I just spent several hours saving the Children in this most delightful game. No, not that challenging adventure wise, and no, the puzzles were not difficult, but still, it was just a lovely time.

I just spent several hours saving the Children in this most delightful game. No, not that challenging adventure wise, and no, the puzzles were not difficult, but still, it was just a lovely time. Much of the artwork is quite spectacular, it didn't seem terribly repetitive, the story line was charming.

Why get the CE -- well, you will collect 6 items that give you pages from the wicked sister's diary -- a little more insight into the story, but that's not the best part. You have to find them all to get access to the ZEM area. You even have to solve 4 puzzles (they are the same, so a bit of a disappointment there) to finally get to ZEM -- so more playtime. Hard to believe this beautiful game doesn't tout it's own artwork with some CE bonus wallpapers.

ZEM -- not at all your typical match 3, and I mean not at all! It's the kind of thing you can get hooked on because you want to beat your score. So, it truly is like a full fledged second game.

My opinion is yes, the CE adds quite a bit to the game.

I have to add one more thing -- it's just a plus to me for even the standard edition of this game. The hidden object scenes -- I really admire the effort taken to truly hide some objects in the old fashioned way. You don't just wade through a junk pile; the objects blend into the scenery. Well done! Show less

I recommend this game!

I am really attracted to games with beautiful graphics and fantasy concepts. This game fits that bill as you help Anna save all of the animal guardians of the cloud city! This game was relaxing but challenging as well. The bonus game called Zem is real addicting! You'll love it.

I recommend this game!

This game is absolutely gorgeous, excites and invites the imagination to experience the blessing of its being. It's incredibly positive for adults and children, alike. A marvelous way for mother and daughter to bond and explore a beautiful, empowering, and uplifting world together. The perfect game to play when up late at night... great, too, if you're hospital bound, and long to get away in a peaceful, healing place. No other game has inspired me to review it with 15 minutes remaining in the trial. It's artfully and tastefully done. Even masterful in ways. I'd encourage everyone to at least give it a test drive. It is truly something special. The Bonus features look very promising, too. It is my honor to give this game the maximum star value. Show less

Anna awoke from a century long slumber, and discovered The Deepest Secret, in the first Empress of the Deep. Her twin sister Pandora had unrightfully claimed her position as Empress, and tricked Anna into following her directions instead of Jacobs. Pandora was evil, and she destroyed the underwater Ark, as well as herself, Anna barely escaped. Now Anna must travel to the Temple in the Sky and save the children, along with the Guardian animals that have been imprisoned by Pandora......or so she believes!

I have played hundreds of games, and there is no other game like this series, the storyline is like no other. The graphics have improved tremendously since the first Empress, which had very blurry graphics within the HOS which made some items unrecognizable. The map still has room for improvement, you cannot use the map to travel, and because there are so many paths to choose, it sometimes becomes confusing as to which way you need to go in order to complete a task. The game itself isn't difficult, but I do recommend this Collectors Edition because of the built in Strategy Guide. This game introduces us to a new feature, collecting Crystal Dolphins that flutter about in select scenes. These dolphins will give Anna a Magical Healing power, and enable her to free the Guardian Animals, a Beaver, a Sea Turtle, an Otter, a Narwhal, a Seal, a Manatee, and an Orca.

The Hidden Object Scenes are basic Listed items with no interactions available. Some items are extremely difficult to find because items are very well blended into the scenery. The Mini Games are fairly easy, there are a lot of puzzles requiring you to flip tiles over until a picture is complete, the only thing difficult, is figuring out which picture is the correct one. Some puzzles require you to direct beams of light to light up all orbs using mirrors and splitters, or connect all circuits by rotating directional paths on each tile.

In my opinion, the only valuable asset in this Collectors Edition is the built in Strategy Guide, really the only other difference is collectible diary pages belonging to Pandora which will open up bonus gameplay of an unusual Match 3 game called Zen, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

No ugly, unorganized HOS scenes; no scenes full of blood, death, snakes, beetles and insects that are repulsive; no grim, dark storyline and no retrieving so many necessary objects that you can't remember where to use them.

The story line is wholesome, full of heart, uplifting and conforms to a high moral standard. This is game programming at its best!!! Show less

Beautiful graphics, more strategy than hidden object but still one of my favourite games. Fantasy concepts and lots of running around....I found I could relax into this game but boring it certainly isn't There is also the addictive "Zen" game which kept me busy for ages. Give this one a go!

The second game of the series has Anna learning more about her past and her sister. She heads to sky and another adventure.

Beautiful artwork, a wonderful story and voice overs, the puzzles were very good, and there were even more twists!

Another great game!

Throughly enjoyed this one. Not real difficult, but not a slam dunk on being easy. The graphics were marvelous and sets you up in a fantasy world in the sky. I always think, wouldn't it be grand to have such a world. Anyways, this sequel had a great continuing story line, plenty of HOSs, and puzzles that were not brain bending. A real fine time of fantasy getaway!

This is one of the best hidden objects game I have played, and I have played many. The special effects, music, plot, and puzzles, and the total overall experience were fabulous. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys playing this type game. I am waiting patiently for the next installment.
