I absolutely loved this beastly edition of Living Legends! Lately, these games have bored me, either during the demo, or a couple of chapters afterwards, either the story is lame or the tasks are so repetitious that I don't want to continue, but I found myself thoroughly enjoying both the storyline and the tasks. The graphics are beautiful and this is just a fantastic fairytale, one that I'm looking forward to finishing.

Rosabella and Emily Dorner are identical twins who have pursued unidentical lifestyles. Rosabella is a talented musician, Emily chases down Living Legends, but Emily never dreamed she'd have to save her own sister from a Living Legend! The entire town of Bremen, where Rosabella was performing with three other musicians, has been transformed into beasts by the Mistress of the fog. It doesn't take Emily long to figure out that the musicians are the key to everything, but can Emily resist the fog long enough to save her sister?

Each scene has a Morphing Object and a Paper Doll Collectible, and although the cursor doesn't change, they aren't very challenging to find which is my only disappointment in this game. You will eventually find an amulet that can neutralize the dark magic curse, and naturally you have to play a Mini Game before using it.

The Hidden Object Scenes are indeed basic, with only two different types offered, Interactive List finds and finding 12 Musical Notes. I really don't care about varieties, I actually prefer the interactive list finds.

The Mini Games are very doable, but that doesn't matter to me either, easy doesn't mean its not fun. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Move blocks to allow the key to enter the lock.in a "blocks" game variation.

2) Recreate the face by swapping tiles then place the magicians where they belong.

3) Restore the key by selecting tiles until the correct image is shown.

4) Restore the fresco by swapping two free tiles and then select the button to change which tiles are covered by moss to complete.

5) Block the cats path on a honeycomb grid to surround him.

6) Remove all tiles from the board by dragging a line of at least 3 identical tiles to remove, repeat 3 different levels.

This Collector's Edition has 22 Achievements to earn, 10 Wallpapers, 4 Screensavers, 12 Concept Art pictures, 25 Collectible Paper Dolls, 25 Morphing Objects, 5 Music Soundtracks, 35 Videos, 21 replayable Mini Games, 16 replayable Hidden Object Scenes, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy!

I recommend this game!

Beasts of Bremen is game five in the Living Legends series, a series that I have found very enjoyable over the years. As with any series there are often a few misses along the way but Beasts of Bremen is a beautiful and excellent game. Although the game might appeal to children, I think it is perfect for experienced gamers who love a well-told storyline and creativity in their games. Beasts of Bremen is, IMHO, the perfect game to chase away those winter doldrums with its gorgeous graphics and light-hearted gameplay.

In this latest game in the Living Legends series you are on a mission to save your sister who has been cursed and trapped in the city of Bremen where she and other top musicians were invited to perform in the Bremen Music Festival. What a prestigious event and to be chosen to perform is indeed an honor. Something has gone terribly wrong and now the musicians are missing and fighting off the curse that is turning them into beasts. As you piece together the mystery you find that music is somehow the key to banishing the fog and fighting the curse. Will you be able to save Rosabella and the citizens of Bremen before it is too late?

You have an interactive transporter type map that is present when the game begins. A great thing about the map in the game, aside from allowing quick movement between scenes, is that it indicates where collectibles have not yet been found. If you happen to love finding all of the collectibles in a game you will certainly find the map very helpful.

As I have said many times the list style HOS are my favorite and I have been thrilled to find that most of the HOS are in this style. Most of the HOS are interactive, include puzzles, and are simply fun to play. I prefer not having to figure out what some dark blob in an item list might represent when finding objects. The HOS themselves have beautiful hand-drawn graphics and some well-hidden objects to find. The puzzles are very good although some might be easy. One of my favorite puzzles is found early in the game when we must place tokens in the correct place to create the scene. The trick is to find out where the tokens can be moved so they are not hidden by moss as you solve the puzzle. There is nothing extremely difficult early in the game but I know that developers often throw in the more challenging puzzles as the game progresses. Maybe some gamers who dislike puzzles in their games will find that they enjoy many of those found in Beasts of Bremen.

The CE version of the game has two types of collectibles to find – Paper Dolls and then others that are morphing objects. There are 22 achievements to earn as you play through the game. The other extras include Wallpapers, Screensavers, Concept Artwork, Music, Videos, Replay of HOPS and Puzzles, an in-game Strategy Guide and the Bonus game. Given the gorgeous graphic many of you will want to have the screensavers and wallpapers. I find this a very good package of extras and think the CE is an excellent value.

Living Legends Beasts of Bremen is destined to become one of my favorite games and one that I will enjoy playing more than once. Recently I have been going back into my gaming library and playing some older games that I enjoyed at one time or another and now Beasts of Bremen will be added to my favorites list. We have another rainy day here and nothing is better than playing a game that is creative and lovely. Please try the demo to see if you will enjoy the game as well. Show less

I recommend this game!

First, the graphics are so good; loved all of them. The HOs are creative and fun; the story is captivating and the mini games are entertaining. The voice overs are good, except for maybe the sister, who kind of has a voice that's been exposed to helium.
Lots to do and very fun!
I highly recommend this one. Show less

My review is based on the trial of the CE. I have played all the games in the Living Legends series and I thought this was a great addition. I loved the story line and have no complaints about the graphics. If you are a fan of the series I would definitely recommend this game! I absolutely loved the trial and will purchase the full game.

I recommend this game!

I enjoyed the graphics -- totally beautiful; the storyline is awesome, it kept my interest; the navigation was good and the HOP were nice, enjoyed do those too. The puzzles were interestingly enough to make me keep trying until I got them --great feeling. Judging from the demo, I geniunely like this game and I am most certainly going to purchase this game.

This is the 5th installment of the "4 Friends" Living Legends series! They took the World by surprise in 2012 with the snowy ground-breaking ICE ROSE, which is 1st in this incredible series. Now in Beasts of Bremen you are introduced to twin sisters and you take the role of Emily who goes after the living legends. The other one is Rosabella. She is a talented musician with a totally different life. In this episode the two sisters come together to enjoy a big city music festival, where Rosabella is honored to perform. It is a big deal for the sisters, but the joy and festivities are gone when an ominous magic fog comes into town and transforms the whole town into animals. Animals which have been cursed into the form of dolls and given to each of the musicians and they subsequently become cursed. The musicians have always been able to keep the fog out of Bremen by playing their music but that's about to end and Rosabella is kidnapped leaving you with the mysterious task of figuring out what to do next in this tantalizing tale. It quickly turns into another case for Emily where she has no doubt that she needs to deal with another living legend. Is it a Mistress of fog who is behind it all or will your suspicions rise regarding Rosabella? Emily can not resist the fog forever. She has to hurry to find Rosabellla and help the town to go back to its normal state. Hence, your mission is to stop this evil and save your sister, as well as make the festival happen. The game's graphics are beautiful and fitting for the time and place. The scenes are colorful but with a feel of dark magic in them. The festival details add another interesting kick to the locations of the town of Bremen. This Collector's Edition offers all the things you would expect. You are going to play many hidden object scenes, most of which lean toward interactive lists. Then there are mini-games, some of which are rather easy, but it always depends on the skills of a player. Some of both of there and available for replay! Players of ALL levels can enjoy this edition. Search every scene for a morphing object and a collectible paper doll. To add more challenge, there are 22 achievements that you can earn and a whole lot of media extras to enjoy when you are done (concept art, wallpapers, music etc). But it's not the end when you are done with this story. There is a Bonus game with another interesting adventure! This edition isn't like the acclaimed ICE ROSE. It's not the winter adventure of FROZEN BEAUTY with snow white and her nemesis the queen. It's not WRATH OF THE BEAST when you helped Goldilocks defeat those magic infused man-bear creatures or BOUND BY WISHES where saving souls and making dreams come true came with a hefty price. It is an awesome adventure nonetheless and one I am glad I added to complete the series. Demo this one and keep in mind that the real adventure lies beyond the demo play and the ominous fog is just a small aspect of a much more intricate and unique story...... Show less
