This game is loaded with things to do. In addition the voice overs are good and the graphics are colorful. I played the normal mode
4 modes of play: casual, normal, hard, custom. level can be changed during play
morphing objects
Collectibles: fortune telling cards, soldiers, origamies, runes. You gain points for finding these.
games: fun and most not too hard, can be skipped
In the normal mode, you are penalized for clicking too much during HO's. Not so, in the casual mode. The HO's have some interactive items And you can change to a puzzle mode if you want to do so.
I liked the mix of HO's and Games
You have a journal with goals listed as you go along. plus story line information
You travel to many different locations which is nice.
There are just so many things to do, places to go that you don't get bored.
Hint button is wonderful. Loads fast but a little slower during HO's. It tells you where to go
Map will transport you to other locations
Voice overs that are necessary for the story line and well done. Can't be skipped.
That's all I can think of right now.
HAVE FUN playing! I highly recommend this one.
I recommend this game!

First, I am on the intermediate level and there are games that I have had to depend on the SG. This is NOT one. In fact, I wish there was less hand holding. Note: I played on the Regular mode. There are two levels and Regular was the easiest.
There is a map, does not transport: however, I did not need it.
You have a Journal which, also, targets your goals.
The hint button is excellent. Loads quickly during HO's and lets you know where to go next. It will supply sparkles as to where to go and an arrow. When clicking on an active area, you will be informed as to exactly what object you need to add in order to take the object or activate it.
The HO's are interactive and not difficult. Graphics are very nice.
There is a great deal of dialogue which is well done. Please note, you are allowed to SKIP. I enjoyed this part of the game.
Games I played during the demo were somewhat familiar and not hard. They are skipable.
I would have given this game five stars, had it been more difficult, as it was well done. I enjoyed that it was based on a "true" story.
I'm undecided as to whether to wait for the SE or purchase the one with the SG as I would like to continue playing, today.I do suggest that you play the trial version before making a decision.
I recommend this game!

I just finished this game. Playing of it was spread over 2 to 3 days. I especially liked being able to exit and when returning not being lost because of the helpful map. It was easy to pick up where you had stopped.
Also, it was delightful to have the transporter map and the hint button was helpful when needed. I preferred using the map for hints as to where to go rather than using the hint button.
I gave this five stars because it was really fun to play, sound quality and voice overs were wonderful and the story line was particularly good.
When I first started playing, I wasn't very impressed. However, as I progressed, I became more and more involved and really didn't want it to end. Although, I didn't use the SG, it was nice to have the bonus game
I recommend this game!

I just completed the main game and bonus ones. This was pure pleasure!
Loved the transporter map, hint button was great and I used it rarely, graphics were beautiful, HOS interactive and fun, and rich story line.
The game was not especially difficult nor were the mini ones.
My day playing this was a pleasurable one and I look forward to playing the game again in the near future.
I highly recommend this game.

This game is worth playing just for the story and especially the ending! I have to play thiis , again.
The voice overs and cut scenes were very good and needed. Graphics were great. It's not a difficult game but well worth the money spent. The HOS start off easy and increase, somewhat, in difficulty. The hint button functions during HOs and to keep you on track. It refills quickly enough. The games are not really difficult but still fun.
After being stuck on two games, this was a refreshing change. In my opinion, it is worth buying just for the story.I know I am being redundant so you know I really recommend it.
I recommend this game!

I gave it an overall rating of 5 stars because of the especially good story line, the nice graphics, the voice overs were well done, and the smooth flow of the game. Also, as mentioned previously, the lack of blood and gore was refreshing. I did not miss skulls, vampires, skeletons, etc. at all.
Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
I recommend this game!

I'm playing the CE and am really enjoying this game. As for the SG, I was somewhat annoyed because when you check a page and return to the game, then go back to the guide, you have to start with the beginning of your chapter and keep clicking till you are up to date. That being said, the graphics are nice, like the story iine, and visiting numerous places.I thought the HO's were good. Some items were obvious and others, for me, required some serious looking and clicking around. I rather liked this variety.
Others have gone into detail; so, I am posting to,basially, express my opinion, I DO recommend this game.

I just played the trial and enjoyed it very much. It was fun, not too hard, nice voice quality, and good story line. I liked the HOS and the fact that interactive parts were included, Also, it had a transporter map! For me that is a "biggie". I gave it an overall rating of 4 stars because I reserve
5 for games that I feel the SG just might be needed.
I plan to buy this game when it is released as a standard version. Please, do play the trial because it is really a nice game.
I recommend this game!

After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase this and am really glad I did so. It's just plain fun! Don't you all love having a map that transports you to sites?
This is a nice game to play when you are worn out from playing difficult ones. The story line is interesting, graphics nice and I particularly like the interactions during the HOS.
The games are not too hard, thank goodness, and the hint button works well.
Guess that's about if. I definitely recommend this one because it is so enjoyable.
I recommend this game!

What a delightful game!
Lovely scenes, fun HOS (really like the interaction), some unique activities, and games were not too difficult. Long game. Please note that I did play it off and on, today, and have yet to finished. It was so enjoyable, I didn't want to rush through it. Really like this developer. Hint button was great and filled at a nice rate during the casual mode. There is a lot of running around; however, the transporter map is a delight.
Well, those are some of my thoughts re the game. If in doubt, I strongly suggest you try the trial.
I strongly recommend this game.
Have fun!
