I purchased the CE when that came out so my review here is based on that. The game has 6 chapters and I have listed the CE extras at the very end of my review.

I purchased the CE when that came out so my review here is based on that. The game has 6 chapters and I have listed the CE extras at the very end of my review.

GAME FEATURES:
Game opened in widescreen for me
Inventory locks
Choice of cursors
Transporter map that you get a little into the game.
Journal: Has your tasks and notes to help you along.
4 modes of play including Custom which I found to be a little different here though. You get .the choice of how your Hint works. You can have it tell you exactly what to do or just give you a nudge along. No sparkles. Modes of play can be changed during play as well as Custom choices.

HOS; Interactive word list with some puzzles thrown in. Graphics nicely done here. I enjoyed these. I had no difficulty finding/doing anything.

PUZZLES/MINI GAMES: I'm not a fan. Less the better. Has nothing to do with being too hard or too easy I'm just not a puzzle/mini game person for the most part. Having said this: These varied in challenge for me. I did skip a few of these. Some the usual run of the mill with a different twist on them to fit the theme of the game (Mexican festival) and a few I haven't seen before. There's also an info button and some have a reset button on them. The skip is very quick on charge up in custom mode.

VISUAL/SOUND QUALITY: I really LOVED the graphics. Vibrant, colorful. The Mexican festival theme. These displayed just stunning, crisp and clear on my computer screen. They fit the game here right along with the characters/voices that are very well done - Latino accents.

LEVEL OF CHALLENGE: I played the custom mode and loved it. Game play for me was pretty easy for the most part right along with the "adventure" side though not always linear. The skulls while I located them all I didn't think they were always easy to locate. The morphing flowers I didn't have any trouble locating these

STORY LINE: I was so engrossed in this game. I was hooked to this from the get go and held my interest to the end. Some twist and turns to the story. This was also well integrated into the game play. The main game also came to a conclusion for me. I didn't feel the bonus chapter was needed. Bonus chapter is a new story that stands on its own and has different characters to the main game. All new locations. None are from the main game. I enjoyed this as well though and was surprised by the ending though it does come to conclusion.

MY PLAY TIME: Main game 3 hours. Bonus Chapter 1 hour and 15 minutes. May be more or less for you of course. I didn't use any hints, map or strategy guide but I did skip some of the puzzles as I said. Game length was just fine and right for me. I don't need for a game to go on for many hours.

FUN FACTOR: While this game was pretty easy for the most part this was a breath of fresh air for me and fun compared to what Big Fish has been releasing lately. A HUGE KUDOS to you here Gunnar Games: While I encountered a few animals very briefly but NONE of them became my helpers for the game along with NO fairies, NO purple and pink hazy/foggy graphics. I also had no tech issues.Overall 5 stars from me. Thanks Gunnar Games and Big Fish for a great game..

CE EXTRAS:
Bonus Chapter
Strategy Guide
16 Achievements
25 Skulls
25 Morphing Flowers
6 Wall Papers
9 Concept Art Show less

I recommend this game!

Really loved this game! It is colorful with an wonderful storyline of an Mexican legend about a women married to a cheating husband who runs off with another woman taking his children with him. She in total desolation walks into the river. Then returns to take the village children. A yearly festival takes place each year to please the ghost from taking the children but still they disappear. You are a reporter trying to prove or disprove the legend.
Graphics are vibrant and voice overs very good on cut scenes. A nice change from the dark and gloomy games.
You do get a map that lets you teleport from one scene to another.
Hint button when you are stuck is helpful.
Three options for play mode.
HOS scenes are fairly easy and interactive with some having mini puzzles within them.
Other mini puzzles range from fairly easy to difficult and I did skip on a few.
Good game for a beginner at casual level or a more experienced player in the harder modes. Show less

I grew up hearing stories about the "Crying Woman". What a delight to see the color and brightness that I have long sought in games right here on Big Fish! Loved the artwork, authentic designs and familiar legends in the story. The games were challenging and the HOPs were unique! A challenging, enjoyable, one of a kind game. Thanks!

I recommend this game!

I really liked this game. I wish there were more about Mexico. The scenes were bright, colorful and pretty. I get pretty tired of the dark, depressing rainy gothic all-in-the-castle games. I´ve done tons of them. These games were different too. Fun game.

I recommend this game!

This was a really fun game to play. I absolutely loved the vivid colors, especially throughout the town where they are getting ready for the coming festival.

Most of the mini-games were very unique. Some of them were not too hard but most made me think--just like I want them!!

The storyline--FANTASTIC!!!! A detective story with a little bit of the paranormal thrown in. (A ghost) I knew it was possible to make a fun game without all the witches, demons, vampires and other dark entities and this game is it!! I actually took the time to follow the storyline and was intrigued by it.

This is one of a handful of games I have played that I didn't want it to come to an end. I was having a great time playing and enjoying the scenery along the way. The dry humor that showed up now and then was very pleasant also. I wish more games were like this one!! I'm looking forward to playing this one again! Going on my top 10 games list--maybe even the top 5! (Out of 400 or more games I have played so far) Show less

I just love the story line. It is about the Weeping Woman coming to steal the children of a Mexican town because she had lost her 2 children to her husband long ago, as when he left her, he took them to raise with his new woman. She killed herself from the grief. Now in the present day, children are disappearing and the town folk think she has come back to exact vengeance.

I LOVED the beautiful town, the awesome characters, the graphics were gorgeous, voice overs were great as they had Mexican accents, the game play was a lot of fun. I couldn't wait to get into scene after scene as the game progressed, so that I could see how beautiful each would be.

I highly recommend this game! Show less

I have gotten so bored with the same old games and either get stuck right away or they are too easy. This one was engaging.
I couldn't stop playing. Had to buy it. I recommend this game.
