Great story line. People who have been broken hearted are being murdered, and a Sherlockian detective is sent to find the murderer.
Great characters who talk (a little robotic, but not much). The detective's sidekick, Jayden, is very humorous.
Good puzzles.
Map, but not interactive.
HOS interactive and very easy to see, with some unusual twists.
Nice music.
Good graphics.
Inventory items used up quickly.
Very enjoyable game, altho a bit short for a CE. A little over 5 hours casual.

Excellent acting by Lea Thompson. Transport map, great hint system. The psychic reading puzzles were a bit bizarre and hard to figure out. HOS had insets that somewhat hard to see, but otherwise a great game. No bonus chapter. 5 hours casual.
I recommend this game!

Great game with lots of HOS, interactive and silhouettes. VOS. Good puzzles, graphics and sound effects. Long skip button. Good storyline. Nice length-almost 7 hours on casual.

Wonderful game. Lots to do, great VOS. HOS are interactive. Cute little helpers with the cats, the nutcracker and the candle. Beautiful graphics. Lovely music. Not a great length, even with bonus play, 5 hours casual, but very enjoyable. Good games, but some difficult. Very good release for the holiday. Dare I ask: are we going to get "A Christmas Carol" soon? That would be awesome.
I recommend this game!

Echoes never disappoints. Great game play and the ongoing story of defeating the witch in the kingdom of Orion may seem repetitious, but there are always new puzzles and new challenges. And really cool new monsters! HOS standard and put backs. Very clear and orderly, but well hidden. Tons of puzzles, mostly hard (for me), and a long skip button. Inventory is at top which takes a few minutes to get used to. Hint button shows picture of where to go. Fun game, and good length: 5.5 hours casual.
I recommend this game!

Beautiful graphics. No VOS. HOS standard. Lovely music, and the birds singing added to the tranquil atmosphere. Very good puzzles, and I hardly ever say that. I could actually do them! Nice story with a happy ending. Very enjoyable game. 4 hours casual play.

Great storyline: Eva is coerced into going to Prague by being told she inherited a home from a distant relative. Once there, she is faced with numerous challenges and danger as she tries to find out more about this distant relative. Great characters and VOS. Interactive map (yea!). HOS interactive, and some parts are other places. Puzzles a bit hard, and long skip button. Had to do a walkthrough to figure out how to use that magic lamp thingee. A lot of seek and find, which I love. One weird thing, tho: from the original scenes, when you return to the house, the colors became muted, and even the graphics changed. Strange. The ending gives a hint of future games in this series. Good length: 5.25 casual play.
I recommend this game!

Could have been a really great game, except for these:
Small screen on my 15" laptop. Which made the small items in HOS even smaller. The game was kind of all over the place. I kept forgetting what I was doing trying to figure out what to do next. Used the hint button a lot. There was a map, but not interactive. A LOT of puzzles, and mostly hard, couldnt understand what some of them meant. Quick skip, tho. Nice music. HOS interactive. Good story line: you have to rescue your brother from a sister that you didnt know about (seems good ole dad was a typical film producer). Good scenes, too. Really cool museums. Also, good length. 5.5 hours on casual.

Good story: kingdoms trying to reunite, not completely a fantasy game, but pretty close. Still, this oldie did enjoy it. VOS. HOS interactive, some a bit hard to see. Did like the silhouette HOs. Nice puzzles, long skip button. Not a real long game for a CE: 6 hours casual.
I recommend this game!

Good storyline: a detective is searching for a clients daughter, and stumbles into lots of chaos. VOS. HOS not clear. Puzzles not too hard, but long skip button. Hint points in right direction to go. Overall a good game, but not the best graphics. Medium length: 4 hours casual.
