Amazing intro/ cutscenes, brilliant and detailed graphics, very well animated characters/ creatures. Story is breathtaking: Giant snakes are going to destroy the world. Again the house of 1000 doors with its inhabitants are requesting your abilities, to defeat the Evil. Soon you’re advised to enter 4 Portals to change the past and save the future…

Facts: 6 chapters plus bonus-chapter, 2 modes to choose from, 40 beyond objects to find, interactive map showing you areas with available action and the location of beyond objects (you have the option to deactivate this help), direction giving hint (refills in 30 sec./ casual mode and in 60 sec./ expert mode), strategy guide doesn’t follow your progress. Detailed journal

Lots of hidden object scenes: slightly interactive from list and those, where you place items into the scene. You will also solve several interesting, some brandnew and not too challenging minigames.

Important extras: Bonus-chapter, 40 beyond objects (for each 10 found, a puzzle is unlocked), replayable minigames.

This really is a high recommendable Collector’s Edition! :) Show less

I recommend this game!

I was apprehensive that this was a House of 1000 Doors game, which I absolutely love, because the description of the game made it sound like only the title was being used without regard to having the House in site. I was gladly wrong.

This time you are inside the House, which is the only place on earth which is able to protect itself from the flames and demon snakes taking over the earth. The House decides which doors you can enter and exit and it was a surprise when a couple unexplicable poofed into whispy poofs.

A skillful story - a bit more complicated than the other Houses in that you have been brought into the house by a stranger who became unconscious. And you can't go outside without becoming a victim of the disaster devouring the people out there. Who is he? How did he know to bring you to the House? There are a lot of places to go - including outside. Although the House can protect it's own outside premises, we find out that it has more than a garden.

The HOS are brilliantly detailed and colorful. But adventure is the majority of gameplay. So there are also a lot of things to do, which can be done in whatever order you want in the carefully crafted environments. Puzzles are varied in type and in difficulty, but don't seem to be impossible to old hands to HOGs.

There are 40 beyond objects and a bonus chapter. Two modes of play. This certainly joins my other House games - too bad I have them, because then I could get them all on a great sale. Show less

I recommend this game!

-4 puzzles and 24 minigames.
-40 beyond objects to find (yea!!)
I just thoroughly enjoyed this game. Some are too tedious or have too many HOS, but this one was just right.
-great collectors edition value.
Highly recommend not missing this one!! Show less

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the series, or new to it.

As much as I love to see snakes as the antagonists of a series or games, this definitely reach the top of my charts!!! Give it a shot, this game gives you the thrill and sense of urgency to save the world from being destroyed. You are the hero or heroin in this case. Good game indeed!!!!

I recommend this game!

The House of 1000 Doors series has been a favorite of mine and has never let me down with the previous releases: Family Secrets and the Palm of Zoroaster. With the addition of Serpent Flame, this series just keeps getting better and better, which I didn't think possible.

The graphics are, as my review title states, is absolutely stunning and gorgeous with its high definition clarity. Usually when I play a game I don't take all that much time to really enjoy looking over every inch of the particular scene that I am in, unless I'm looking for morphing objects or other hidden goodies for achievements. However, this game and a small handful of others, I really did enjoy taking my time to really take in all of the splendid, crystal clear graphics. House of 1000 Doors: Serpent Flame really is an exceptionally beautiful game. Another feature that made me enjoy this game is the beautiful and sometimes haunting music that really sets the tone for each scene and in particular the entire game. I have a 7.1 speaker system, so I am completely immersed in the sound and the composition of the graphics, sound effects and music allowed me to thoroughly enjoy the entire gaming experience.

The challenging nature of the hidden-object scenes, mini-games and puzzles were varying in difficulty as you progress. Which is something I always enjoy when the creators slowly build up the pressure, as well as throwing in a few quite challenging puzzles a little bit earlier in the game which really put my problem solving thought process in the right state of mind. Another feature that I enjoyed was the morphing objects that are in each scene, some being quite obvious and others, a little later in the game does take some time to find. But as I've stated previously, each scene is rendered so beautifully you won't find it being a chore to find them, at least that wasn't the case for me. Lastly, I am quite happy that the creators allow you to use a map to jump from one scene to the next without having to constantly travel back and forth which can be time consuming and a bit tedious at times. They also show you on the map where you whether or not a particular scene has any morphing objects or not, another nice feature if you want to complete your achievements.

I'm not going to dwell too much on the storyline, because let's face it, out of the hundreds and hundreds of games, they all have a "save the world" theme. But I did enjoy the giant serpents bursting from the bowels of the earth, because the animation is stunning in its beauty!

Well, there you have it folks. If you happened to enjoy the previous two House of 1000 Doors games, then you will NOT be disappointed with this one. If you happen to be new to the series, (which I would find shocking!) you can't go wrong with starting with this one and then playing the previous two. However, I would suggest playing them in sequence so you can fully understand the main character and the progression she goes through.

Give the demo a try and by the time the demo runs out, you'll be adding this to your cart and purchasing the entire game because it IS that amazing of a game. Good luck and enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is the first review I have wrote for a game. I think this is an extremely fun game! It reminds me of the game Forbidden Secrets: Alien Town in the way it is set up. They do stick to the 1000 doors story line, but if you are new to the series (like me), it is not too hard to follow.

This is the first review I have wrote for a game. I think this is an extremely fun game! It reminds me of the game Forbidden Secrets: Alien Town in the way it is set up. They do stick to the 1000 doors story line, but if you are new to the series (like me), it is not too hard to follow. The graphics are beautiful, I usually turn down the music so I can not speak for that, but the fun factor is definitely there. I love the way that you are able to see yourself interact with the other people in the scenes. The CE version is worth the $$ this time with 40 morphing objects to find, after each 10 they open up a new puzzle, then you have slightly interactive HO scenes, the puzzles are good (some are pretty challenging), and then as I've said the beautiful changing scenery as you go from portal to portal to try and save the world. There are 6 chapters and a bonus chapter. Happy gaming! Show less

Near-perfect game, and certainly best in the series. Excellent graphics, music and storyline. Admittedly, it's heavy on the snake theme, but I wasn't repulsed by the snakes at all; they actually managed to make them somehow very beautiful, even though they are the villains in this story.

In the HOG scenes you are either to find objects (some are unavailable until you interact with the scene in different ways), or to use objects from the list to complete the scene (eg, if you have a candle in the list, you'd drag it into the candle holder in the scene). I found this variety very enjoyable.

The level of challenge in this game was absolutely spot-on. I cannot tell you what happens when you click the "hint" button, because I did not use it - not even once. Something about this game and this story makes you want to take your time, complete all the puzzles and challenges on your own, and not rush through or get impatient. I do believe this is the first game I've ever played in which I never used the hint button; not because it was easy, but because everything followed a logical sequence. Everything made sense. And not because this is a short game; on the contrary, I would guess I spent at least eight hours all told, probably more. I did use the map very frequently, and I'm not one who normally does that. It very clearly marks areas that have actions you can complete and "teleports" you there with one click. This saved me a lot of time and also helped clue me in on what could be done next. Thus, no need for the strategy guide or help button!

I also did not skip any mini-games. They ranged from somewhat easy to fairly challenging, but never became frustrating or boring, and I was proud of myself for being able to solve every single one of them without help!

There are 40 morphing objects to find; I managed to find all but three. Not a big deal, though, as there are no "trophy rooms" keeping track of silly things like finding three objects in three seconds or completing a particular minor goal. It was fun to look for the morphing objects, but I didn't feel like I'd missed out on anything by not finding them all.

Wonderful game; I highly recommend it. Show less
