This is one of the best storyline games so far this year. At times downright thrilling !! I loved how they mix the HO's up a bit and made them very interesting. Puzzles are okay also. But the storyline you think you are following only to find out truths along the way that leave you thinking Hmmmm wonder if ? Very fun game and have played twice now. I think if you are looking for a really full to do Collectors Edition buy this game !! You will be so involved and enjoy the entire long game and get your money worth. Beautiful story with a great ending.
I recommend this game!

Played this game twice, I enjoy these games alot, the colors are so vibrant !! Love the HO's like this. The story line isnt quite the oh my gosh what is going to happen, but it is fine and you start as a detective of course and you are the only one who can save the day. I own all the dark parables. A family game and kids can come and enjoy the play. Love the music, I really enjoy the music and not once had to turn off sound. Great Dark Parables game and it does lead into and next is ? Very enjoyable game and Keep these coming please. I have spent hours with little ones playing these games. The puzzles are not the hardest but when you want relax play this is the game for you !! LOVELY GAME
I recommend this game!

This is once again a Prince and his soon to be Bride, so much fun and a game you can play with your children and have a family night playing, love these types of games. I love the animals in this game, And again a true fairytale, which is enjoyable to me. Will play this game over and over again. The graphics are so pretty, The evil one is doomed !! Hey that prince is nice looking also !! lol lol, Go ahead and play this game, a true classic !! I played in easy mode then you can challenge yourself at any point, liked the fact you had the option of a more challenging puzzle if so desired. This is a true hit in my book and thank you once again for a very enjoyable afternoon.
I recommend this game!

I love the game, fun, not the same ole story we all knew as children but a different twist. I must say some of the HO's were a bit tough to see and took a little time, not the easy done and onward we go. The scenery was so pretty and the whole story line was great, really a great holiday game and one I will play over and over again. Elephant games have done it again and if you want the holiday spirit for sure play and buy this game. My favorite game last year was the Nutcracker of course, but this year A Christmas Carol I think has it beat !! Go ahead and play you wont be sorry.

This surely is not a difficult game, however voice overs are excellent, the scenes are so pretty, magical interesting, and the game is just fun, what lovely family game, puzzles are not challenging and HO's are not either but cute as can be. If you want a family event this is the game for you. I know when my granddaughter comes it will be one of her favorites as well as mine, Way to Go Big Fish, keep the magical games and family fun coming please.
I recommend this game!

I just finished playing this game and what a fun game, starts out with a mom telling her daughter a story, the mystical magic begins, lots of fun HO's and puzzles which can be easy or hard and very interesting and cute story line, Yes I will play this again and Yes My grandaughter will love this game, Cant think of a better way to spend a rainy day playing a magical game this like one. A new twist to a fairy tale we all know and love !! Enjoy as I did.

I enjoyed this game alot, and had a great afternoon playing it, the voice overs were excellent, the story line kept you going and of course the hunt to help a new found friend and help him we did !! Excellent story of a love so strong that it beat all odds and a child who was loved also. I loved the game and in fact played it over again !! The puzzles were not that hard, and the HO were fairly easy even for old eyes. These games get better every single week, please keep up the great work !!
I recommend this game!

I just finished this game and can say that in the start was not impressed but once you get into the game itself it is really cute and enjoyable, I had to find out the ending so yes the story line holds you, I had fun and isn't that why we play a game, love the fairies and little dragon and magic of the story, I personally will play this game over and enjoy each time.

A long-forgotten artifact has just resurfaced, and the race to claim it will cause a devastating war. The only thing strong enough to stop it is one woman’s promise to the man she loves.

Well I disagree with some of the reviews, I really enjoyed the game and graphics were fine, storyline kept me going and interested, HO'S were fine, had no issues what so ever. In fact I would play over and over just fun and interesting and different storyline than most. Most of the endings in most of the new games is kinda a fluke for me, you get so involved then a blunt end.But I enjoyed playing and would recommend this game for a day of enjoyment.
I recommend this game!
