NOT MCF. NOT RAVENHEARST. But Big Fish is a business and it seems that many people liked this game. I would not recommend this game for adults. Good game for kids. I REALLY MISS the authentic MCF!!!
I don't recommend this game.

Comparing Sacred Grove to ANY of the MCF games is like comparing a 3 yr old's crayon drawing of me to Mona Lisa.

We sure miss Adrian Woods! He was the genius behind MCF and with him gone, if Sacred Grove is any indication, MCF, sadly, is gone too.
Sacred Grove for it's own sake was a disappointment. I bought it because then the reviews were high and I thought I had missed something. Nope. The Faux MFC had none of the excitement, creativity, attention to detail, humor, wit, sound design; none of the Genius of MCF. Going from scenario to scenario, put one oddly shaped key into an oddly shaped depression is BORING! The tale is badly told. For pete's sake! the story advances with notes (that no one would write!) and irritating interruptions of badly made cinematics! A cheap and fast way to create a game. Absolutely NO creativity. No thought. Sacred Grove's ONLY redeeming quality is the beautiful graphics. Eipix does this very well. Unfortunately, that falls light years short of the authentic MCFs.

Childish, NOT scary except maybe to small children! Even on sale, not worth the money! Extremely easy, very little to do in each scene, storyline- terrible!, graphics are not great. Nothing about this game has quality. But maybe I'm just spoiled. Don't understand the high ranks; but it seems some reviewers give every game 5 stars.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a great little game! The player guides Joe through a sensible storyline, finding and using the tools he'll need to move on. The Graphics are simple but the game is so interesting that you soon forget about that. Using common sense and your imagination, you'll be able to guide Joe to accomplish his mission to save the world! These are my favorite type games, usually found in 360 degree, first person genre. The Silent Age is one of the more simpler of this genre but a lot of fun! The ending came too quickly though and was somewhat anti-climatic.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed playing the game. It's a RELAXING true adventure game. You get substantially more help then most 360 degree adventures and for those who are HO crazy, there are some hidden object games. For the hard core, tried and true 360 adventurer, this game might prove too easy. But even for them, there are times when you just don't want to think that much! and this game is a soothing alternative. The Fall Trilogy: Part 3 is somewhat short but A LOT OF FUN!! and that's why I play. Graphics are beautiful, storyline is totally logical and picks up where Part 2 left off.
I recommend this game!

Great graphics, easy common games with a switch, decent music, and I liked the storyline until it turned hokey; the name of the opposition for example; the music was more grown up. There was a fair amount of interaction but many missed opportunities for more. Still, I can see where many fishes would really enjoy this game. I like a little more interaction and challenge.

Interesting twist on a reasonable science fiction Storyline, Graphics are the typical awesome Mystery Trackers. Nice music. Not really a fan of animal helpers, but am getting used to Elf; I believe I would miss him if he weren't there. What I loved most was the interaction, Great Fun!
I recommend this game!

This review is based on the Demo (that I didn't finish), and believe me, that's all I needed. The first Phantasmat's graphics were very simple but as far as a star better than this one. Storyline, puzzles, very predictable; this game seemed to be several techniques borrowed from other games pushed into the usual overused storyline. Beginners would like it. It seems ethically wrong somehow to entitle this game Phantasmat.
I don't recommend this game.

Absolutely the BEST 360 I've played so far and my new favorite game! Good Length, Intelligent, logical, beautiful, exciting, and FUN, FUN, FUN!!! Great mini games that take some thought but aren't so difficult that you have to have a 200 IQ to solve. They're just FUN and made me think. The reasons I love to play. Storyline is very good. Logical and entertaining from beginning to end. Absolutely recommend this game for anyone who likes 360s.
I recommend this game!

Based on Demo. Gorgeous game, but a lot of over used mini-games. Characters are one dimensional. Plot is ridiculous; why hide a multitude of lock parts and leave incriminating evidence in the form of notes, right out in the open. Good game for youngsters who like beauty and don't care about substance.
I don't recommend this game.
