Only played the demo but seems to be similar to 'Spring of Shadows' which I preferred. It has a map #and you get to different places very quickly#, good graphics, didn't have to squint at the HOS and mini games I found fairly easy. The Shade is still weak from the last time you defeated it so has a helper in the shape of a nasty black crow!! Sorry, didn't notice the music as had it on low!! Collectables, which are fairies again, #love collecting stuff# achievements #not hard to get I should imagine#. A scarecrow that, I presume will help throughout the game. Will buy, but haven't decided whether to go for the CE or wait!!!!
I recommend this game!

Another in the Maestro series which I found very similiar to the first two. Great graphics etc. and love the way you have to find the items (silhouettes) instead of the boring lists. Mini games I find pretty easy to do but enjoyable nevertheless! Collectable musical instruments and apparently there is a surprise for you if you get them all!!!!! Can't wait!!!!! Although it is a buy for me, I have only given it 4 stars as there isn't that extra 'ummph'!!!

Not the best game out there, but definately a buy!! Plenty of achievements to get, butterflies and blimps and the usual ones (3 hidden objects in 2 secs. etc.) A bit grainy but doable, sound and music (good). Personally think that this is just as good as 'Final Cut'. No disrespect to the Devs, but I think that the human characters are hilarious. They have done a great job and I will be purchasing!!

Great adventure game - played the previous 'Surface' games and loved them, this is going to be another hit!! HO's clear and not a jumble, mini-games, up to now, fairly easy, a lot of talking but not a problem to me. Real people/achievements/collectables/good graphics/music blends. Great storyline, about men with wings....what's not to like????? More of these type of games please!! Highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed the demo and will be purchasing! Love games that are a bit different and this one fits the bill. First HOG: you have to place items from your list to where they should go on the picture. Not a hard game but very satisfying to play. Good storyline and, for me, worth the CE. Unfortunately no collectables or achievements. Will let other reviewers go into more detail as they are much better at it than me!!!!! Def. recommend this game!!!!!!

Review is based on the Beta trial version and this demo. Visual is colourful and good graphics, not great but good. Nice additional with the Newfoundland sniffing out clues and seems to be more mini-games than HOS's. Mini-games up to now very easy to do (may get harder as the game progresses). Sychronised voices and characters well done. Like this series so will be purchasing.

I just love the story of Sleepy Hollow so am pleased that this game has been done as a CE. Haven't heard of the makers before but they have done well!!! Good graphics and the HOG's are great (quite easy to find except for the comb) as not a lover of HOGs. Small horseshoes to find in the scenes, and acheivements to win. Voices are very clear and storyline evenly flows. Not hard minigames but enjoyable. I recommend this game and am off to purchase.

ERS have come up with another great game. Graphics well done and a colourful fairy tale with Isa (from Song of the Pheonix) and a witch as the evil ones. Only played half an hour of the demo and your first HOS is when you get into the town. Lovely little mini-games that are different to the norm and are quite easy, up to now. Will be purchasing and recommend this game to all ages!!

My review title says it all. Not going into much detail as previous reviewers have taken great pains to inform others about the game. Have played this CE now twice and is perfect for this time of year. Will be playing this great game every Christmas now (and probably more). I am just wondering if Elephant Games can cap it with another story based on fairy tales together with perfect music. Fantastic work!!!!!!!!!!!

Only played half an hour of this game and am buying. Graphics aren't crisp and clear but are in keeping with the story, music is excellant, in my opinion, and suits this type of game. First HOS was to find items to go with the outline and then use to get another item etc. Second was a standard HOS which was not a jumble of things that you have difficulty in seeing. In the little I did, enjoyed the minigames and have no hesitation in recommending this game.
