IT HAS ALL THE IDEAS FOR A FUN GAME, BUT I'M DISAPPOINTED. Too few little helps to know when you're done in a room, So much time is wasted wAndering and wOndering around, the story line is lost.
Trying to figure out how to close some of the windows is difficult.
.And that little fairy is worse than am at "Now what"
Yes, Im frustrated but I'm still playing, and I do recommend it.
I like the idea and love the art work.

I played this on the EASY and QUICK level. Hints re-charge at your chosen speed, clear to follow. Hidden objects were hidden but could be identified when found. Some surprise characters popped up. The storyline made sense and was easily followed .. remember now, I did the quick and easy, Took several hours to play through and I did a bonus game. I DID NOT collect enough objects like outlined puzzle pieces .. but you can do a great HELPED search at the end. LOVED IT>
I recommend this game!

Im buying right now, I loved the ne t reviews.. sounds like people who like to have fun when they play.. not just solve deep dark mysteries. The demo is cute .. I can use some of that now and then.
I'm looking forward to this .. Im a 'gamer' while on the phone every day. I'm in need of everything the reviewers said. Thanks

Nearly tossed it when I saw it was kind of KIDish ... It's beautiful and fun and charming and peaceful and a perfect way to keep hands busy while phone chatting! The upgrades were fun to watch, each of the M3s were a little different, with different ways to make your 3's.
This would be great entertainment for those who don't want noise or violence - the music is delightful, the art is adorable.
AND having completed the game there are ways to stay on board and win more trophies. I'd buy more of this kind of game.

..hard to give a review without revealing the game - the many repeat trips to the same places to get one item at a time was downright simpleton .... art work is nice, story line is simple. The puzzles were not explained until you queried, and then some of them were just weird.
If you are talking on the phone and need to keep your hands busy - this game will probably do for you.

Spoiler Alert .. this is my first low scored game - and it's based on playing lots of games here. This game is okay - but lacks enough clues to keep the player moving forward .. once a puzzle has been completed and items found - there just weren't clear hints or visuals to keep moving. I had to rely on the strategy guide - completely. Frustrating not to figure out 'what next' based on items won or scenery. An example - there is a gear to be found in the water - however there is nothing to clue you to look even though the magnifying glass opens a small game - I felt like SO? I may not finish the game. I had stopped playing it right after purchase awhile back, but decided to go have another look. Still disappointed.
I don't recommend this game.

.. art work is lovely, characters are 'in character', the in-games and puzzles were new - and offered fresh challenges. Hints could be a bit better, I did resort to the helpful walk thru for a scene or 2. The game lasted what seemed a long time ... and I didn't tire of it as the move thru the story was well planned and smoothly transitioned - it made sense. Music was easy to listen to and the voices were well done. Not sure why I didn't buy the CE, but I don't feel I missed anything..Possible Spoiler alert: Nothing too frightening for kids that play games, no blood and guts dumped all over. I'm a great gramma so I watch for that kind of stuff. Great fun ... I'd buy it again :)
I recommend this game!

..without a doubt this is the most tiresome game I have purchased ... I seldom have a bad word to say - so this is difficult for me. Our character is rambling all over the place without clues, the strategy guide ( I paid for) isn't even a helpful walk thru, the purpose for being in this place is forgotten trying to figure out what I'm doing! WAY too many to and fros,repetitiously, the magnifying glass covers too large an area, over and over, finding things you don't need .. I do not recommend this game - I'm not even finishing it and THAT is WAY not my style.
I don't recommend this game.

I was having difficulty -discovered it was my visual problems and the game was fine - be advised, some of the sought items are rather small but they are there, a few of the contact points are small - but they are there and are necessary to finish the game ... don't give up ... it's a lot of fun. This is not one of those Done in an Hour games... so grab a cold drink and enjoy.... BTW.... my grandson is 9, nothing that would frighten him.
I recommend this game!

Heroes 2 and 3 are FUN.. so I purchased Heroes 1... redundant every level, no chance to plan moves, lightenings are so random they are powerless and useless, takes too long to get enough of a color of stones to get the helpers, same-o same-o every level - played each level over and over and over using diferent schemes each time .. still takes forever. Unlike the other two, there is no player skill involved; just patience and pure luck.. Graphics? I forgot there were graphics.
Recommend starting with Heroes Of Hellas 2 and 3 .. THEY have it all!
