Puppet Show the Arrogance Effect is game number eleven in the series. You play the game as a reporter who has picked up a prime story to investigate the mysterious disappearance of residents after a meteor strike creates a massive crater not far from the town’s center. Not only are people disappearing but those who witness the disappearances are missing as well. When you arrive in town it quickly becomes obvious that your presence isn’t wanted. Someone has ordered the hotel manager to get rid of you and your photographer immediately and to destroy any photos or evidence that you might have found since you arrived. After your photographer is kidnapped, you find yourself on a mission to save him and to find out who or what is pulling the strings to hide a secret that lies deep within the crater.
Technical aspects of the game include: Excellent graphics with beautiful hand drawn artwork. When you begin the game you get to choose your character. There are four modes of gameplay to choose including a custom mode. In the custom mode hints and skips can be set in a range of 5 to 200 seconds. An integrated map that is present when you begin the game. Yes there is a helper but I happen to like this one even though I am sure many of you will hate her squeaky little voice, I didn’t notice that she makes too many sounds during the game. I know that many of you are really tired of helpers so it is terrific that some developers offer the option to either use or not use a helper in their games. Unfortunately, you are stuck with the helper in this game.
During the demo there were only a few HOP scenes and one of them was more like a puzzle. The first HOP was a traditional list type that was slightly interactive. I have always enjoyed the HOP scenes from this developer mainly because I like their hand drawn artwork. The items were not difficult to spot although a few of them were tiny. The puzzles in the game are mostly easy but quite a bit of fun. Okay, there are some of those manual dexterity puzzles in the game that I don’t like – the ones where we must use our mouse to trace through a specific shape. Sometimes I do okay with them but I struggled with the one where I needed to mouse through a horseshoe shape so had to skip it. Because I like most of the puzzles this developer usually includes in its games I am sure there will be a good mix and something for everyone to enjoy.
If you prefer the CE version of a game this one includes: collectibles to find and achievements to earn. Other extras include the standard fare such as wallpapers, concept artwork, music, videos, a bonus chapter and a strategy guide.
Many gamers (myself included) think the Puppet Show series should have ended years ago. Even though I have been disappointed with the last several games in the series, I am always willing to give any game a try so I forged ahead and tried the demo of The Arrogance Effect. By the time the demo ended with a cliffhanger, I was so wrapped up in the gameplay that I knew I was going to hit the buy button. The storyline is interesting and even though the gameplay is fairly easy I found it very entertaining. Many of you might prefer a game that is a bit more challenging but I can still recommend the game to a variety of players from the beginners to those of us who are fairly expert at playing HOPA games. I think the game holds something for everyone and I recommend that you at least try the demo to see if Puppet Show the Arrogance Effect is a game you will enjoy. Happy gaming! Show less
I recommend this game!

Having just finished the latest (poor) Danse Macabre 8, this one is always a joy to play, beautiful like a painting and cute as a button. It starts off early, setting the tone! The tiny doll is just smashing fun! Oh wow, and what an ending! Only small downside the few wallpapers that aren't even the best ones of the game

I LOVE Puppet Show, and this latest game did not disappoint. First of all it looks great...even the icons on the difficulty option page are amazing! This series always has great attention to detail. and here you get to chose how you want your character to look. There was a good challenge level in the puzzles in the demo, and the story is fun. It is super fun that bits and pieces from earlier games ...Show more

Unfortunately, I only played the trial. I loved the storyline. However, this game is a bit different from the other Puppet Show games I have played. All of the ones I have are truer to puppet control, and this one isn't so much. So, if you are a purest about the puppet being in control, maybe skip this one. I am no purest, so I LOVED it. I will purchase it as soon as I close the review page.
I recommend this game!
