I think this game might have been overlooked a bit. It has great graphics, some difficult gameplay and a fun storyline. I am playing it through for the second time and I only do this for really compelling games - so it must be good. it offers a Difficult mode (which does not seem to work in the bonus chapter). The best part features in the second half once you crack the theme park and head into the Void - the planet you go to is magical and fun.
If you are new to Big Fish and you want the best on offer - then this game rates! Big Fish know what we want and know how to make things difficult to solve. You will find yourself roaming the snowy streets trying to figure out just how to turn that electricity off, or whether to climb that ladder again, or scale that rope swing - but all because there is a complexity to solving the case that is fun to work out. The graphics, of course, are awesome and the snow adds that atmosphere I like when wandering about as an expert detective. Also try The 13th Skull or Dire Grove if you like this style of play. Next time Big Fish - please add a Hardcore Play to the game.
Number 3 in the trilogy is just as mesmerising as the others and just as gorgeous to watch. The graphics are what has always attracted me to the DRAWN series, as well as unusual puzzles to work out. This third one is a tad different because it takes you out of the city for the first time and you pretty much stay in the paintings. But what a landscape awaits you. I look forward to number 4 but please keep the difficulty level as high as you can - they are worth every braincell to solve.
Ah, no sparkles, no hints, just you, your mouse and the screen. Lesson to all games - please add a 'hardcore' element to all games! This Game is really fun, although somewhat easy in places, and many of the puzzles are worked out too quickly, but there are several fun hurdles and a few new game designs - at last. The graphics are really wonderful, but above all else I enjoyed not being guided through. It is a long game as well, again another bonus. I loved adding and adding to the inventory even when not sure why - and then unloading as the solutions were revealed. Missing out on clues because there were no hints was half the fun - am I alone in this? The walkthroughs are there if they are needed of course, and I had to find out a few things that way. Enjoy
