My favorite part of these games is the puzzles, and this game has a LOT of them. Played on the hardest mode and didn't have a problem with any of them, so the game could have been a bit more challenging. I'm not a huge fan of HOS's but this game has some variety because you have to find the hidden objects and then use them in the scene. Music was good, voiceovers were good, and the graphics weren't the best I've ever seen but they were certainly adequate. I mean, who really cares if the characters' lips move in sync to their speaking? That's not why I play these games. 4 1/2 stars for me!
I recommend this game!

3 1/2 stars for me. I was really enjoying it and hoping it would go on for a long time, but it ended up being quite short. Some different puzzles that were fun. Voiceovers were okay except for the squeaky annoying guy. HOS's were more fun than usual with some different twists.
For me, a 5-star game needs to have decent length and a little more challenge.

Finally, a game I can give 5 stars to!
Just a fantastic game that goes on and on. (And I'm not even finished yet!) I bought the SE and can't imagine how good the CE must be, because I'm getting way more than my money's worth out of this one.
The graphics are superb, the voiceovers some of the best, music that fits the story, puzzles that entertain, challenges in trying to figure out what to do next, and I could go on.
Definitely gets my vote for game of the year! It'll be almost impossible to top this one!
I recommend this game!

Good 4-star game. Graphics and music were very good. Voiceovers just okay. HOS's and puzzles were better than average but could have been a little more challenging. Fun game!

Wish this game had gone on a little longer. I was enjoying it, but because it's so easy I guess that makes it shorter because you're not spending as much time trying to figure out what to do next. Not a bad game but it ended too soon.
I recommend this game!

Had fun with this. Nothing outstanding but still a decent game with lots of puzzles and no HOS's. Voiceovers were very good. Puzzles went from ridiculously easy to somewhat challenging, with a few new ones thrown in. I'm a fan of ERS, although their music has gone downhill from what it used to be. Will be playing most of their games.
I recommend this game!

Really enjoyed this one. No complaints at all. Voiceovers were particularly good; they sounded like real actors. Good puzzles, great graphics, music was appropriate and not annoying, not an overabundance of HOS's. Highly recommend.

Good game. And it was longer than many other games. I enjoyed the puzzles and even the HOS's, which tended to pop up more frequently towards the end of the game. I think most players would have a good time with this game. Well done, Elefun!

I liked this one. I had my doubts at first because of some of the bad reviews, but it's obvious that most of those people only played the demo. It started out a little slow but got better and better. So playing the demo isn't enough to give this game a fair chance. It was quite long and had some fun puzzles. Voiceovers were mostly good. I played it because I've played the other Awakening games. I wasn't disappointed.
I recommend this game!

I couldn't wait for this one to be over. Found it boring and difficult to follow. Way too much running around, especially on the ship. I kept using hints just to get to the end. Almost didn't finish it.
I see it came out a couple of years ago so I probably shouldn't have bought it. These games have come so far in the last two years that this one seemed very out of date.
I don't recommend this game.
