I thought, after all the cutsey Christmas stuff was over, we'd finally have something in the "real" world and entertaining. Guess what? More of the same.
Please get into the way things are, not fairytales most of the time.
I don't recommend this game.

This review is based on part of the demo. Not a bad game, and with such a shortage of good CE's and a sale, might buy it. Regarding the character who one reviewer said was disgusting, I found the voice more nauseating than how it looked! It would be nice to see a game in today's time, instead of witches, amulets, etc., which can get a little old after awhile.
BF: Hope, after everyone waits for Thurs. and Sat., this time the CE's will be worth it. I sort of recommend this game, but not sure.

When I first saw this game I thought, not another cutsey Christmas game with fairies and elves. I was pleasantly surprised. I only played part of the demo, but just may buy it. Four levels of play, including custom, which I really like. Game looks very interesting and fun.
I recommend this game!

This is based on approx. 30 minutes of the demo. I found it to be fun. Reviewers mentioned no map, but ND games never have maps, and they are far more difficult (and sometimes tedious) to navigate. I have a free game to use, so I won't lose anything in case I change my mind. Try it and see what you think!
I recommend this game!

This is based on almost finished CE. I really loved this game (can't you tell?) I've played the other Mystery Case File games and liked them also. Several people commented this was not like the others. I say "different can be good." Loved the action/reaction puzzles. Finding puzzle pieces and using them instead of just finding objects that have no use - great! It's a pretty long game and has an alternate ending of which I am now playing. I'd like more of these types of games.
I recommend this game!

Just finished playing this, and really enjoyed it. Made me feel better about myself for playing without a w/t! It's also quite long, and not a lot of HOS.
A fire breaks out during a concert, and now your daughters are both missing. Hurry to track them down – their music may hold the key to life and death!
Was all set to buy this game. Then, came to the music sheet part. I know zero about music, and there is no skip or reset button. In other words, BEFORE you start this, if you are like me, check the SG. Don't know if there are a lot of these sheets, but it turned me off.

After reading other reviews, thought I'd give this a chance. Started out in casual, which had an "in your face - can't skip tutorial," so went to adventure. Same thing. Just can't stand when you can't skip the tutorial. Quit after approx.7 minutes.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm almost finished with this game, but wanted to write a small review. This game is somewhat long, and it's one of the most fun times to play I've had in awhile. Somewhat sinister, but you also get to use your brain. Also, a different game than most featured on BF.
Fantastic!
I recommend this game!

I could barely stand 5 minutes of this "game." Lots of dialog; some dumb howling in the background, and other annoying sounds. If you click a bit too much, you get a stuck screen for a second or so. Only 2 modes of play:easy and hard. A constant tutorial you can't skip. Keep seeing cell phone messages between yourself (rookie real estate agent) and your boss. All in all, "yuck."
