Morgana, the spider woman, is back in this sequel. I must say, I didn't care for the first installment to this series, and this one struck me as luke-warm. You have your usually CE things.. strategy guide, achievements, and collect 30 posters. The game mechanics have been described perfectly by other reviewers, so I won't go into that. This game was very very easy. Everything you needed was either right there or very close. The HOS were the opposite of clicky picky. Meaning, the area around what you needed was very wide. It became annoying to me after awhile. The puzzles really lacked any kind of rhyme or reason for me. The story was good. Graphics were good. To me, this was a middle of the road game. Different strokes for different folks. This one I just couldn't get into. I do recommend because it's a nice game, just not for me.
I recommend this game!

I have only played one other of the Monument Builder games, and I recall liking that one more than this one. The graphics and sound here are very good. However, its presentation is almost juvenile. There's just too much going on at once in order to fully appreciate the game. A lot of rapid clicking, which is difficult when there's lots of other things to click on. I just didn't like it. Not my type of TM game at all. Good points were you could click ahead if you had enough workers, and great visuals. Other than that, I'll have to pass.
I don't recommend this game.

This is definitely not worthy of a CE edition. Way too short. This one comes down to a matter of taste (no pun intended). I just didn't like the game. Didn't like the animations. Didn't like the plot, albeit a very loose plot. Didn't like the game mechanics (the hand). Just not one for me. Because of the short length, I cannot recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

This is another ERS game. The other reviewers did an excellent job of reviewing game mechanics, etc. Although it did have more "oomph" than other ERS games, it was just sickly sweet. You are given a little fairy to help you along your way. There are achievements in the "fairy" house to earn. The hint button is another helper who shoots an arrow at what needs to be done, but after testing him out a few times, I found it hard to determine exactly what he was shooting at. The music and visuals are wonderful. The strategy guide, which I also checked out, was well done and helpful. So, in a nutshell, I'm not saying it's a bad game. It's just not a game for me. It was overly cutesy, overly saccharine sweet, and too much on the fairy kingdom side for me.
I recommend this game!

I could not believe this game was even offered as a selection. The graphics are awful and looks aged. I can't think of one positive thing to say, so nuff said.
I don't recommend this game.

If you've played any of the RE games, you've played this one. It is very very similar to RE 2. Yes, it does have its cutesy parts, however, I think Playrix could have done a bit better in giving us something at least a little different. Music, voice overs, etc., are all the same. I would not buy this as a CE. Yes it offers the wallpaper, strategy guide, etc., however I don't feel that's worth 7.00 extra. I may eventually get this if it comes out as a SE and is on sale. Otherwise, this is a no for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I loved all of the Grim Tales games (except the Stone Queen), but this one is my favorite. Spooky, creepy.... right up my alley. HOS are nice and interactive. I do not find them dark or miniscule. The puzzles/mini games are inventive and fun. Story is great. I do not have one complaint about this game. Happy gaming
I recommend this game!

I will not review the game options and mechanics as other reviewers have done a wonderful job of that. Usually I would jump in glee for a game that is pure adventure without loads of HOS. This game, however, had no "it" factor for me at all. I found myself struggling to get through the demo. The voices are definitely annoying, but for me I don't use that to judge a game. It seemed to drone on and on without any real point to it. I'm not a big fantasy game lover, so perhaps this had something to do with my dislike of the game. Mostly, it was just blahh for me. Of course, demo the game, we all have different tastes :)
I don't recommend this game.

I'm going to have to go against the tide with this one. I just did not enjoy it, although it was a fine game. Perhaps it was just not the day for me to play this one, I'm not quite sure. I felt befuddled, rushed, and impatient during the game. While the graphics were clear and it is a nice soft game release, I'll not be purchasing this one. Perhaps if I really wanted a day where I needed a thinking game, this would be the one. Not today however. :)

Very similar to MKFTP. I'm at a loss why these developers who also developed MKFTP would make this game so similar. Cannot click ahead. Very slow going. The challenge level is too high. I love a challenge, however, this game was tedious just trying to finish. I personally didn't care for it. I also didn't care for a developer basically remaking a game and giving it a new title.
I don't recommend this game.
