fromChapters are divided to play different storylines. I love a game that does that. Also great for all ages I think.

****************MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*******************

The SE portion of the game took me around 5, 20min.
The bonus play took me, 1hr 30min Total gameplay 6 hr. 10min --I took off 40min for a mini-game I had trouble on.
The first thing I need to address is how beautifully done the characters were in this game. Instead of talking from the side of the screen with text, they have a moment of 3d while they come close to the for-front and they look so real as they talk. It was perfectly done.
The cut scenes and graphics are also clear, crisp and have gorgeous effects & deep, rich color.
You play first in the present, then you have a time device that sends you for a chapter or so in Rome, then a chapter or so in Medieval times and the final portion of the standard portion of the game -they call it the Renaissance-- but it is actually a beautiful place with floating “animal islands” in the sky.
Chapters in Rome were a reddish hue, while chapters in medieval times were tones of teal & blue. The final area of SE play has gorgeous pinks and natural tones.

Chapter 4 has a storyline twist I was not a fan of. The SE portion ends quickly and leaves you hanging. Bonus play does not really completely answer or help this ending either as it is entirely another subject altogether. All of the Bonus play takes place in the future.... 2029, I believe.

You play 12 brand new areas in bonus. There were 10 more mini games and 5 HOS.
I have to admit, I wasn't a huge fan of the bonus level...as I prefer to play in outdoor areas and this entire level is inside.

You STOP collecting items at the end of the SE. So there are no more collectibles in the bonus play.
The game has a diary, a great portal task map, and a helpful step by step hint. Different to the inventory is a TIME DEVICE that will bring you to other locations as well as speeding up and slowing down time.

There is EVERY type of Hidden object scene is this game....we have morphs, lists, silhouettes, collecting more than 1 item, multiple step scenes...and this DEV is trying to cater to all of us.

CE goodies are:
19 wallpapers that save to doc file. You can replay 19 HOS & 12 mini games. Love a HO game that actually has more HOS then MG., 12 concept art, a statue page- for one of the collectibles, a puzzle pc page which looks like a stained glass window --- I was 1 piece off at the end of the game so I don't know if this does anything once you complete the puzzle, or not.
Bonus play took me 1 ½ hrs. There is a 12 question test to determine what age in history you might fit into. There is an Achievement and Artifact –showing more collectibles pgs. as well.
There is an in game 50pg walkthrough guide that I used several times to progress. To give you an idea of how long the bonus play is, CHAPTER 1 IS 8 PGS. BONUS CHAPTER IS 13PGS.

All in all I really liked this game. I am glad I purchased the CE. Enjoy the hours you spend in another place in history! Show less

I can tell within the first few minutes of any game whether or not it is for me..it either grabs me...or I don't even continue to see if it gets any better. This is one of the ones that grabbed me immediately. Give it a try...see if it grabs you too! It is interesting from the very beginning.

Everything about this game is perfect! I enjoyed it so very much that I played it 3 times....as well as the bonus game!
I have a suggestion for the dev's. Why not have the option to go back into the game to search for things we've missed...for example puzzle pieces...or collection items and so forth. I played a game recently that had this feature. I liked it! More fun! Just an idea.

Well, it should come as no surprise that once again you play a game as a detective. This time you receive an alarming call from the director of the agency who needs your help when your friend and colleague, Peter, disappeared shortly after he searched the archives to locate several items that the agency classified as extremely dangerous. What was Peter searching for and why? After arriving at Peter’s home you come face to face with him when he goes on a rampage and tries to kill you. What has happened and why has Peter turned into a madman? Changing the Past is a very good game that allows you to travel to different times and places as you try save Peter, undo the damage he has caused, and figure out why his fiancé is pretending to be terminally ill, which is what started him on this path of destruction.

Changing the Past is a game that offers almost everything I look for that, at least for me, makes a game one that I will enjoy. It has excellent graphics that are very sharp and crystal clear. I like the intense color palette the artists used to create the graphics much more than I do those in a game where everything is pink, purple and blue. The lip-synced voiceovers are generally very good, but there is one that could have been better. The game offers four modes of gameplay including a Custom Mode so you have the option to set up gameplay for the way you like to play. The full game includes 5 chapters plus the bonus game.

Your tools include an interactive map and a watch that allows you to turn back time so that you can avoid dangerous situations.

The HOPS are varied with some interaction required to find a few of the items. The scenes were well-crafted and most of the items were fairly easy to find even though some of them were very well hidden. Most of the HOPS were slightly interactive and it wasn’t difficult to figure out what items needed to be used and where in order to complete the scene. There is one HOP where we need to find all of the morphing objects in order to open the list of items to be found.

Even though the puzzles were nothing I haven’t seen before, I still enjoyed them. There was one puzzle early in the game though that really made me very dizzy as I tried to grab the speeding letters as they went flying by. I almost skipped that one but did make it through without too much trouble. That particular puzzle might be difficult for anyone who suffers from vertigo so you might want to skip it. I am sure you will know the puzzle I am referring to as soon as you see it. A puzzle I loved involves restoring a map, but it is not as easy as it seems since it becomes progressively more difficult with each level.

The CE content includes collectibles to find - figurines, artifacts and puzzle pieces. There are also achievements to earn and the other standards that we find in most CE games that include bonus gameplay, a strategy guide, replay of HOPS and mini-games, wallpapers, concept art, and music. Overall it is a decent CE package.

Although I did not care for the last game in the Labyrinth series, this one is a vast improvement. I generally like games from this development team and find that in general they present a bit more challenge that is something most of us want in HOPA games. Not everyone will like this game as much as I do but I think it is excellent as I am enjoying the storyline and gameplay. There is the mystery of Debby and why she is faking her illness – or is she? My recommendation is that you try the demo to see if Labyrinths of the World Changing the Past is a game that you will also enjoy. Show less

Go back in time to three different places in the main game which has five chapters. The bonus chapter was a surprise going into the future. The Spybot is cute.

Replay 19 hops, 12 mini-games and 5 music. 19 wallpaper and 12 concept art. Find 18 artifacts, 41 puzzle pieces and 15 statuettes.

Graphics amazing
Story fantastic, with an unexpected turn around!
The music drove me nuts, so I turned that off, then all was good.
One of the puzzles drove me crazy, but all was good in the end.
I'm glad I bought the C/E, because it finished the story off.
And when you think the story has ended, it takes you to a different world, fantastic.
