This game has everything! The storyline was unique in comparison to a lot of others that I have played. The map that indicated where there were actions to be performed was a great asset to a player. I wish more games had it. The puzzles were challenging, but not impossible. I loved the rooster helper that was able to get things that were out of reach. I can't recommend this game enough. If you are looking for a game that is challenging but not going to make you want to beat your head against a wall, this is the one to spend your money on, you won't regret it.
I recommend this game!

I had such high hopes for this game. The graphics were not impressive and the storyline was predictable after a short time. I got very bored with the game and unlike any other HO game I have played it took me a very long time to push through. The only reason I didn't completely quit it and not finish it is because I paid for it. I did think that the hint option was helpful at times. Overall the mini games were not that challenging and the back and forth got to be extremely tiresome. When I did finish the game all I felt was relief that I could move on to a new game. Don't waste your time or money.
I don't recommend this game.

This is one of the best HOA games I have ever played. The story, music, and the graphics were all wonderful. The ghostly element of the game is so chilling. There were times that ghosts popped up that actually had me scared. I wish I could find 10 more games like this. This is definitely the best in this series. Salem Witches was really good too. I can only hope that they make another one.
I recommend this game!

I read all of the reviews and was really looking forward to playing this game. Wow! What a disappointment. I agree that the voice over of Belle was horrible. However, the game continually tells you what to do when it feels you have lingered too long in one location. Then this is listed as a Hidden Object game and yet I felt as though I didn't really have any hidden object scenes until c lose to the end of the game. I wanted to quit the game, but once you pay for it you feel like you might as well finish it. The puzzles were not challenging at all either. Simple matching games? Don't waste your money.
I don't recommend this game.

I found this game to be a great mix of challenges. You really had to work through several sections to finally finish each time period. I thought that the graphics were really well done and the music wasn't distracting. There were always plenty of puzzles to keep my busy, guessing, and occupied as I was navigating my way through the game.
I recommend this game!
