I NEVER review a game after only 20 mins. This game rocked it. Not the usual start with a train, or car crash, etc... Graphics are awesome and I enjoyed all the mini games so far... This is a buy for me.. not going to finish demo... just going to buy and pray the rest is as good as the start...
OKAY.... only silly thing was she is given that huge sword and then told... HEY!!! get on that train with it!!! Yeah, OK... try that one in real life! : )
Two things I noticed playing it the second time.... A bit of the dialog is written and not voice overs..... and the ghostly guy in the TV with Timmy.... He spoke and lips didn't move at all! :( Just small things took away from the game a bit.. BUT this is an awesome game series.. Played first twice too... Great graphics and I love her expressive voice when they did use voice over for her... WILL THERE BE ANOTHER??? Hope so
The Graphics were great and the voiceovers good as well. My main gripe was that the bonus game did not continue the PAW imprints to find.... 25 in the main game... some Morphing objects would have been great in main game.. level of challenge for the hops and mini games were perfect for me... I found the bonus chapter (game) WAYYYY too short!!! I bought it before even finishing the demo... and Yes, I did enjoy it..
Not much to say except it was so lame the mini games that I cannot go any further not even to finish demo... Felt like I was playing a game from 10 years ago.. graphics okay but certainly not the best...
I don't recommend this game.

Dracula's Legacy
Travel to a mysterious city and save your love from an ancient curse. Solve perplexing puzzles and explore colorful locations in "Dracula’s Legacy".
I used a freebie but always hesitate if not sure of game because I still have to play it, BUT it was a good game. I thought the graphics were beautifully done.... Story was not the normal and kept my interest... Game flowed nicely.
My only pet peeve on these non CE/SE games is the lack of letting the inventory lock... Why is that so hard? :( But I got used to it... When I did back out a few times out of the scene the inventory would spring up!
Game play went smoothly... meaning you didnt have to run around a lot... you had several open scenes at a time and then moved on
Loved that there was actual Voice OVER... games are so quiet and boring with no speach and movement and ALL reading... I tend to not bother reading when its only writing so this was great.
only two modes of difficulty... I'm getting used to at least three and always use custom when its available.. BUT... as I said for a non CE game this was very good in my opinion.
HOGS were interactive and graphics very nicely done. Good game.. A tad short.. but good... The low ratings must have been people who gave it no chance at all.... I risked getting it and really glad I did..
I recommend this game!

Good graphics at very start that went right down hill after 5mins
BORING... only fun was finding crowns... the outdoor spots were very hard on my eyes the graphics... not sharp at all... I used to buy EVERY CE out about a year ago... now Im lucky to find one lately.... whoever gave this 5 STARS must be in the stars... Bluck! my opinion... just didnt move me and found graphics poor... Had hopes but didnt last long... I tried though..
I don't recommend this game.

Ominous Objects: Family Portrait Collector's Edition
A father returns home to find his children missing - all but one, who refuses to say a word...
Scenes have so much details it' amazing. Stunning and captivating... Cant stop looking at all the beautiful work in each scene
ONLY CON: the Father when you use a wrong inventory item uses 1 of 2 sayings that gets annoying to Me at least!
I like that he arrives and has no idea what the place looks like or how it is set up... I find the story immersing and great.
Coins to find... Like better the games with something in every scene to find... Find it harder when they are here and there... Always afraid of missing some...
I think this is one of the best games Ive played in awhile.
Again.... good Voice overs etc BUT the gameplay is good and the Graphics I look at each scene for awhile enjoying the detail that went into wallpaper details... reflections on a shiney floor, etc... instead of running from scene to scene.
The artwork is stunning and there is a lot to search around in, in each scene.... when I demo a game I still feel rushed... But I played 20 mins then bought due to loving where it was going for me and now playing and taking my sweet time enjoying all the work in each scene and cursoring over every inch... Things you click like balloons that pop etc... some may think its lame I think it adds to the detail of work put into this game.... .
Wonderful to see voiceovers with actual mouths moving and not just sound and a person standing with lips shut...
Imp better than the games with a monkey or whatever that helps you... and he can be funny...
Very well done... its been a long time waiting for a good CE lately for me...
Great job... A+++
I recommend this game!

Off The Record: The Art of Deception Collector's Edition
This seemed a little slow going... some games do start slow to get into the story then get better... Some just never make it anywhere at all and some start great and fizzle
I found this a bit slow and predictable and may I say a tad cheesy... not sure if I can explain that part...
I used to buy EVERY CE game a year ago... they are all getting to much the same or something bad like graphics or storyline
On edge about whether to buy this even if on sale... and I do not buy the SE if they are good enough I buy CE...
Even if I buy it cheap... SOMEONE! Me has to play it... is it going to be good... doesnt seem like it can go far with this storyline... we assume its a total fake and then what.... worth buying to see??? not sure..
