Game Style: Emphasis on adventure style of play. Both adventure and HO are more difficult than most. Thankfully, the other puzzles are less difficult whilst still being both challenging and original.

Artwork: Top of the range graphics, good use of audio and animations to create atmosphere.

Artwork: Top of the range graphics, good use of audio and animations to create atmosphere.

Story: Variation on a familiar story, it unfolds in well-paced bite-sized chunks.

Hint Feature: Slow but useful if you use in conjunction with objectives.

Replay: You'll want to play again immediately. The HO and mini-games have random generation, there's a time score AND accuracy score, plus a bonus section that can only be accessed by a good time score.

Flaws: It's a complex puzzle from the word go, which might deter some. But definitely worth the effort of continuing.

Tips: Use your hints wisely!!! Show less

This is my kind of mystery game. It had me enthralled from start to finish,. I Just the way I like it. It kept getting better and better. Graphics are excellent. Not too many HOS but enough to keep you interested. The storyline is facinating and gives many twists and turns to keep you on your toes. I loved it. Hope there is a sequel. I'll be the 1st to buy.

Mystery Legends: The Phantom of the Opera is an interactive hidden object adventure game. It's a rough telling of the story The Phantom of the Opera. For this game, you play the daughter of the Phantom's lost love interest, and he traps you in the opera house with him. Your job is to escape this crazed ghost.

Mystery Legends: The Phantom of the Opera is an interactive hidden object adventure game. It's a rough telling of the story The Phantom of the Opera. For this game, you play the daughter of the Phantom's lost love interest, and he traps you in the opera house with him. Your job is to escape this crazed ghost.

The graphics of this game are beautifully done. I found myself stopping a lot to look around at everything. I especially liked the scenes where it was snowing. The music is nice, as befits the title. The voice-overs are very well done.

The gameplay is good. The hint button takes a long time to recharge, so it avoids the temptation of wanting to use it too much. Some of the hidden object scenes were really junk piles, with hard to see items. But, not all of them were that bad. The puzzles were fun.

Overall, I give this game five stars. I loved the eerie atmosphere, graphics, music and the voice acting. This game is really worth a try if you don't own it already. I've played it through almost two times now, and see myself playing through several more times in the future. Show less

I really enjoyed this game. It was challenging, and kept my interest.

The graphics are wonderful, the phantom voice over is terrific, the storyline is good, and the music was good but unobtrusive. The HOs were junkpiles, and I do mean junkpiles making them a little more challenging. The puzzles were good not terribly difficult, and they are skippable.

I really enjoyed this game. It was challenging, and kept my interest.

The graphics are wonderful, the phantom voice over is terrific, the storyline is good, and the music was good but unobtrusive. The HOs were junkpiles, and I do mean junkpiles making them a little more challenging. The puzzles were good not terribly difficult, and they are skippable.

There are no options for mode of play, but I don't think you need more than the one. Thankfully there is a map, because the opera house gets quite big and you use most of it as the game progresses. There is also a notebook which is very helpful in completing some of the puzzles.

I agree with others that the ending is lousy. After all my hard work, I felt this big letdown. I, too, wish I had bought the CE.

In spite of the ending, this was a good challenging and enjoyable game, therefore, I recommend this game. Show less

If you have recently played their latest release in this series, Beauty and the Beast, take a moment to explore this one. It is a fun game to play even if you are not really into HOGs as the story line is exciting and the graphics gorgeous.

DEMO REVIEW------------------

I am a huge "phan" of Phantom of the Opera, and finding this game was a HUGE relief because I love Big Fish!

Storyline: This was a better sequel than Lover Never Dies, and the twist was wickedly amusing.

Puzzles: Very, very good. Honestly, they were challenging- at an extent. Some were pretty easy, and I flew by them. Others (hidden object scenes), were difficult. Oh, also, I think every detail was perfectly placed, even just for a simple puzzle. It was all there!

Graphics: Terrific! Not a single dot was overlooked, especially the characters such as the Phantom. His entire outfit and mask, even the dark details, gave him such an intimidating and gory appearance that I personally love! The atmosphere was constructed with very dark and shadowy furnishings and architecture, how could this have once been a beautiful and lush opera house? Bravo, bravo, bravissima!

I was watching a tutorial online for the rest of this game, but why end it so abruptly? The bonus chapter was no help, just a very thin epilogue. I'm REALLY hoping for a second, maybe even just a mini game to clarify. Is she really trapped forever? Other than that, it was a very amazing game with dark graphics, beautiful voices, intriguing storyline, puzzles with the right amount of challenge (not too challenging!), and it was creepy enough to keep you playing.

I really enjoy everything about this game except for the Phantom's repeated comments and the ending. I thought the story was well done and the graphics were great. It was a challenge at times but I enjoyed that aspect of the game. Was a fun game to play.

I bought this game a while ago and revisited it yesterday. It was as enjoyable as the first time I played it. Beautiful graphics, terrific story line, moderate puzzles and length of play. It's a must have.
