I have played a scattering of the Mystery Trackers series. I have come to enjoy my little helper, Elf. I was pleasantly surprised in shopping for him this time.
I played the demo of the CE version. Even though I would not get to play through, I am just used to going for the CE versions. Now about this game; I want to know what comes next. I found it challenging enough, and I made me not use the hint or strategy guide.
I like my special abilities and learning about my fellow agents, along with their assistants. I think each game is a little different, and I like this story also.
Graphics are good; hidden object scenes are doable. They did not frustrate me.
I would like to get this game and try it on a harder level. With only a short time to get to know a game, I go for the easiest level.
I would recommend the trial and see if you think you want to know how the story ends. I do not give 5 stars as a usual, and did not think twice this time as to what I would rate it.
Yes, I would try it out!!
I recommend this game!

Like others who only gave a star, I too am SO EXTREMELY disappointed in that this is just a section of replay from Syberia 2. REALLY???!!!
Do not think you are progressing to the place that ended in Syberia 2. In this, you still have not met Hans face to face. It looks to end at the point when you do meet him while you are getting Helena.
I do credit this with the same challenge and storyline at a high level. Not really sure I actually have "fun", because I am caught up in figuring out what to do with Kate. I do like that.
The graphics and visual have never been real sharp, kind of grainy, I think. But I think that quality adds to the game.
This was a complete waste of my free game or credit. It was not presented truthfully in game description. Or I just was so looking forward to what happened to Hans when he reached his dream! Anyway, play the demos of Syberia 1 and 2, and go ahead and try this one, but do not buy it if you have the part 2 of the story.
I hope this review gets displayed. I bought this sight unseen, and will never do THAT again. Big, big, mistake!!!
I don't recommend this game.
Golems are taking over Glanville, and only you can stop them!

I really enjoyed the demo and found it really tops in all areas. I did give a lesser star for challenge, and only did because I have played A LOT of games. But I must say I really, really liked the variations of puzzles in the demo. If I do purchase this, they may have a puzzle to stump me!
Really liked the story beginning and graphics are superb. The music is pleasant. I just overall really liked what I have played of it so far.
I see a new game in my near future! I highly recommend to try the demo, at least.
I recommend this game!

I have loved the Puppetshow series since the first game. I do have each game and, of course, added this one as soon as I had finished my demo. I highly recommend any one of the Puppetshow games, including this one. I enjoy the music, graphics, story lines, puzzles, and I find it fun!
I recommend this game!
