5-BN does games right. I just played this series of games (theres 4 total). Every single one was amazing. I was actually sad to play the last one. The CE is well worth the extramoney. The bonus chapters are long and actually great. There are many collectibles and morphing objects. Since this review is coming in so late, I won't say anything about the plot, story, etc. except that it was great for each game. If you haven't played this series yet and are looking for something other than "find the wrench" give these a try. You truly won't be disappointed.
I recommend this game!

I played this after the update to fix the bugs came out so my game wasn't glitchy. However, this game was soooooo slow. I think I drifted off 4 times while playing it. I just got finished played the Witches Legacy series and it was so nice to play long, fast moving, challenging games. Then I finally started on this one. Same old same old. Yes the theme was different but I didn't care for it. The characters were wooden and to me, very unlikable. I really wanted to run the grandson over with the buggy. "I broke the cart but here, maybe this will help"... hands her a cane. eyeroll. Domini always has good HOS. However, I do not like their puzzles. I don't like puzzles at all, but I really dislike theirs. Maybe it's the way the directions are written or maybe I'm just that bad at them. As always, with Domini, color and artistry was great. Some will like this, some won't. I was not a fan. I look every day hoping to see a game, any game, where I can say wow. In the past, my to buy list was so long. Now, I don't even have one. I recommend this after you trial it.

This is the first sequel to this series. I thought it was fairly good. The story did jump all over the place a lot of times, and I wondered how I got from point A in the story to point B. I didn't recall anyone mentioning they had to go to an amusement park but I could have been zoning out. Everything was typical Domini. I think the story just made it a little better than those of late. I took off a star for grammar... to me that's just plain sloppy. They had their usual "put out the fire" with no fire in sight. They do this a lot. I haven't played the bonus chapter yet. I thought the main game was short for a Domini game. Usually they are longer. Yes, you'll need a fan to puff all that smoke away, and yes you'll need 14 types of cutters for wires, bushes, chains, etc. I think it's worth purchasing if you need a no think game for a lazy day. If you're looking for a challenge, I'd skip it.
I recommend this game!

I debated whether to give this 3 or 4 stars and decided on 3. We have the same Domini game play, just a different story. Someone else said it in their review and I'll say it too. It didn't seem like a Fairy Godmother Story series game. I did notice a couple new puzzles thrown in and one or 2 different HOS. However, the mecahnisms were all the same. You find the same objects in every Domini game. And it takes a long time to find one, however your inventory never overflows and you never leave the same 3 scenes until you use that inventory. I do like Domini games once in a while. Their older games were so much better with much more challenge. The new ones are totally dumbed down but some days that's a nice thing. A nice light hearted game. I really didn't like the prince in the main game. I thought he was whiny and I personally would have left him in the dust. For a prince, he was quite useless. The bonus chapter was actually pretty good and fairly long (considering how short they are anymore). I say if you want an easy light game, go for it. If youre looking for a challenge, keep looking.
I recommend this game!

I have been playing my older games that I bought and just never got around to playing. This one is amazing. Very creepy and great story line. The HOS and puzzles are good. I was glued to my seat during this game which says a lot since I have a very short attention span. This one definitely has replay value. If you haven't played it, give it a try. I definitely recommend.
I recommend this game!

I didn't think it was awful, but didn't think it was great. I really like this series, but this one was kind of a dud. I was confused throughout the game, since the dying king was writing a letter to his son. However, a female seemed to play the heirs part. Or I could be wrong. If you've played a Domini game, you need no info on HOS or puzzles. Or game mechanics or what to find. It's the same in every game. The bonus chapter was pretty bad. Seems like a different team wrote that bonus chapter and the English was not checked well at all. I would recommend this if you're into this series or want a super easy linear game to kill a few hours.
I recommend this game!

I have played other Surface games years ago, but this one was so different. A fairy tale game but it was very good. Not sure how I missed it. This was back when Elephant made great games. Lots of collectibles to find and it had quite a bit of challenge. HOS were varied and good. Games were unique to me. I'm glad I bought the CE as I really liked the bonus story. If you haven't checked out the Surface games yet, give them a chance. Most are pretty good.
I recommend this game!

So we have Derek who blames himself for a car accident which puts his wife into a coma. Out pops a genie and grants him a cure for his wife. Of course Derek takes the deal, then realizes he's been tricked. This could have been really good. But it wasn't. Acting was so boring it was like watching paint dry. Game was totally linear. Puzzles were extremely easy. HOS were dark and easy. Not many collectibles or puzzle pieces to fid. It certainly didn't warrant the CE price tag.. The bonus chapter was more of the same. Short. Way short. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Elephant has lost its gaming touch and I really don't think they care. After the conclusion to the Haunted Hotel series, I said I wouldn't buy another Elephant game. That's how disgusted I was with their ending to a 20 game series. This time I mean it. Never again. It took me about 2 hours to play the entire game plus the bonus chapter and I took a few breaks.
I don't recommend this game.

I do like this series Some games have been better than others, but that normal. I also love games from this developer. This one missed the mark somewhere. Graphics and color were great. HOS and puzzles were good. The story is what I had difficulty with. I felt it was very disjointed and one of those games you just keep playing to finish it. The bonus chapter was just ok. This series started out so creative and amazing, and now we are down to finding a twinkle. I simply doesn't do much for me. I don't recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

I had high hopes for this new series. However, I thought it was mediocre at best. Exact same Domini collectibles. Exact same tasks as every other one of their games. Same sayings too. I was able to do the mini games which means they were very easy as I have zero patience for figuring out puzzles. Game play was very linear and simplistic. The color and art work, as usual for Domini, was excellent. The game, to me, seemed klunky. It took a couple tries trying to pick something up from inventory and the game seemed choppy. I really thought with a name like city Legends, more of the city they were in would be utilized which would have been a great idea. It took me lots of stops and starts to finish the entire game which means it didn't keep my attention. I've been playing older games and they are so much better than any recent offering we have received. The game i listed in my recommended game was ecellent. I just finished it and had so much fun with it. It had the best bonus chapter ever. As for this game, I don't recommend.
I don't recommend this game.
