This is a great game. There are a minimum number of HO games, which I liked. (Some games have too many repetitive HO mini games which can be tedious.) Instead, there were more mini games and puzzles that were of medium difficulty. There is some trudging back and forth between scenes, but it fits within the game. It is a long game, and well worth the price.
I recommend this game!

This game is a little easier than some of the other HO object games such as 13 Skulls or Shadow Wolf Mysteries, but it is fun to play. I enjoyed the HO games because they were different from your typical ones. The games were relatively easy, but you get a lot of game play for your money.

This game was fun and was a relatively long game for the price (non Collector's edition). The game starts out easy, but the puzzles get progessively harder. Some of the puzzles were different from the unusal, which was also nice. The hint command helps with both the HO and the puzzles, which is helpful. Overall, it was fun to play.
I recommend this game!

This is the second WMC game I have played, and it was the last. I found the mystery part of the game entertaining, but the puzzles and HO were not challenging enough. This might be a nice game for beginners.

I am apparently one of the few people who didn't like this game. I found the puzzles to be very frustrating in that they did not seem logical and I had to check a walkthrough to continue to play. The game is beautiful, but the puzzles annoyed me very early. It is the only PC game I did not finish.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed playing this game. I liked the fact that there were distinct areas of play as opposed to moving objects back and forth across many scenes. I agree with another reviewer who said this would be a good beginner game.
I recommend this game!

I wanted to like this game, but frustration with the HO screens made it impossible to enjoy. As other reviewers have noted, some of the HO were so tiny and indistinct that they were impossible to find. Due to technical glitches, I was unable to complete the game, but I was more than halfway through the game at that point so I feel that I can provide an accurate review. (Big Fish quickly refunded my purchase price BTW.) I would like to see other historical HO and puzzle games, but this is not the one to play.
I don't recommend this game.

This graphics and storyline were fantastic in this game. The puzzles were challenging and were incorporated into the overall story. The ending was a fun surprise. I can't wait for a sequel!

This game was a lot of fun to play. It had a nice, creepy quality to it, and the games were challenging, but not impossible, to win. It is also a long game. My only negative comment would be that it was not always clear where a particular object should be played, and there were times when an object could have been played one place but it had to be used at a different spot. But overall, it was a fantastic game, and I have played it more than once.
I recommend this game!

I loved this game. The graphics were great and the puzzles were challenging but doable. Many of the puzzles were different from ones seen in other games. I thought the collectors edition was worth the extra money because of the extended play and extension of the story. I would recommend this to anyone.
