A first for me; a horrible review. This game just got on my nerves. I played in beginner mode just to relax and enjoy the trial play. I only lasted 5 minutes and it crashed (literally) and I needed to restart. I won't report the tech. issues here but this game is full of them. The character voices grated on my ears. The game begins with the need for a flashlight in a HOS that doesn't light up the scene enough to see anything. The words are not the American words used for an object. The game flow is random back and forth. I just don't think this game is anywhere near ready for release. Hope y'll fishies have better luck than me.

I will probably buy this one. Only 4 stars because I don't know the length as I just played the 60 min trial. The graphics are excellent, the interactive map will get you there, the storyline holds interest, the puzzles are a bit of a challenge, and HOs are straightforward and not hard to see. The only hiccup was the map didn't always indicate the next move and I needed a hint. I'm a little rusty player but will use this to get back in the game. I especially like getting rewarded for being fast and accurate. If you're looking for a game to enjoy that is not a mind numbing challenge, this is it.
I don't usually review a much reviewed game but felt compelled. Loved the first half then monotonous clicking back and forth to pick up an item that you have no idea where to use it. Yes, the map is interactive but, if you don't know where to go, not of much use. Sorry developers, but, I think, you just extended game time with the need to go all the way to the beginning to find a shovel and then all the way through to find where to use it.

All you need is here. Clear HOG, good hint system, medium challenge level, clear graphics, music, VO (voice over), and somewhat new twist on creepy (soul theft). There is a little difference from the usual. Many items have an icon change indicating pick-up but you can't do it until you perform a fix. EX: A saw cannot be put into inventory until you find the handle, put it in your inventory, and, then, bring the handle to the saw. Not much new here but well done.

The idea is fine and could be fun BUT this stuff is too hard to find; muted colors, loaded scenes, object not fully visible, and must find items in specific order to get bonus. I only lasted through 2 pictures and it may get better. My frustration level was too high to continue. Sorry developer but this type of game should be fun. I prefer challenges of the brain not eyesight.
Some would say not enough challenge. Others would say good pace for a lazy afternoon. The storyline is intriqueing. The graphics are clean and crisp. The hint system is decent and fills quickly. The map feature is interactive with the game. Be sure and finish the hour before you decide. These developers have a good reputation for an enticing game.
I recommend this game!

Hidden Mysteries®: Gates of Graceland®
Explore the home of the King of Rock and Roll while searching for clues about a lost song!
Everyone has heard of Elvis. All ages will enjoy. Extra fun is if you actually visitied Graceland. The game moves fast and isn't as easy as you might think. No dark scenes, no poorly drawn objects, clear graphics to keep you moving. This is a game and storyline you can relate to. I only played 30 minutes so don't know if there are mini-games. It's not loaded down with HOs, some things you just search and find. At least try the trial and judge for yourself, it's well worth that.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm undecided about this Match 3. It's straight forward and not a big challenge. No timer which I like. One easy mini-game during the trial. The only offense was the colors were bright and clashing which distracted from play. If you enjoy plain old Match 3, which I do, this may be the game for you. Just a relaxing game without much challenge. Don't know how the game progresses, the challenge may increase. I would buy at a better price.
Even though there are plenty of reviews, I'm compelled to share my opinion because I really like this game. None of the anoyances are here. The game lets you know when you're done with a scene. There are very few areas of back and forth searches. There is an even number of mini games and HOGs. The various characters are fun to work with. This is a first game in a long time I can't wait to rejoin and the time flies by. I'm even trying to stretch out game time so it doesn't end.
I like it! Previous reviews don't applaud anything about the game but I like the little blue flowers that give you money and the choice of match 3 or find the object. Nice change of pace. The story moves forward, the graphics are clear, the hints are helpful and the leads are conclusive. I didn't score it the best only because of the constant back and forth clicking that is the latest in all HOG games (UGH). This causes an overreliance on the hint and I like to figure everything out without any help. I'm buying.
