Completed-This is one of my all time favorites. The story is captivating and keeps me wanting more. The graphics are high quality, the music award winning, and the acting and voice overs are fabulous. All the characters memorable to their roles. Even the family cat has an important part. And the twists are something I'll never forget. So, if you are looking for something different this game and Encore are worth the money you pay. The others in this series are good as well. And you don't have to by the CE to enjoy a great game.
I recommend this game!

Completed-This game is a must have for those looking for something different than gloomy and dismal. Though there is a dark cloud floating about it can't thwart the bright, cheery scenes and colorful characters I encountered. The story starts out sad but has a wonderful, uplifting end. The puzzles are not easy or hard, though a couple were a bit challenging in casual mode. I loved not having every thing given to me...I had to take my time and search the scenes for items. There is a map that can be used to travel but there is a catch, there's a brief cool down time between travel times. And the map does show areas of interest but doesn't reveal what has to be done, which I liked. I highly recommend this game to those who are looking for a something doesn't give you all the bells and whistles.

(Completed) I tremendously enjoyed this game. The graphics are bright and cheery. The music was awesome. All the characters were delightful with a touch of whimsy. The story was captivating . The puzzles were a great blend of entertainment. I even felt sorry for the witch when all she wanted was someone to love but just looking in the wrong places. And the end was a surprise. I do hope they make another one in this series. It would be nice to see the witch have a love of her own after getting into much trouble.:D

This game is a gem! It is different because it is kind of scifi/industrial. The story is engrossing, the characters wonderful and the puzzles aren't that easy or hard. (And not one HOs in the entire game!) The graphics and music are great. The voice acting well done. There isn't a need for a map because the (chapters) are the perfect size to traverse between scenes to complete objectives for the area before moving on. Most items needed to complete a task are easy to find though I had to search around to find them, which was nice. I can say I enjoyed this game and others by this developer. I recommend this game if you are looking for something different that doesn't have all the bells and whistles like most BF games now have.

This is the 3rd in this series and each story is unique in it's own right! The story has lots of adventure. The graphics are awesome and the music rocks. The voice acting is great and the cinemas fit in perfectly. The story is awesome though at times I felt it could have been a bit richer in areas. I loved the fact that is showed how living out of balance with nature can have side effects on the world around us. It also showed how rivalry can effect one's relationship with their siblings. It also shows how love can survive the blasts of an icy storm.

(CE) Be prepared to get wet. You play Marcus who washes on shore with a vague sense of his past. As you progress through an adventurous story and an amazing variety of puzzles you learn just how true love is loyal and how friends are not always what they seem. So, strap on your fins and snorkel and prepare to take in the beautiful scene and awesome music as you explore the land and sea in this must have adventure!

Of the 3 in this series, this one is my most favorite. Who thought that rescuing the family dog could be an epic, adventurous story. This game is exactly that from the opening movie, to exploring the graphically awesome scenes, and solving the variety of puzzles. Along the journey to find Pippa is a cast of well voiced characters and a musical score that is out of the gaming zone! And as the game progresses so does the story, revealing a love lost, tragedy and hope combined into a beautiful package. So, strap on the skis and bundle up for an adventure that is worth buying.

Completed game-From the beginning to the end the story is captivating. The graphics are bright, beautiful and the scenes are brush stroked like actual paintings. The cut scenes were at the right moments, which gave the game's story more meaning. The voice acting was done well. I liked the musical score a lot. TThe puzzles in casual mode aren't to hard or easy. The HOs are very interactive...lots of mini puzzles to solve to get the item. I loved collecting the palette of brushes, finishing the paintings then stepping in to them. Smudge was a beauty to look at and a delight to have along. The end was a twist that left me wanting a sequel.

(Completed Game) A town that vanished along with it's people. An agent sent to find out why. That is the story I found myself in and it was great! The graphics and music are good. The cut scenes were very well placed and propelled me to the next part of the game. The puzzles on casual mode weren't that easy but not to hard either. There are quite a few HOs but they fit well with the game. There is a map but it doesn't have any bells and whistles and no traveling. Yes, I had to travel the old fashioned way, by mouse foot clicking. ;) The hint has a bonus...if I got stuck and couldn't figure were to go the hint showed me and gave me the option to travel to the scene. And the hint does reset in a timely manner. I highly recommend this game because it is 5 stars all the way across (in my opinion).

At first I wasn't sure about getting this game. I am glad I did. I really enjoyed it. The story was different even though I encountered familiar and new characters throughout the game. The puzzles were not to easy or hard on casual/normal mode. I liked that I didn't have every thing handed to me in the scenes, which meant I had to look around a bit. In the HOs I didn't just find the items but had to interactive to find certain objects. There was a couple of times I wasn't sure what the next task was and had to use the hint. And there were a couple of unexpected twists in the game and the ending left me wanting more. Also, the game was a nice length, not short, a big plus.
I recommend this game!
