It's been awhile since we've been treated to a Collector's Edition that actually has enough sustenance to qualify for it's namesake, a decent and revengeful storyline, quality graphics, morphing objects, collectible poetry AND the absolute best sidekick EVER!!

Young Edward de Vere is the ward and student of the Queen's Maid of Honor, Willa de Shakeston. He was writing an essay when Willa was momentarily distracted by a sudden storm, in the blink of an eye, a fiery flash appeared and Edward vanished into thin air! The only evidence left behind was an eerie note scribbled upon the foggy window, "A son for a daughter" It would seem that we have a revengeful spirit, but who, and why has he taken Edward whose father, the Earl of Oxford, has been deceased for quite some time?

I can hardly contain my excitement over the hilarious sidekick helper Spirit of revenge has bestowed upon us. Francis Drake and Willa were childhood friends and Francis has gotten into a little bit of a pickle with the Queen for his questionable ethics, basically he is a common scam artist! Willa persuades the Queen to allow Francis to accompany her on her quest to find Edward. The Queen is skeptical, but grants her wishes stipulating that he must do anything Willa requires, and agrees to pay off his debts when Edward is found, Whenever you need help, Francis is your go to guy, simply place the necessary inventory item as shown as a silhouetted shape above the icon of Francis and sit back and watch the antics of Francis!

This Collector's Edition also has Morphing Objects that will up the ante on the number of hints you receive as well as a barrage of Achievements to earn. There are Collectible Words and Phrases in each scene that will form beautiful Poetry when all words have been found for each of the four categories. Most of the inventory items are complex items that require some type of interaction before using them such as fixing or combining that item with another inventory item.

The Hidden Object Scenes are plentiful, challenging and very entertaining. Some scenes use the entire room as a HOP, some are your typical HOP in a small zoomed in area. There are Progressive Silhouetted Shape finds where you find the first item that matches the silhouetted shape shown and then use that item within the scene logically (key into lock) and there are Silhouette Shape finds in Multiples such as 3 items of the same shape. My favorite HOP was finding key word items in a sketched drawing that gives you one phrase at a time, and you need to figure out which word will be the item you are looking for. The Mini Games aren't really new, but not bad such as deciphering a code using a clue sheet and a cypher to find elements that line up correctly, red equals fire, blue equals air and green equals earth. I enjoyed the game where you had to choose the correct Shields and Axes to match the Coat of Arms and Knights show as you flip levers to find each category.

This Collector's Edition has 9 Wallpaper settings, 9 Concept Art pictures, 8 Music Tracks, 26 Pictures of the VG Team, Morphing Hints, Collectible Poetry Words and Phrases, Achievements, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter Show less

I recommend this game!

That man is a downright trip! I love that sidekick to death. And yes he is eye candy for the ladies. Yes I would be old enough to be his mom, but looking at something like that, does motivate the ticker to keep functioning. I hope he and Willa marry. They do have history together, and they would make the perfect couple. The VO's in the game are perfect. The entire game is perfect. This team couldn't have done it any better. The collectibles are morphers and words. The latter is different, and I wonder if there will be something with them. The only special feature I see with this game is that the cursor at different points in the game turn into a picture of Francis, and you have to give him the right tool to do the task.

Story: Queen Elizabeth 1 sends Willa an urgent message saying that Edward, (the little boy she was watching and Willa's student) has been kidnapped by this black shadow spirit. So now it's up to Willa and Francis to get Edward back. On the way over where Edward is, I think poor Willa fell asleep because Francis talked her ear off. Gosh, and they say women are bad in that area, HA! It's actually the men, and they blame us women to get the eyes off of them.

Graphics: Absolutely gorgeous! There is 3D in there too. Really nicely done.

Music: Beautifully done. Fits very well with the game.

Mini games: Nice variety and new ones. They seem to be for this game only. Put the symbol parts together to form the one that is showing, pick three parts of a certain picture to make up the one showing, you have different symbols and you have to match 3 in a certain way to clear the board. Really nice and fun. Thank God so far no sliders, Simon Says, or untangle the strings. Those 3 type can literally die now.

H0GS: Such an awesome variety. Yes you have your use one item to get to another item, but them you put the items into a book with a mini story. Find the pairs, just different varieties.

Map: Question mark for undiscovered, Exclamation point you have something to do there, and Little Person to show where you are. Jump map.

I want to thank this team for an exceptional and fun game. You can see this game was very well thought out and the love went into it. Kudos to this team. I highly recommend this game. Infinite stars. Show less

I recommend this game!

It is super fun, graphics are beautiful, characters are awesome, HOs are different, puzzles are mostly not too difficult (but there are a lot of them), and the story is intriguing. Here it is, year half over, and finally get a game worth waiting for.....thank you BF. There are morphing items, along with something new; a word you must collect, but don't know why yet, other than you get extra hints. Your helper is a childhood friend that you save from prison to help you on your adventure. There is an interactive map that helps you thru the scenes and actually shows which has current tasks to do. You go back in history to the time of the queen in the 1500s to solve a mystery of a missing boy and this is where you will find all the misdeeds that caused the boy to disappear. I haven't finished, just played the demo, but couldn't wait to purchase so I can find out who the villain is and if the boy is rescued. Happy gaming everyone! Show less

REVIEW BASED ON THE FIRST 3 CHAPTERS OF THE ACTUAL GAME - 6 CHAPTERS PLUS A BONUS CHAPTER

Jealousy and revenge abound in Elizabethan England! You play a tutor to the queen's ward - Edward. When he disappears - you are off to locate him with a childhood friend - Elizabethan bad boy, Francis Drake. To me, this is a helper game which I LOVE with an equal amount of HOP scenes and puzzles. Surprised? So am I. The reason - it is a well crafted game WITH SO MUCH TO DO. It keeps you engaged with a myriad of puzzles and HOP scenes which are varied. It is so creative! I even like the "helper" in this game - Francis Drake - who brings comical relief in a game which would be otherwise a little stiff and stuffy. My kind of guy - SO FUNNY and helpful as well!

A very long game - 53 pages in the Strategy Guide

PUZZLES: A puzzler's delight and a great deal of variety. The entire game is puzzle-like including the inventory. Most are easy or of medium difficulty. They include searching for a code to open a codex, several matching puzzles, finding differences between two pictures, painting so colors do not touch each other, (after the demo) weight and balances puzzle, removal of sticks in order, variation of a moving tile puzzle, a variation of Simon Says puzzle

HOP SCENES: Varied and puzzle-like. Quite a few in this game. They include lists, silhouettes, a variety of FROGS, storybook sentences, matching items to create an item to place in the HOP scene, replacement of items back into the scenes (after the demo) another interactive silhouette

LEVELS: Casual, Advanced, hard, Custom
Hints 15 to 300 seconds Skips 15 to 300 seconds

INVENTORY: Very puzzle-like and well-done It contains several mini-puzzles which we don't usually see in games. One of the best parts of the game.

GRAPHICS : Cartoon-like with brilliant colors - rather old-school in appearance.

EXTRAS:
Map - Map is provided as you play the game
Achievements
Collect 8 hidden words
Morphing Objects
Strategy guide
Helper - "Francis Drake" (I guess before he was knighted LOL). He was your childhood companion. You need to supply him with inventory items for him to perform a task. I USUALLY HATE HELPERS BUT THIS RAPSCALLION IS RATHER COOL AND FUNNY! A real Elizabethan "bad boy!'
Usual wallpaper, art, and music plus bonus game

THE FOLLOWING ARE DETAILS (SPOILERS) OF THE HOP SCENES AND PUZZLES:

HOP SCENES:
A. Silhouette followed by replacing items back into the scenes. Opening drawers to locate items - fairly cool! Very puzzle-like and extremely well-done
B. Second silhouette with items to locate for your travel bag
C. Story book sequence locating items from cryptic sentences in a storybook
D. Another story book scene of finding items and replacing items back into the HOP scene to the proper location
E. Matching pieces of items together and then replacing the completed items into HOP scenes
F. Silhouette locate items to be used within the HOP scene opening boxes to get fragments of a statue
G. Variation of a FROG - looking for a certain amount of each list item followed by replacing items back into the HOP scenes on a mural. So well - done
H. List of items to locate which then interact with the HOP scene
I. Matching
J. Silhouette with an awesome pinball sequence in the HOP scene

PUZZLES:
A. Use a punch card to find the code for a codex. Unique
B. Trace a letter of the alphabet using a pen
C. Place items back into revolving scenes followed by a matching sequence on axes
D. Matching Place books into a bookshelf according to symbols on the books
E. Creating mythical creatures by combining three elements together to open a door
F. Matching so that two phoenixes are identical
G. Find the differences
H. Pair up two lions so they are identical
I. Variation of a matching game with tokens
J. Painting a variation of paint by number - colors cannot touch each other
K. Arrange flowers according to a color code
L. Matching - cylinder according to design - not as easy as you make think
M. Simon says with butterflies
N.. Weights and balances puzzle with angels
O. Matching pairs of books
P. Removing sticks in order
Q. Variation of a moving tile puzzle for a stained glass window
R. Simon Says puzzle with bells

SUCH A GREAT GAME! A FUTURE CLASSIC! SO WELL-DONE! Show less

What a great game! You are Willa de Sharkeston in 1576 Elizabethan England, in charge of a child Edward, te son of the deceased Earl of Oxford. Along comes the black smoke who steals the boy and QE I asks you to get him back. Along the way, it looks like someone is getting revenge on the queen and there may even be a red-haired daughter involved!

You are aided on your journey by the knave (at this time) Francis Drake, your old childhood friend "Frannie", who is quite useful doing all the "manly" things like changing a wheel or climbing a rope. He is also a bit funny, and stuck on himself!

The HOPs are a bit difficult -- I had to use a hint once or twice. They are very interactive, and make you think. Or you have to find "pairs" - like dice and card - and then insert what you find into the next scenario. The mini-games are also unique -- one of my favorites was to match three items to form another - like a mermaid matches with a fish, woman, and water. Again, make sure you have your thinking cap on.

This is a great game in a great setting. I was so involved in the game, I completely missed whatever collectibles I was supposed to find, but there are at least two types.

This is going to be a great gaming summer, with all the good games coming out. Try this one and see for yourself! Show less

The chapter bonus is situated in the past what is less interesting... We already know the outcome of the story so the motivation is not there. The standard at this level remain a good option. Besides that the game is very pleasant and perfectly conceived. Happy gaming :)) Show less

After giving up on this type of game for a long time, now I have found this game and I am definitely stoked! The graphics, the music, the story line, the puzzles were all so well done. I thoroughly enjoyed playing! If you're kind of bored with the same old thing, this is one that should fire you up all over again.

Definitely one of the best HOG I have played, and I have hundreds from Bigfish. I played the trial and bought it before time was up. Graphics were exceptional and fun HOS. I can't wait to play the whole game. Then, I am downloading the first Spirit of Revenge game, Cursed Castle. Will probably buy that one if it's anywhere as amazing as this one.
