This is by far the best game I've ever played! Great story line and the whole game ties in with the story, a true adventure! Even the HO scenes are actually part of the story line which is rarely seen in other adventure games. The game flows logically and smoothly except on 2 or 3 occasions when it gets a bit over creative, hahaa.
Another good thing about it is that it doesn't make you run back and forth in a complicated and large map like a chicken with it's head chopped off.
Graphic is great! I played on a 27" monitor and it is still clear and sharp and no distortion on widescreen.
The bonus game is nice but it's a bit hard to follow either because I was totally brain dead by then or it is genuinely hard to work out what to do next. I practically had to use the Strategy Guide to guide me through the entire bonus game.
Overall, this game sets a very high standard for the others to follow! This is what an adventure game should be - takes you on a journey rather than filling it up with meaningless tasks and loads of HO scenes.
I recommend this game!

Could have been a 5 star: great story, true wide screen, good graphic and resolution, beautiful scenes and very very very creative. However, the biggest pain is the extremely fussy mouse !!! In many situations throughout the game, it's almost like the precision is down to the pixel for it to work. The worst part is you can't skip and have to keep trying till you hit the precise pixel. It's frustration to the power of frustration!!! I never thought I could actually finish this game for this reason. Also, many of the mini games are without adequate info, leaving you clueless as to what you're supposed to do. Sometimes stupid hidden orders are applied where there is no apparent reason for it and as a result if you don't do it in the hidden order, it won't work. There is no map and the hint doesn't lead you to the right location, just gives you a description, so you have to remember what is called where. Also, some mini games are a pain to play, they are those at random re-arrangement of patterns, simply too many of them!
I don't recommend this game.

It's an OK game, still room for improvement with the graphics. Less repeat HO scenes would be better.
I recommend this game!

Very interesting and captivating story line! Would be nice if there's voice over. The character sometimes pops up out of nowhere and gives you a startle, hahaa. There's a mini game towards the end with no clues at all and no skip and I got stuck and had to find answer in the walkthrough.
I recommend this game!

A fascinating game! The story flows. The layout of the map is so logical and ties in so well with the story that I can actually remember my way around most of the time! The mouse is a bit problematic in some occasions eg in a HO scene when you pick something up and change your mind and want to put it back, it won't let you. Other than that, it's simply an enjoyable game. The extra game "the last chapter" is more like "the background chapter".
I recommend this game!

Great story and graphics and loved the first 5 chapters, truly awesome. Had I submitted my review at that point it would have been 5 stars. However, the 2nd half of the game is filled with excessive and ridiculous amount of Hidden Objects. It gets to the point where initially I was annoyed by it, then I was frustrated by it but persevered, then it was purely painful to continue but I did just because I wanted to finish the game.
All the fun that I had in the first half of the game was gone. All I could remember about this game was the avalanche of punishing amount of HOs. Why did they ruin such an otherwise wonderful game with the ridiculous amount of HOs? In order to meet the criteria of a "long" game?
I don't recommend this game.
