I was a little disappointed with the second Amaranthine Voyage, so I was a bit hesitant about getting this one. I'm glad I did! This game is full of everything you could want in an HO & Adventure game. There are various ways to find the HO's, & a huge variety of mini-games. Most of this was not a challenge, but there were a few things that threw me off. But that just made me want to keep playing ...Show more

I was a little disappointed with the second Amaranthine Voyage, so I was a bit hesitant about getting this one. I'm glad I did! This game is full of everything you could want in an HO & Adventure game. There are various ways to find the HO's, & a huge variety of mini-games. Most of this was not a challenge, but there were a few things that threw me off. But that just made me want to keep playing to see what was next.
The game has a custom setting so that the re-charge time & skip mini-game can be as long [or short] as you want.
The graphics are just amazing.
The voice overs are excellent; however the characters were a little stiff. Trust me, it's not that big of a deal.
The game is very long, so don't think you can just sit down & breeze right through this in a couple of hours.
There is a very good map [that can also be changed in the Custom mode], & that's good because there is some jumping around.
It's refreshing to have so many HOS in this game. Some are in places that you wouldn't expect.
As for re-play value, I'd put it at the top of the list. Since the story line is quite deep, one would be able to play this several times before knowing it inside out. There is also an alternative ending! Definitely.Get.This.Game!! Show less

I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this story very much. The hints were very helpful. The games were medium hard and the HO were a different mix of silluette and regular HOs . I enjoyed the riddles as well.
Overall, I feel this game had a lot of interesting elements and was long enough to warrant a purchase. The story ending room open for a sequel. The story had two choices for the heroine and that was unusual.

I recommend this game!

I JUST FINISHED PLAYING THE DEMO AND I HAVE FOUND THIS GAME TO BE A PURE DELIGHT. THE HOS WERE DIFFERENT THAN THE NORM. AND THERE WAS NOT A WHOLE LOT OF HANDHOLDING. THE DIFFICULTY CAN BE CUSTOMIZED. THE MAP IS HELPFUL AND TRANSPORTABLE. THE GRAPHICS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND THE STORY WAS FUN AND ENTICING. I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED PURCHASING THIS ONE AS A CE.

This is a very, very pretty game. A definite buy for me, although I haven't quite decided between CE and SE. Apparently there is a bonus chapter, so I'm leaning towards longer gameplay with this one. The HOS are filled with interactive objects and finish with a riddle (love it). Some of the puzzles/mini-games are confusing and weird, but most of them are entertaining.

The HOS are filled with interactive objects and finish with a riddle (love it). Some of the puzzles/mini-games are confusing and weird, but most of them are entertaining. Like I said before, graphics are super pretty and VOs are better than most of the games out there. Background music is good, not great, but not annoying. This is a great game to relax to. Show less

This is a game I played when it first came out which was a while ago because I finished the first demo and still had time left, so I went back in using another profile and played again. I don't know why I haven't bought this one yet but I probably will.

This is a game I played when it first came out which was a while ago because I finished the first demo and still had time left, so I went back in using another profile and played again. I don't know why I haven't bought this one yet but I probably will.
The graphics are pretty good and the movements are believable. Only thing I'm not crazy about are the characters. Although well drawn, they act and speak like they don't have any brain or common sense. Again no sense of urgency in any emergency. Oh well.
Story line is nice but typical, you know, only you can save the worlds etc., etc.
What I really enjoy in this game is the HO's and the mini games. I would buy this game just for those.
I recommend this for HO fans even though it isn't real intense and is more a fun type. Show less

Professor Burns is on another archeological expedition when an Energy barrier is accidentally activated. Her knowledge and expertise of ancient ruins has the situation under control in moments, but something is different about this site, it doesn't appear to be ancient at all! Once inside the site Professor Burns learns that she has entered a portal to another realm, and this world has been waiting for her a very long time! There is a prophecy in this world that one day a kind savior will use the Wayfarer's Pearl to enter the portal and save the people of Anther from the darkness that has consumed their world. The brave-hearted one will bring the pure-hearted one to save the people of Anther. Turns out that one of your assistants has been looking for this pearl as well, the brave-hearted has led you to Anther, could you be the chosen one, the pure-hearted?

I'm a bit disappointed in this Amaranthine Voyage, the graphics are blurry at times and the beginning of this game moves so slow that I had a hard time getting into the plot, but the game does pick up once you are in Anther. Some of the inventory items have a + sign indicator that requires you to either fix that item or combine it with another inventory item before it can be used.

The Hidden Object Scenes are mostly silhouetted shape matches with the final item being a brief description of that particular item. There is a Bubble Shoot game alternative that is similar to Tumblebugs, where you have a cannon that shoots bubbles of different colors (right click to swap to a different color) and you shoot the bubble at a moving line of bubbles in order to make a match of at least 3 of the same colored bubbles. As with all of the Amaranthine Voyage's, the puzzles and mini games are in abundance, such as repeating the sequences of tiles shown in a demo, or my personal favorite, using directional arrows to guide a centerpiece of a jigsaw puzzle toward surrounding outer pieces that will automatically attach to the center piece. As you add pieces to the puzzle you must make sure that there is enough room for the main puzzle to maneuver to the outer pieces or you will have to start all over.

The Collector's Edition has 41 Flowers of Remembrance to collect and they have done a very nice job concealing them. You will also find lost paintings that will allow you access to a HOP from another game, Myths of the World: Chinese Healer, Amaranthine Voyage: The Living Mountain, and Sea of Lies: Mutiny of the Heart! This Collector's Edition also has a Bonus Game, Flower Collection, Pictures, Achievements, Lore Book, Making of, Puzzles, Music, Movies, Bubble Poppers, Finding Objects and of course, a built in Strategy Guide, enjoy!
