I understand that everyone does not enjoy the same type of game, but honestly, I do not understand why the bad reviews for a game that is pretty much what it has always been. I knew what this game was when I bought it, and sure enough, that is exactly what it is.
I played this morning for almost two hours, and had so much fun with it! When it began, I was worried that my favorite villain, St Germaine, would not be in it. Not to worry, at the unexpected moment, when the hood was dropped and the face revealed, it was none other than his evil self! He is so funny that I cannot help but laugh when he gets mad and growls!
I love the beautiful art work done by this group, I enjoyed the puzzles and different styles of hidden object scenes, thought the background music score was very good, and found the character voices to show excellent strength. Can't wait to continue game play and hear St. Germaine growl and grunt his anger! The hidden collectibles were easy enough to find without having to seek out the Strategy Guide (thank you, devs!)
If you enjoy playing a classic adventure by a talented development team, at least please give this game a trial run. I found it to be a lot of fun! RECOMMENDED! Show less
I recommend this game!

I played the entire demo and enjoyed it. I always play on the easiest level because I want to be entertained, not harassed. I found the puzzles and hidden object scenes to be interesting and different. The storyline was cohesive and easy to follow. The dwarf at the end didn't upset me at all because I have no previous bias against him.
Give it a try!

Not sure why so few good reviews early on but this is a fun game with great graphics. It is a mix of puzzle and hidden object. A lot more fun than the trend of insane asylums or super fear factor games.
I recommend this game!

I really liked this game. My only problem is with the collectibles. No indictor for the collectible puzzle pieces. I found 51 out of 52 puzzle pieces and instead of them letting you retrieve that piece you have a message " There is no place for lazy ones". I paid for this game!

Also you collect Zodiac crystals. You would think Tarsus would have a Emerald, but no it was a Blue Axe Stone

I really liked this game. My only problem is with the collectibles. No indictor for the collectible puzzle pieces. I found 51 out of 52 puzzle pieces and instead of them letting you retrieve that piece you have a message " There is no place for lazy ones". I paid for this game!

Also you collect Zodiac crystals. You would think Tarsus would have a Emerald, but no it was a Blue Axe Stone Crystal. Never heard of it! Or a Cairngorm Crystal. I would stop and read each one but the last one and some I think are made up. The last one was orange and you could not read about it. I know all the traditional monthly stones and these don't match up.
Needless to say I played it again just to get the 52 puzzle pieces to play the jigsaw. It would be nice to have the option to replay the jigsaw over and over once you found all the pieces but you can not. I tried again to read the last crystal's name and info but you can not.
I do have to say I enjoyed the game the second time. I would have loved this game if I didn't have a hard time with the collectibles. Especially the lovely creative hops. Nice story and gameplay. Good balance.
Replay 13 beautiful hops, 13 mini-games, 8 movies and 4 music. You have 6 wallpapers and a beautiful hops for a screensaver. Collect 52 morphing puzzle pieces and 12 Zodiac crystals. Show less
I recommend this game!
