I am a beginner to HOPA games, thus my review is based on a beginner to these types of stories. 2 kids inherit the family mansion. When they get there to meet the realtor, the realtor is gone (gasp). You must save your brother who was knocked unconscious while ringing the doorbell. There are 2 modes, regular and challenging. I played in regular. There are sparkles indicating hidden object scenes and scenes worth taking a look. The hidden object scenes are fairly straightforward and interactive. There is a useful journal and a task list which tells you what you should be doing next. Puzzles were fairly straightforward. The game was fairly linear in that I actually figured out what I was supposed to be doing (and that is a challenge in some of these games). I'm not sure yet if this is a buy for me, but I would definitely consider it.
I recommend this game!
Times of great peril give rise to even greater heroes - or so the story goes in Dragon Crossroads, a time management game with a fantasy twist!

There are so very few TM games, I went ahead and played the demo, then purchased. There are no dragons... even though the title implies dragons. The narrator stands right in the middle of the screen so it's impossible to see the screen until you press start. The graphics are, well, blahhhh. The movements of the characters are jerky and clumsy and the game is glitchy, sometimes getting stuck. Each "round" or level lasts about 2 minutes (or less) and half the time, I wasn't even sure what I was trying to accomplish by the time the level ended. I did try to like this game, if only because there are so few good TM games of late. However, it's disappointing. Challenge level was easy. Sound was off so I can't comment on that. Not even close to the quality and fun factor of games such as Roads of Rome or Island Tribe.
I don't recommend this game.
