The first in the trilogy had me hooked from the opening cut scene! It is a little on the eerie side at first but once you get going it is definately different from most HOA games I have played and I play a lot! I loved the new twists on the classic HOA and the imagination factor was well above par! There are a decent amount of HOS and the puzzles are a good challenge. I think the storyline is originial and has you thinking "outside of the box" most of the time. There is a hint button which can be as frustrating as it is helpful. It left me anxious to get started on the next in the series, Dark Flight!
I recommend this game!

The storyline will hook you right away, a few twists but ultimately the ending is guessable. The graphics are amazing and the cut scenes are even better. VOs are few so mostly light reading, HOS are just the right amount, crisp, clear and challenging. The puzzles are easy to medium difficulty and there is a map but it's not interactive. Hint button is available at all times(and you will need it a few times!) No penalty for using if it doesn't lead you to anything useful nor are there any click pentalties in the HOS.
I recommend this game!

While it has all the normal aspects of an HOA, decent music, good puzzles, diverse HOS' and well done VOs, there are more twists and turns in this story than a soap opera! Just when it looks clear cut who did what, they change up the story, I LOVED IT!!!! For this game it's the story line that made all the difference, if you're looking for something other than the normal, you have found it! And if you think you've reached the end of the game, let the cut scene play through for a real surprise! I hope to see another game for this soon.
I recommend this game!

While I enjoyed the first in the series, I found the sequel to be too much like the first and not much of a change. The graphics are good, HOS are plentiful and the puzzles are familiar to many other games. I did like the added dragon as an extra guide in addition to the fairy but found that they didn't get their special powers quick enough to be useful in critical scenes. Not one of my favorites as sequels go.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a great short HOA for a break during longer play games. Nice graphics(crisp,clear and fairly simple), HOS were just enough and not overlly used, the story line is good, there is NO map or notebook so make sure you have a good memory and/or a piece of paper handy for your own notes. My "BigFishSenses" lead me to see a Revenge sequel in the future and I am sure it will be well worth playing just as much as this one was.
I recommend this game!

This game was great, excellent graphics, VOs, puzzles, HOS and a few unexpected twists! Fairly liner in play, not a whole lot of back and forth. No interactive map but wasn't really needed anyway. Great storyline, ending left me wanting more, maybe a prequel to give the history that led to this story would be great. If you're looking for something dark yet entertaining...this is it.
I recommend this game!

As a big fan of the TV series I just had to give the demo a spin and I am so glad I did! With only 22mins left, I knew I had to buy this game! The visuals are amazing(especially the cut scenes) I love the fact that you get to play as all the different agents and the story line had me hooked from the start. Challenging enough for any level player and I look for more games like this in the future, extemely original!
I recommend this game!

Great Game! 2 modes of play to choose from, awards are given throughout the game for accomplishments, great graphics, wonderful VOs, plenty of HOS and the puzzles are nicely done with a wide range of difficulties. The storyline is true to Sherlock Holmes stories and is a nice refreshing change of pace. Can't wait to play again on expert mode!

While the graphics are very well done I felt it would have done the game more justice to have VOs. The storyline was great and the puzzles were just challenging enough. Plenty of HOS', no map but that was okay, didn't really see the need for one. Hint button is convenient but not necessary most of the time. Held my attention and all in all I hope to see more of the story in the future
I recommend this game!

The sequel in the House of 1000's Doors does not disappoint! High quality graphics, well done VO's, extreme HOS and great puzzles! The Bonus Chapter is just as amazing and is long enough to almost be a game in its self! The story line is unique and gripping, adventuresome not gruesome! Ability to choose level of play and the "poof" map are a big plus! Can't wait to see another installment of this series in the future!
