If you expect a game where you can skip some tedious shooting game - this one is not for you.
You can't.
You can't.
If you expect your hints to be non-irritating, this game is not for you - when in that shop in town, I searched for the 8th bag of powder. It showed me drawer number 5 or drawer number 8 - and the bag was completely elsewhere.
But the first is the biggest drawback for me. I do not want a shooting game in a Hidden-Object game. And if shooting an enemy several times is the key to pass on, and there is no way around it, I get frustrated after several tries. If I wanted to shoot enemies, I would play something else. And no, the walk-through did not help.
I don't recommend this game.

I liked the storyline, though I miss the little spidery evil puppet and have to say it was not very complex. That is why I only give 4.
With not very complex I am NOT talking about the puzzles, I always play in casual mode, so I will not remark on those.
The story was very straightforward, that is what I mean with not complex. There were no real obstacles in it, no dertours (or at least not serious ones).
Given that I could not go on with the bonus chapter (tried three times) I am only recommending the normal edition.

What I hate most in a game is when I have no chance of getting on just because I cannot solve a puzzle. Here you need to rearrange the shards of a crystal, quite early in the game. And while I managed to get three out of five pieces to their place (after several trials, never knew why the parts pop back) the last two things just won't let themselves be placed - and no, I am not mistaking the pieces - they are rather distinct!
Without that [insert swear word of choice here] crystal the story won't go on. There was no way of skipping that part after I had tried the umpteenth time.
I hate it when that happens. Only had it once before in one of the Ravenhearst-games ...
I am pretty easy to please when it comes to games, but to be robbed of the chance to finish it without seeing the tiniest mistake in my doings is so frustrating that this time I am really miffed.

I like it, when I buy a collector's edition and it really is a bonus, a small game in itself, a nice addition.
This was all three.
After collecting all the 10 gems to break the witch's curse this time, with a lot of mini-games included, you are trying to gain control over the magic book.
As usual, some games were slightly repetitive. But I can't complain about being too easy, played on the easy level and still had to skip some of them ;)
The included Strategy Guide was helpful. Used it sometimes, when I was too lazy to try out all my options. I like games in which I move around a lot - this was one of them. And I liked the HOS - not too obscure. Some parts interactive.
Will buy another Echoes of the Past game, when they bring it out.

This collector's edition was absolutely worth it - I had nearly more fun doing the bonus adventure than I had throughout the game before.
The game: you are kept from an untimely death, but to leave a cursed island you need to help three souls to fulfil their goals to find peace.
The bonus: on your tour back you have got to search a wrecked ship for four cursed stones.
Easy? Well, I played the easy version. So yes, but I still had fun. I love games where I run around a lot - this was one of them.
Somebody commented about blood and gore - well, the starting sequence had it - thankfully not too graphically- but that was it. You don't walk around kneedeep in guts and corpses! A few skeletons on the way, but hey, the game is named redemption CEMETERY - I expect things like bones in games with cemetery in their name.
I liked the included Strategy Guide and I used it - call me lazy. It was helpful and solved all my problems.

Ich habe die englische Version gespielt, aber die Unterschiede dürften minimal sein. Ein würdiger Nachfolger der Reihe, die mit jedem Spiel noch ein bißchen besser wurde.
Mir gefielen die Wimmelbilder genauso wie die Minispiele, die Insel zu erkunden war ein Spaß.
Ich habe einige angenehme Stunden damit verbracht, aber nicht auf die Uhr gesehen ...

Wimmelbilder waren eher leicht, Puzzles waren auch nicht zu schwer (bis auf zwei Verschieberätsel, die ich normalerweise gelöst bekomme - aber diese zwei nicht) - Story hinter dem war überraschend.
War auch nicht zu kurz.
Nur - unter einer Kirche eine baufällige Gruft, die sich zu einem Wasserfall hin öffnet - erschien mir von der Statik nicht glaubwürdig - und dass ein Vogel unter DER Glocke ein Nest baut, die die Mönche 8 mal am Tag zum Gebet ruft, erscheint mir ebenfalls zweifelhaft. Wenn mir sowas während des Spiels auffällt, reißt es mich aus der Geschichte - und daher nur 4, nicht 5 Sterne. Aber deutlich besser als der Vorgänger!

I liked it more than part one. The scenes to explore were tied together more logically by the story. (That is the 5 marks for Storyline)
The hidden object scenes were fine with me. Did not use the help button too often.
The riddles - I'm sure with more patience I could have done them all, but patience is not my strongest feature ... Still I think some things were a little bit too easy, that is the 3 marks for Challenge.
I had a lot of fun playing, hence 5 marks there and I loved the pictures - 5 marks there.
Music - well - I hardly ever play a game with music on throughout the whole time ...

Ich liebe Wimmelbildspieler, die auch was von Abenteuerspiel haben, wo man also viel laufen kann. Das ist hier gegeben.
Dieses Spiel hab ich bestimmt schon 10mal gespielt.
Man sucht in den Wimmelbildern stets Teile von etwas, das man als Ganzes benötigt, nur gelegentlich muss man auch mal ein ganzes Objekt aufheben und mitnehmen.
Habe ich schon die Bilder erwähnt? Optisch ein großes Vergnügen!
Rätsel gibt es auch, nicht sehr schwer. Und nicht soo viele.
Ich habe die Sammleredition gespielt - und ich finde, sie war ihren Preis wert, wieder sehr schöne Bilder, sehr schöne Geschichte, keine unlösbaren Rätsel.
Mein Lieblingsspiel.

Ich musste mich erst an die Handhabung etwas gewöhnen. Die Bildqualität war unscharf. Aber wenn man sich an diese zwei Punkte gewöhnt hatte, war es nett, dass es mal ein wenig anders war.
Die Reihenfolge der Orte war mir zu sehr vorgegeben, die Hintergrundgeschichte fand ich mau, und das Ende hat mich völlig enttäuscht. Daher auch mein Urteil, dass ich es nicht empfehle, das Ende war keine "Belohnung".
