This is a great game! Fun factor was reduced due to many mini games. At one point, there were four-four!-in a row. Be sure to play in Custom Mode if you dislike mini games as much as I do.

I recommend this game!

So Happy to see this game offered this morning.
This is a no brainer. An instant buy.
I honestly thing Big Fish has come back to us and I am so very happy. For us old timers, I own most games so this was a great surprise for me this morning.
Beautiful game. Graphics are what they used to be. Details are there. Just buy it.

I recommend this game!

As I named above, I liked the first one better. That being said, I did enjoy this game, the extra's were really well hidden for the most part, the bust's were east but puzzle piece's were very well blended into the scenes, at least for me. At the end of both games you can go back and get the ones you missed. I missed some because you can suddenly get taken to a new world by reaching for the item that takes you away before getting the collector item. I wasn't upset by the extra game as another player was, but that could just be me, if you are unsure you could look at at a walk through before purchasing. I would not say that it is not for children either, if anything it just reinforces not to be unkind as a child. It wasn't as sad as, say, Oliver twist. or Annie so if that helps, get the CE! As for length, it felt like the normal for me, the extra story might have been a little short but I did get this for the BOGO sale so I didn't feel cheated. As always, check out the trial. Show less

I felt this was better than the Victorian Story, just based on the demo. I thought the demo was quite good, filled with activities, characters, storytelling and tasks that were not all of the usual type. The pace was great and before I knew it time was up! That very rarely happens for me, so I expect this to be a fun adventure! Sunnyglow mentions that the game is short, so I'll just wait for the SE whenever available at a sale price.

I didn't bother searching for collectibles, to save time. I did earn 5 achievements and accidently hit on several of the busts, didn't actually see them, but that was all a good thing! Many of the areas in every scene were quite dark, had I been looking for the collectibles it would have been frustrating and I would have given up. However, the graphics were very nice, characters looked great and voices were appropriate for each. The locations weren't terribly busy so the visuals were pleasant to look at.

Every puzzle and HOP was fun for me even with them being easy, a couple were too much so. I really liked the puzzles, more creatively designed than the HOPs. There was a lot of reading with all the notes/letters hidden away in little cubbyholes. Also a good amount of dialogue but I felt it was important not to skip as it held little clues about what was upcoming and also contained a couple of items I needed in my inventory.

There were just enough puzzles and HOPs to satisfy me and I was not bored at any time during the demo. I don't believe the CE is essential unless you just can't do without the collectibles, especially if it is, in deed, a short game. I am a Muskateers fan so I hope this game turns out to be a good choice Show less

I recommend this game!

Um, not my cup of tea I guess. I liked the first one by far. This one is hard to understand. Most of the time I didn't know what was going on. The puzzles were good and the collectables were not too hard to find with a hand full I could not find.

At least on my computer, the mouse moves at a snail's pace. It might be a wonderful game if I could at least play it. I've tried not going full screen, and that didn't help. Any ideas on how to fix that? I want to play it.

REVIEW BASED UPON THE ENTIRE GAME
3 Chapters Plus a Bonus Chapter – Strategy Guide: 42 pages

Join Megan Webster, Senior Librarian, on another adventure through the world of books. Someone is trying to rewrite the Dumas classic, “The Three Musketeers.” That evildoer is scratching out the name of Charles D’Artagnan, an aspiring Musketeer from the novel. Answer the question as to who is behind this and why are they doing this. Joining Megan in her pursuit will be her sidekick and friend, Elgin, and Tom Sawyer. Megan will enter the book as Charles D’Artagnan, Help Megan locate the evildoer trying to rewrite the Dumas classic while saving Queen Ann from the dire consequences of a romantic dalliance. Restore the classic to its original content and help D’Artagnan earn the status necessary to become a Musketeer.

I loved the main game and hated the bonus chapter. If I had any knowledge of what the bonus chapter entailed, I would have waited for the standard edition of this game. I would have recommended this game as a family friendly one; however, some of the content is adult fare, especially within the bonus chapter. This is a short game; however, the main game is an excellent, fast-paced whodunit chock full of activities.

The game follows the same format as Elephant’s other games. The graphics are excellent and there are some incredibly beautiful HOP scenes in this game. Collect statues of famous writers and gather puzzle pieces to play a jigsaw puzzle hidden within the Secret Room. If the player misses any of the collectibles, they can search for them in the Expedition Room upon completion of the game. I found the statues easy to locate but thought the puzzles pieces were hard to find, blending well into the scene.

There are twenty-one (21) mini-games and eighteen (18) HOP scenes plus four (4) mini-HOP scenes with six items to locate. I found the mini-games easy, some of them too easy for my taste. The HOP scenes are varied and some of them are creatively designed. I thought the scene which has the player treading through a forest, stopping at each exclamation point to locate objects was very creatively designed. The scenes include lists of items and silhouette items, as well as matching, spot the differences, scene fragments, and one in which items are placed into the correct position within a scene.

BONUS CHAPTER: Prepare to meet Cicero as he gives you a guided tour in the World of Sorrows. I disliked this chapter. I found this chapter depressing, confusing and strange. Snakes? Yep, round up those dark slithering critters hanging around your soul. Bet you never guessed you might have one residing inside your body. Join Elgin as he relives his tragic childhood upon the death of his father. I found the chapter became darker, morose, and confusing toward the end. If you like psychoanalyzing your childhood or lack thereof, then you will love this chapter. However, if you are not into psychobabble, then perhaps just purchase the standard edition of the game. There are five (5) HOP scenes, one mini-HOP scene, and six mini-games. I felt this chapter was tacked onto this game and someone’s attempt at psychoanalysis.

MECHANICS:

• Four (4) levels of play including a customized version.
• 21 achievements.
• Collect busts of 12 famous writers.
• Collect 24 puzzle fragments to complete a puzzle upon the completion of the game. The puzzle is hidden within the Secret Room.
• Collectibles which are missed during game play can be collected within the Expedition Room upon completion of the game.
• 5 Wallpapers along with music selections.
• Replay 14 HOP scenes and 13 Minigames.

SPOILERS: HERE ARE SOME OF THE MINI-GAMES AFTER THE DEMO:

A. Map puzzle. Move through a path on a map eliminating obstacles by choosing between 2 items.
B. Switch puzzle. Switch two triangular tiles next to each other until an image is created.
C. Assembly puzzle. On a chessboard, place chess pieces into position on a chessboard as per a given set of instructions.
D. Switch puzzle. Switch 4 colored lights on a star so each light is next to its same-colored area.
BONUS CHAPTER:
E. Assembly puzzle. Place the 3 family dolls into the proper position to hear a story about Elgin’s childhood. 3X
F. Picture puzzle. Drag fragments onto a picture grid to create a picture. 4X
G. Matching puzzle. Cleanse your energy wave. Match up snakes to those within a scene. Show less
