I haven't played any other of the Empress of the Deep games, so I didn't really know what to expect. I found even with the tutorial turned off, they gave constant hints and directions about what to do. The cutscenes were way overdone. Too many and too much talking. Some graphics were nice and clear, some, especially the multitude of HOS, were blurry. The voice of the princess was annoying and not believable. The games were simplistic. There was a map, but non-interactive. I just found the whole game... the story-line, the talking, the cut scenes... too much and not to my liking at all.
I don't recommend this game.

This is an older game that I've just played now. I was thoroughly impressed and surprised at how good it was. I loved it. Humorous, good adventure, good puzzles (easy-ish), not too many HOS, great graphics. Give the demo a try if you haven't. I loved it.
Vanessa is in Italy to find her missing grandfather and save the world from evil. You, as Vanessa, must roam around a very large cathedral to figure out how to save the world and your grandpa. Luckily there is an interactive map or you could be lost for days. LOL. There is a journal. The hint button fills quickly and gives you directional arrows outside of the HOS. I ran across only a few HOS and they were simple. I found the mini games ti be of medium difficulty but very confusing with no real useful directions. I would definitely wait for the SE, as there are no achievements, etc. Just a bonus chapter and a SG that was poorly done. I liked the story line and where the story was going. What I didn't like, and this may just be me, but everything seemed SMALL, even with the nice graphics. This game is a maybe for me, but that is all based on my personal taste. Demo it and you may love it !!!
I recommend this game!

I must say I liked this game. Something different. Yes, it looked like an older game. None of the sound effects, morphing objects, etc. However, I enjoyed the way the game played out. You and your fiance crash your motorcycle, are brought into Frankenstein's castle, and meet the ghost of another girl who had the same fate many years ago. There are achievements to earn and a journal with tasks that are fun. There is no map but it's easy to find your way around and you are basically told what to do and where to go, so there's no wandering around. There are no HOS per se, however, you do need to pick up items that you need to complete tasks. The music is horrible, the voices are horrible LOL. However, something about the game intrigued me.
I own Rescue Team 1 and 2, and rarely play them because, frankly, they're quite horrible. I must say #3 is an improvement. There are more things to do, the timer seems a bit more lenient. You can click ahead in this game and it does show where you click... the previous games did not. It has 18 achievements you can earn. You can also hire rescued citizens for the houses, food stands, etc., although that kind of confused me. I'm not sure why I want to hire them. It doesn't really say why you'd want to do this. If you've played the other 2, the graphics are the same, just with some more water and vegetation laying around. The voices saying "wow", etc., are annoying. So another no go for me on a TM game. I keep hoping I come on BF one day and find a good one. Today is not the day.

In this game, you are a peasant who finds herself in a castle where everyone has been put into a deep slumber by a curse. You have no memory of how you got here, but soon pieces of your memory come back and you discover you were to marry the prince. You meet the "heart of the castle", a mechanical ghost? I'm not quite sure what he is. He has you running around the castle (which is large) to find the things you need to awaken the sleeping castle inhabitants before they die. There is a helpful journal and a map which does transport you, thank goodness. The HOS are well done and easy on the eyes. The mini games or puzzles are simplistic but some make no sense at all. There is dialogue to read but it is also spoken... not bad. This game isn't my type of game, meaning it did not grab me and make me want to continue or find out more. No reason for that, just personal preference. I suggest you try it, you may enjoy it.

This is an extremely cute TM game. You are a little fairy who cleans for storybook creatures. The game is simple to learn, cute, fun, and not real difficult. A great little time passer. Every once in a while I reload it onto my desktop and play. Fun.

Yayy. Finally the SE has arrived. I had played the CE and have been awaiting the SE. The HOS are nice, slightly interactive and not difficult. The story line is very interesting. Just one of those games that grabbed my attention from the beginning. Must be the vampire theme :) I am off to buy !!
