and not as pretty! If you already have kingdom, this is redundant and not worth getting.

I simply can't give this a bad rating just because I'm not savvy enough on puzzles to play it! I'm a match game queen so I loved the first temple. Could not for the life of me get through Thor. I checked other sites, but their screens didn't match mine.
This is probably a great game. Too bad I can't get past the first level. Maybe we'll see a walkthrough that matches our version sometime.
FYI level one is like the first Montezuma, which I lost because I switched computers and BF doesn't have it. :(

I loved the other Awakenings games so I just bought this CE without playing the demo. This was a mistake. For me, this one is very difficult. I finally gave up. It got to a point where I had to go to the strategy guide to find out where to go next after every scene. I see many people loved it, but it was too frustrating for me to finish. (I have no idea how anyone would be able to play this in SE mode - yikes!)
I don't recommend this game.

After an archeologist releases the element of water, it’s up to you to restore the balance of the elements!

I've got over a hundred HO games and this is by far my favorite. Great story, reasonably challenging - hardly needed the strategy guide. This CE's bonus game is like gettting another game. I loved it.
I recommend this game!

By far my favorite game. Made it through without skipping any puzzles. The music is enchanting and the story is engaging. The graphics are wonderful. Can't say enough good about it. Some may want more challenge . . but this was perfect for me.
The Collector's Edition is worth buying. The extra play was very satisfying.
I recommend this game!
