This game is Awesome! I could go on and on saying basically the same thing all the other 5 star reviews say, but to sum it all up … YOU WANT/NEED THIS GAME! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Mad Head for giving the world a groovy new twist to the standard HO game
I LOVE the Edgar Allan Poe's games collection! I am sorry to I was not very pleased with “The Gold Bug Collector's Edition”. I completed the collector’s edition in about 2.5 hours, with taking breaks in between. Maybe I’m expecting too much but a CE should last longer than that. The story line is good and the graphics are beautiful! I would have enjoyed a bit more dialog in the game and the ending is so … short, confusing, unidentifiable, etc. I do recommend the game, just not at the CE price.
What a beautiful and enchanting game. I would have liked the Beast to have been more involved in the story, but … The voice over (especially for Bella) left A LOT to be desired. The back stabbing scandals gave a fun and unique twist to a favorite fairy tale.
The perfect ending to a perfect game.I love a game with a good story. It’s a very tragic story with a happy ending. The graphics are amazing and the voiceovers are not too bad either. You can’t help but if you like the hero by the end of the game. The Collector Edition is a must have, in order to complete the adventure. The hidden object and mini games are fun, but not very challenging. I do recommend this game.

The graphics are good and I enjoyed the story. Lots of repeat HOS with different objects to find bit this gets confusing. The tool you need to complete an item often appears when it is not yet needed or has already been used. I became irritated with the travel from one, only to have to travel to another and another and ANOTHER only to return to where you started with the items needed to complete a task. The voice overs were done very well and the length of the game is decent.
This seemed to just be a bad rip off of the game “Dreamland”. Only in this game the graphics are not as good, the story is a “wana-be”, and over all I was just disappointed by the lack of imagination. But, don’t take my word for it I suggest giving “Dreamland” a try and make your own conclusions. I do not recommend this game (this is the first time I have ever stated such)
I absolutely fell in love with the first “House of a 1000 Door’s” and had such high exportations of a sequel. I am very pleased to say I was NOT disappointed. All thou this one “The Palm of Zoroaster Collector's Edition” seamed to shorter than the last I enjoyed the beautiful scenery and variety of puzzle and game play.
I enjoyed the overall game play but it seemed way too easy. The HOS were not challenging. The game was very short with an un-described ending. The voice overs were done very well and the scenery is beautiful. I would recommend this game.
Very enjoyable! There were not a whole lot of HO scenes but I really enjoyed all the different types of puzzles. This was a mix of adventure, HO, match three, and brain teasers. I do have to admit, the ending could have been much better, just a “ta da” did not seem to fit the whole over all pattern of the game. I would recommend this game to everyone.
