It was a great combination of puzzles and hidden object scenes. There were a few points where it wasn't exactly clear which direction to go so I admit to consulting the online walkthrough, but that in no way diminished my enjoyment of the game. I really liked it a lot and definitely recommend it!
I recommend this game!

Meh. Too short, too easy.

I wasn't impressed. The graphics were okay and the story line, (while cheesy, was fine, the puzzles were not at all challenging except when they didn't work quite right. There were several times where I knew I was supposed to do something specific, for example, shoot the arrow at the figurine, but I had to try moving the crossbow into the right place about 6-7 times before it would work.
More importantly, I played the "Advanced" version and the game took less than 4 hours to complete. That's way too easy and quick in my opinion. There were (I think) six chapters, but they all went really fast, and I get the feeling that it wouldn't have gone much more quickly even if I'd played the "Hardcore" level.
I've liked the other Dana Knightstone games, but I wish I would have given this one a pass. Not worth it.
I don't recommend this game.

I played this on the iPhone and didn't like it at all. The story line was weak (with an obvious rip-off of Indiana Jones), it was way too short, and was not at all challenging. I finished the whole thing in less than 2 hours, and I kept waiting for it to improve. It never did.
I don't recommend this game.

I thought this was clever, entertaining, and just the right amount of difficulty. I also really enjoyed the integration of the "live" actors. One of my favorite games ever!
I recommend this game!

There were some nice things about the game, such as "Area Clear" signs, but I thought it was way too short.
I don't recommend this game.
