I enjoyed the demo very much, and plan to buy the game when the SE is available, since I don't buy CE versions due to cost. I really enjoyed the scenes, they were bright and pleasant, the story was good, and the music was nice. The music can make or break a game for me. I liked this one. The story if interesting, and not too dark. I love the mini-puzzles!
I recommend this game!

I see I'm not the only fishie that liked this one! Wow! It was quite long, and plenty challenging for an experienced HO/Adventure fan. I LOVED the mini-games and puzzles! There were lots of them, ranging from fairly simple to mind-blowing hard. Like others, I did have to skip a few. I enjoy the mini-puzzles more than the HO scenes, and this one had a very nice mix. The story was good, the map was so helpful, and I had a hard time stopping for meals, sleep, etc. It took me 3 sessions to finish the game. I love it when I feel like I get my money's worth, and the game is not just long, but exciting! I played the SE, not the CE. I can't imagine it being any better! I'll be paying more attention to "Elephant Games". This one was top notch in my book.
I recommend this game!

This is the first time I've ever rated a game with 1 star. I think this game is the least fun I've ever had. It's constant HO scenes, and they are bad. The scenes are messy and very undefined. Even if you use a hint to find something, often you still can't recognize the item. Many times the hint button is off center and you're unable to find the item at all. I quit the game after 24 minutes, most of them frustrating. Everything about the game is slow. I'll not be buying this one. I think Big Fish should remove this game. I think it's quality is too poor.
I don't recommend this game.

If you like constant HO scenes, you'll like this one. I want more from the games now after having played so many. The scoring of the game seems useless. Not sure why a player cares how many points you receive in each scene.
I don't recommend this game.

I don't normally submit reviews, but this one is worth the effort! I think it rates right up there with MCF games. It was a very long play, tons of different locations, and the mini-games were excellent...very challenging! I think the level of difficulty was just right. There is a map to help you around the huge estate with 3 levels, although I still got confused as to how to get from place to place. It's big! I loved the mini-games. It was fun, and offered many hours of play to complete. The story line and voice overs were well done. Great game!
I recommend this game!

Even thought the mini-games were very childlike, I did enjoy playing the game. I look forward to the mini-games as a break from the HO scenes, but this one didn't offer much in the way of a challenge. As an example...mini-games often offer the type where you rotate circles to create a picture. Usually, when you turn one circle it turns a different circle at the same time, making it a little more difficult to solve. In this game, you only need to turn each circle to create the picture...very easy and simplistic, more suitable for a child. the scenery and voice overs are done well. Just a very simple game...mindless entertainment, and sometimes desirable. It was just a little too easy for me.
I recommend this game!
