The graphics are beautiful and the sound is great!
You are rescuing little fishies and returning them home.
Swim to the smaller fishies to have them follow you. A left click when you have a few followers will spin you into a circle so you can ram into the bad guys <when they are green> and release the little ones they have captive or you can just circle around the bad guys and your followers will shoot them. That is too much fun when you have a bunch of followers.
A right click gives a boost of speed to get away from some of the bad sea dwellers.
Along the way, pick up coins. Those will be used to upgrade the helper sea creatures you find along the way.
There are a bunch of bad sea dwellers to be wary of. Don't go towards the big circle of light <you will find out what I mean> when you play the game and you will laugh.
It's a fun game, but will also make you think quite a bit on how you will proceed to rescue the little ones and escape the bad ones!
This is one of those games that you will play again & again.

Although we don't play many brain-teaser games, we did try this one and found it to be very enjoyable game play.
The game has both puzzles and hidden object scenes.
There are also power ups & trophies to collect.
I think the trophies and/or achievements were defined with a different language than English. That didn't really matter since it was still fun to get the achievement.
The graphics were great and the instructions very helpful.
This is added to our buy list and will be checking on the "world mosaics" game mentioned in other reviews.

Rarely do we not finish a demo version, but had to quit about 1/2 hour in to this game.
Although the graphics & art work were fantastic, the game play left a lot to be desired.
The objects in the scenes were very hard to find because they were so small and there was a long long list of objects.
Many times when clicking on the object found, Caroline would pop up and have something to say about it. When you're playing a timed game, what is the purpose of taking time to read all these & need to click to continue?
There are hidden scrolls to collect, although I don't know what the purpose is.
The 1st mini game was very easy and playing that unlocked the ability to replay games. We tried that and found the solution was the same every time, so didn't see the point in replaying them.
The hidden object scenes are also scrolling, so you need to move back & forth to find all the items. Along with all the popping up, this is motion sickness x 10
Although this will not be a purchase for us, we cannot make that decision for you, so at least try it out to see for yourself.

Very relaxing with game play choices of casual, normal or advanced.
We have played or own most of the solitaire games that Big Fish has to offer and this one fits right in on the enjoyable to play list.
There are achievements & bonuses to aquire. You can buy power ups with cash earned in game play.
You can choose the card design, the game has good graphics and the sound is soothing.
The voice over was a bit grating, but that was at the beginning of the game and I don't remember hearing it during game play.
This game has been added to our buy list and recommended if you want a relaxing with no frustrations game to play.

After reading some reviews, we thought this game would not be a winner, but found it was a fantastic game, complete with a mystery to solve, match 3 games, hidden object scenes, plus items to collect to continue with the adventure!
You can play timed or untimed.
There are volume controls and choice for wide screen.
You can get the rules and what all the bonus items are used for by clicking on the question mark in the top left of the screen. On the next screen there are tabs that say adventure or match 3.
There you wil find the explanations for most items.
The "hot chocolate" pot in the bottom right corner when on the match 3 screen is used to get 10 times the points when playing. When a cocoa bean shows up when making a 5 or more match, click on the bean and the pot will begin to fill. When the pot is full, you can click on it activate the extra points bonus.
The hidden object scenes are interactive and the mini games are quite fun.
When playing the match 3 segments, you can "win" albums and go to the record room to play this wonderful music!
You win money to use at the store to buy more power ups for playing the match 3 sections. You can buy the ones that are most helpful.
There was a bit of a time delay in scene changes, but the game is so much fun that it didn't matter.
Definitely a purchase for us!

We also played the beta test version of this game.
This game is in no way as good as the first of the Shattered Minds series. If you have played that one, you will wonder what happened and if this was developed by someone else.
There are controls for music, sounds & voice.
Screen choices of windowed, regular or widescreen.
Cursor choices of system, small or large.
The music is quite dramatic and there are some good quality voice overs.
There is a journal and a map (not interactive).
The hidden object scenes are minimally interactive and very easy. The puzzles and/or mini games are also very easy.
The graphics are good, although more cartoonish in type and there is not much action.
We had purchased the collector edition of the first of the series and decided that this second will also be a purchase on the hopes that as we get more into the story, things will pick up a bit. If not, it will be a fairly relaxing, easy game to finish.
