There are two modes of play, casual and hard - i played casual. The hint recharges very quickly and you are able to use it outside of HO games which is helpful.
You have a map which allows you to transport from one place to another - another bonus :)
The game itself is a take on Disney classic beauty and the beast. It was a good game and i did get lost a few times - good job the hint button was there!
All in all a good game, nice length but only reason i didn't give it 5 stars is simply because it was a little too fairytale for me
I recommend this game!

Ill admit i was dubious about purchasing this game as it wasnt a HO game as stated.....but surprisingly i really enjoyed it :)
I wont go into the outlay of the game as im sure you already know, but it definatly hits the spot for halloween.
A little grip is the slow re-charging of the hint button....i read a few reviews regarding this and thought "well it cant be that bad...." wrong! Its a very long wait but all in all thats my only gripe :)
I recommend this game!

So excited when i saw this was released, i have played the 1st and 2nd instalments and was not disappointed with the 3rd.
Graphics are crisp and Dr Blackmores voice is spooky. Especially like the portable chemistry kit you carry with you :) Definate must have :)
I recommend this game!

I only played the trial demo of this game, its basically a HO game all round. There is a storyline - a family go back on the Titanic on its 100 year anniversary as your mother survived the original 1912 sinking of the titanic.
You start having flashbacks going from 2012 to 1912.
The whole game is HO which is good but not for me - i like a little more interaction and running back and forth!
A definate for people who are just starting out on HO games :)
I recommend this game!

i ahve been waiting for this to come out on se version for what seems like an age (because im too much of a scrooge to pay for CE).
The only gripe i will have is i had to use the hint button to much as there are so many laces to go i lost my way a little bit!
Although saying that, i loved the storyline, the graphics were amazing and the hint button recharged quickly.
This is definatley my sort out game - dark, eerie, supernatural etc. A definate must buy.
I recommend this game!

Admitedly i had a few reservations about this game so i tried the trial version first and within 10 mins had decided to buy.
The storyline is great although there is a lot of running back and forth - no map so trying to remember where you needed to go was a bit of a pain.
Some of the HO scenes were fuzzy so used the hint button quite a few times although it does recharge pretty quick on casual mode.
I fnished the game in 2 1/2 hours and it was really good, didnt want it to end!
I recommend this game!

Read all the reviews before i purchesed this and had a little trial as well, first thoughts were that it reminded me of the film The Running Man with arnie! No actual significance to the game except the layout and graphics reminded me of it.,
A different game to all the rest i have played and i really enjoyed it, hint button was available and skips for the games :)
Got harder as the game went on - maybe that was just me! Overall though a really enjoyable game.
I recommend this game!

I read the reviews for this game before i purchsed and wasnt too sure if i had made the right choice.
My first reaction is that people need to try this first as its not everyones cup of tea.
The game itself is really good, great graphics although yes it was a little easy at some points and you dont get the option to play easy or hard mode.
The game is a different format to many other games, you find the HO and the object obtained helps you in the certain room your in, you complete one room before moving onto the next which was great - no running back and forth.
Overall i liked it and cant wait for the sequel :)
I recommend this game!

Checked out the reviews for buying this and i must say i wasnt dissapointed at all.
The storyline was great, reminded me a little of a filmed called "28 days later." Hint was good and the HO games were easily viewable. Puzzles were not too hard either.
Took me about 4 hours to complete the game, maybe longer! A little running back and forth between scenes but that wasnt too hard.
Overall a really great game.
I recommend this game!
