I have loved every single game that I have ever purchased from ERS Game Studios, and I have purchased most of them. Indeed, I do not even try them out any more; when I see something from their company for sale, I buy it.

I have loved every single game that I have ever purchased from ERS Game Studios, and I have purchased most of them. Indeed, I do not even try them out any more; when I see something from their company for sale, I buy it.

'Azado: In Libro' is beautiful in artwork and music, and though I played only on the most expert mode, it was challenging enough that I had to use my hint button a time or two... or three... to find out where I needed to go next. Playability is superb; extremely user-friendly.

I love the fact that I can print out the musical scores and play them on my piano; certainly not a typical addition to most games, CE's or not.

Keep 'em coming, ERS Game Studios, and I'll keep buying. Show less

I recommend this game!

The third in the series, this Azada although done in hidden object form keeps the same high quality puzzles that just make you want to complete them on your own without skipping. You find objects you need as opposed to junk piles and can collect things you do not need until much later on as opposed to having to trek back at the appropriate time.

The third in the series, this Azada although done in hidden object form keeps the same high quality puzzles that just make you want to complete them on your own without skipping. You find objects you need as opposed to junk piles and can collect things you do not need until much later on as opposed to having to trek back at the appropriate time. The puzzles are different to any before and not too many scenes open for examination at once. The hint system is good - it either states there is nothing to be done here or shows you where you should be looking. The graphics are beautiful and the story keeps you interested without confusing you so that you cannot remember where you are or what you are doing. Show less

Finally a fun, beautiful, and not too dark game. I am really tired of the gloomy, depressing games. This one is a joy to listen to, see and play. Puzzles are fun, sometimes a little hard..but not impossible. Thank you to the designers of this game.

So rare is it that we get two fantastic games back to back but BF, you did it right!

I must admit that I got stumped a bit here and there, kicked myself for not figuring it out, but in the end was making my way through the game and enjoying every step.

So rare is it that we get two fantastic games back to back but BF, you did it right!

I must admit that I got stumped a bit here and there, kicked myself for not figuring it out, but in the end was making my way through the game and enjoying every step.

I never came across a Hidden Object scene, which I thought that was what the game was, but I did enjoy clunking my way through a very clever adventure game. Maybe further in there are Hidden objects, don't know. I admit that because I was stumped I didn't get very far. I will as soon as I purchase the game.

I did find that the movement between scenes was really slow and opening the "diary" took a bit of time too. Those things, I feel, should be smoother. But that doesn't hamper the game play too much. In the "expert" mode you don't get the voice-over such as "I should cut this", things like that. But you can change your level at any time in the options, I like that very much. There are three levels and by being able to change you can find what works best for you.

I found the scenes were very clear. Had a good story going. And for some strange reason, you never get to see what "you", the player looks like. Usually you pass a mirror or something, this one, as far as I got, didn't. I enjoyed the game a lot and I am going to buy it and I would recommend for you to as well. Happy gaming Everyone!

This Azada, the 3rd in the series, is a sound evolution to those that went before. It is a pure Puzzle Adventure game, no Hidden Object scenes at all, which is very unusual and much appreciated. The game is comprised of searching for and collecting inventory items to solve all sorts of situations that arise, from clearing blocked paths to opening clever locks, many of the later being puzzles as well. For me the level of difficulty was just about right, enough to challenge but the solution coming pretty quickly. Perhaps a tiny bit on the easy side.
The story is minimal, just a thread to string the adventure together, but the lack of it wasn't noticeable amongst the excellent game play.
The illustration style graphics are impressive and beautifully colored. My *only* complaint was in the Widescreen Mode the image was bounded on all sides by black rather than just pillar boxing which I would expect. This is odd because the field is rectangular so it should have fit well on the orientation of wide screen monitors. Without the Widescreen Mode on some of the image was cut off.
I am pretty picky about what Collector Editions I buy. I bought this one simply because I did not want to wait to keep playing it after trying the demo and I was sorry to see it end when completed. Azada: In Libro is a wonderful game that I would place on a favorites list. Show less

Loved that it was more an adventure puzzle game than finding hidden objects in a cut away scene. I also loved that the screen was not too dark as in many HOG's. The story kept my interest and the puzzles were really good, not too hard, nor too easy. I really enjoyed this game and do recommend it.

Story: Well here is where I have a problem. The story is your typical save the wrold theme. My problem is it ended too abruptly. How can I describe this.... Hmmmm... picture yourself watching the first Lord of the Rings movie but not knowing the story continues and it just ends but you know the main character did not complete his mission. That is what happened here. Logically I know there is more but it ended so abruptly my head is STILL spinning!
Otherwise it really is a great game and worth playing Show less

An excellent game with no H.O's, its an all puzzle game with beautiful art work, graphics. The puzzles were interesting and able to do without resorting to the skip button, so the game was a long one if you spend the time on completing the mini games yourself.

The artwork was so good, in some scenes, especially the one by the river, it felt like you were actually there with the background sound effects as well; an excellent game that is best played at leisure to take in all the beautiful scenes.
