Paranormal Files is one of my favorite series, and I bought this one without even trying it out first. So far, I'm not disappointed. I hesitated because of all the negative comments about how difficult it is to find the collectibles, but went ahead and bought it anyway. I have had no difficulty with scenes being too dark, but then I ADJUSTED MY GAMMA HIGHER in the options before I started. This appears to be an option that few people use. I am 70 and have some vision difficulties, so I have been doing this for years. It makes a huge difference in lightening shadows without losing too much color or details with too much brightness. The brightness control does not give you the same results. So all of the complainers with "tired eyes" and who "can't see details in the shadows" only need to make one simple adjust that is available when you set your options. Show less

I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game, played it all the way through in one sitting, which is rare for me.

Then, I went into Extras so I could replay scenes to find the morphs I missed and the collectibles that slipped past my eagle eye :D Alas, if you didn't catch everything during play, you're out of luck. What a disappointment.

The devs have trained us to expect those fun replays, and though I do my best to find everything during the game, I look forward to that extra bit of hunting.

I recommend this game - just be sure to spend the extra time to find everything in the scenes and double check if you can't remember whether you did or not. Show less

Creepy things are going on at the shopping mall so who do you call to solve the problem. Well since this is another Paranormal Files game, the go to fixer is Rick Rogers.

Creepy things are going on at the shopping mall so who do you call to solve the problem. Well since this is another Paranormal Files game, the go to fixer is Rick Rogers. Paranormal Files is a great series and even though this is only the third game in the series, all of them have been excellent. Enjoy the Shopping is actually my favorite of the three games and, at least for me, it’s been a bit more fun.

The HOPS are something I found excellent in the game as the items to find were not shrouded in mist or indistinguishable. That doesn’t mean that everything is easy to find because it’s not but Elephant Games provides top-notch HOPS. The scenes are also quite interactive and some are very puzzle-like. Although HOPS are what I look forward to most in HOPA games, most of the puzzles in Enjoy the Shopping are some of my favorite types.

The gameplay is something that I also enjoy in Enjoy the Shopping. The game isn’t all about puzzles and HOPS but the storyline as well. There were a few times that I jumped a bit when something happened that I didn’t expect but these moments all add up to making this series one that I thoroughly enjoy.

With the HOPS, Puzzles, Graphics, Voices, Gameplay and Storyline this game adds up to five-stars from me. Not everyone enjoys the same things in HOPA games but for me, Paranormal Files is one that is fresh and hasn’t yet become too cookie-cutter. So if you enjoy a HOPA game that has a little bit of fright factor, then I recommend that you try the demo to see if Paranormal Files Enjoy the Shopping is a game you will enjoy. Happy gaming!

I recommend this game!

This is such a great game! Best I've played in awhile. Graphics are clear, story line holds up throughout and the morphs and collectibles are moderately hard to find.

I recommend this game!

Since when does rick know GIBBERISH language??? The scroll he was reading from was exactly English yet he was reading from it just fine!!!
Fish tank mini game.. VERY relaxing and good music....
In the beginning of the game you have to use a like 50 CARAT diamond ring to cut into the CAR....... If you found the key to start it why would you have to break in to even get in????? You wouldn't ... ACTUALLY... there was plenty of space to climb over the car and not even move it... BUT AGAIN,,,,,,, this is a game!!!
Played it twice...... Some of these REAL mini HOGS are sad with like 10 things in picture and 10 things to find.. Still enjoyed this game a lot........ Show less

I liked this game but not as good as the others in this series.
Good length to the game and the bonus chapter was longer than others I played so one does get your moneys worth.
There is a lot of items to search for but are used fairly quick.

The game is in a Mall so brought back memories of my youth working in the mall. We had a ghost in the shoe stock room but I never seen or felt it. Even had one guy get scared and quit.
Not to spooky. I don't get to many paranormal type games but do like this series for some reason.
Hard to describe the game so try the demo and if you like it to me it was the same through out the game.
Has a old time Egypt feel to it. Show less
