This game got my attention as soon as the "tourist guide" book of the dead showed up. Most of the time I don't care about the story but this one was fun and different.
movement was smooth
jump map
different, fun mini games
extra bonus finds
3 levels of play

Too many hidden object scenes
difficult to move from one area to another
very linear
Someone new to these types of games might enjoy this one.

This game has a new choice in mode selection. You can customize play to suit the way you like to play!
A jump map keeps the game fast moving!
So far the puzzles have not been too complicated.
A nice amount of hidden object scenes which are a bit more difficult than most.
For those who like to earn extra points, there are an assortment of objects to identify.
This looks to be a great game and a must buy for me!

We have been asking for more and the developers seem to have listened by providing extra twists and turns.
It took a litle while to get used to how this game plays but even the learning curve added to the adventure.
The hidden object scenes were doubled with a time travel element. True, the objects were hard to find but even the hint was a bit of a game as well. Enjoyable!
2 modes of play.
THERE IS A JUMP MAP which is totally necessary!
The one down side (take away 1/2 star) is the brevity. One more chapter would have been nice.
Not short enough to turn me away!!!

Inovative was a description from another reviewer. It was on target because this game has come up with a blend of puzzles and changing areas, magic and even a mix of hidden object scenes!
There is a choice of three modes of play
This is a buy for me today!

In this game you travel back forth to different times and dementions. There is a choice of 3 levels of game play. The hint button is just that, a HINT. There is a guide a a jump map which are useful.
The HOS are a bit more demanding that some and there are not too many of them.
I found some of the puzzles to be easy and then others were a bit difficult to understand. The mix of challenge was enjoyable. Good news--the skip button is ready when you need it!
The story kept my interest and the fact that there was new and inovative puzzles and all the features listed above makes this a game I want to buy.

Despite the absence of a map this is a good game.
There are 3 modes of play. I am reviewing based on the easiest mode.
The HOS vary. Sometimes you must find an object by it's shape and then use it to find another. Other times it is the ordinary type but not too easy.
The puzzles have been quite simple which keeps the game moving. I liked the game's fast pace.

Aspects I liked:
Interesting story
map
good assortment of HOS and puzzles
enjoyed the riddles at the end of the interactive HOS
Aspects I found less appealing:
Scenes were far too busy
Sound became so annoying I had to turn the volumn down
could not jump from the map
