I have all the Ravenhearst games save this one. I have to say the second one is still the gem of the lot.
Just from the demo I played: I was not impressed. I wanted to be, really, I did. It just seems lackluster to me. I may or may not buy it. If I do, it will be solely to have the Ravenhearst collection.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on the 60 minute trial:
This is not the kiddie Jack & the Beanstalk. Beautiful artwork, a good storyline, and I like the fact that it is not a simple game. You have to think, be observant, and try different options. I actually was surprised by when my game cut off, so I will be getting this game.
I like the DP series. I have quite a few of them. I would like to get more when time allows.
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed the game. The pace was a little slow, the puzzle pieces (not the HOG, but things needed to complete something in the room) were a bit simplistic to find, as were the leaves.
The artwork was beautiful, though. I have seen the warnings of demons from others' postings. What I saw in my trial run was not as bad as some games, just a baddie wreaking havoc. There are a few other games that come to mind that are much darker than this.
I think if this game was a bit faster paced, it would be in my 'stellar' category. However, as I mentioned at the beginning, I did enjoy myself (and the cats are an added bonus).
I have six credits to use, and if I do not see anything else that grabs my attention more in the next couple of hours, I will probably buy this.
I recommend this game!

The only real redeeming part of this game were the cats. I really did not get a grip on how to score, although I do admit, vegas style scoring slots are not my main choice of BFGs.
The explanation and pay out guides were complicated at best. I did not get the diamonds at all. I wish that the game was more straight forward.
I will not be getting this game, nor will I recommend it.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on the one hour demo only: Brr. You are sent to see what happened to a reporter who has gone missing in a spooky and very wintry town called Raincliff.
You can play in frost mode or not (I chose not to). This has a great storyline, invisible people that do not want you there, but you get a little dog who will help you, so do not forget about Elf.
One thing about this, you get more than three levels of play, I think you get about five, ranging from casual to very, very expert. So, you can really challenge yourself (or frustrate yourself, because on the hardest level, there are no helps whatsoever!)
This game does not take as long to really get going, it is easy to figure out what you need to do. As with many HO games, you will need to go back a few screens to get what you need in the screen you are currently in. There is a map you can use that will take you where you need to go directly, and that cuts down 'travel time'.
When the game cut off I was at the 'Oh, darn, an hour has gone by already?' So, I will be getting this game. If it carries on as it did in the demo, it will be a great one to add to your collection.
I recommend this game!

Just awful. Absolutely NO help given in this game. I do not want to have my hand held as I walk through the game, but there are no hints whatsoever.
There is no communication as to what my objective is: Who or what am I looking for, or do I need to speak with someone?
Tiny arrows to one side of the screen or the other tell you which room you can go in, but you have to look carefully to see them, as sometimes, they blend into the background.
I played roughly 15 minutes and just gave up in disgust. It wasn't even mildly entertaining.
I would not get this game even if it was free.

I did something I rarely do anymore with 60 minute trials, I bought it straight away so I could keep playing.
It can be a bit gruesome, but not gory. I really enjoyed playing, going at a steady pace, not too bogged down in details, but not skimping just to get through the storyline.
Be observant, use logic, and it is a great way to spend an afternoon. I think this would be a good addition if you like dark, Gothic and just a bit on the 'gives you chills' side of games.
I recommend this game!

This game is based on the 60 min trial.
Although this game is supposedly a sequel, I did not get that feeling. I reviewed the first game, saying it was one of the best at BFG. I wish I could say the same for this game.
I think that it is a bit disjointed and unrealistic. To me, the storyline just did not make sense, even for sake of a sequel.
The objectives were clear, but some of the objects we needed to find to achieve the objective were not. It isn't just thinking 'outside the box', advice I often give in my reviews, but a couple of the objects needed to complete a task just had me sitting back and going 'huh?' when a more obvious and logical object although in my inventory, would not work.

I think that maybe a little tweaking, very little, really, would make me up the stars on this. Although abstract is what keeps many games from being boring, being abstract to the point of silliness makes what could be a 4 or 5 star game only a three star game.
If I get this game, it will be because I have 3 game credits and do not want to purchase any other CE's with those credits.

It isn't a bad game. I played the 60 minute trial, but in that time, I did enjoy myself. The only thing I really did not care for, and it is in many HO games, is that you have to go from one scene back to another to get an object for the scene you are in presently. Alot of running back and forth for small but very needed objects.
The princess seems to be a blend of more than one fairy tale, Cinderella, Belle, and maybe someone else.
The graphics are good, so far not the dark gothic ones that I normally get into, but well done.
Be creative. You might be able to use something that in another game would not work. Look around, click everything, and pay attention to the cursor.
Other than that, I would give it a good overall rating. I really tend to go for the darker side of things, but with what I saw and played in that 60 minutes, I do not think I would mind letting my soon to be 10 year old daughter play this game.
I recommend this game!

I played the one hour demo. The graphics are good, not the dark gothic and graphic I usually go for. However, this game is not that genre, I would put it more towards the graphics in the Dream Day and Love Story series.
Some of the clues are a bit abstract, but use your head and think a bit out of the box, and you'll catch on quickly.
Just make sure you move your mouse over all areas of a scene, sometimes it is important that you do.
Overall, from the one hour demo, I'd give it a seven and a half out of ten. Towards the end of the hour, I was beginning to wonder when the demo time was up, but I did enjoy the scenery and game overall.
I recommend this game!
