I'm beginning to think that little Jimmy is bad luck! Mom makes a quick phone call to Jimmy from a parking garage to tell him she's on her way home, but that just isn't in the cards today!

I'm beginning to think that little Jimmy is bad luck! Mom makes a quick phone call to Jimmy from a parking garage to tell him she's on her way home, but that just isn't in the cards today! In the blink of an eye, she is consumed by fog that whisks her away to the Forgotten Land, once again. Turns out that a powerful mage and alchemist, Maaron, has summoned the Chosen One and you are the lucky winner (dinners gonna be a wee bit late Jimmy) You must travel through an interdimensional corridor which links the Forgotten Lands with parallel worlds, to find the Compass of the Worlds, before the Horseman of Fire locates the compass. The Black Horseman of fire is an envoy of evil, this simply cannot happen!

Hold on to your computer chair tadpoles, this Collectors Edition is jammed pack with goodies. There are 35 Morphing Objects to find and let me tell you these morphs are tiny, and very slow to morph, and I love it! You must also locate 35 missing parts of Maarons' Magic Machine, he's supposed to be a hermit but those parts certainly made their way around the Forgotten Lands! We're not done yet, there are also 20 missing manuscript pages to find which gives you insight upon all the different creatures you may encounter from Halflings to Mermaids. There are also plenty of Achievements to make it seem like you are doing a fantastic job.

The Hidden Object Scenes are mostly interactive, progressive silhouetted shapes where you find one item that matches the silhouette and use that item in the scene to expose the next item and so forth. You're going to love the fact that most HOS have puzzles and mini games to complete as well. The Mini Games outside of the HOS were fairly easy such as arranging monks so that their hands form a closed energy chain. Another familiar favorite was rotating two circles to rotate picture tokens to the correct place, using the background images as clues.

This Collectors Edition has Wallpapers, Concept Art, Cutscenes, Music, Mini Games, Puzzles, 20 Missing Manuscripts, 35 missing Magic Machine parts, 35 Morphing Objects, Achievements, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

Based on the demo...Gorgeous game! Absolutely stunning graphics. Beautiful sounds, very faint music at times, with the songs of birds. Soothing and fitting the scenes. The morphing objects are not our only collectible, but they are the trickiest!

Based on the demo...Gorgeous game! Absolutely stunning graphics. Beautiful sounds, very faint music at times, with the songs of birds. Soothing and fitting the scenes. The morphing objects are not our only collectible, but they are the trickiest!

COLLECTIBLES: Three types! There are 35 morphing objects, "Beyond Objects," and you can set the option to show their locations. Then there are 35 parts of the "Magic Machine," which is in the hermit's backroom. Also, collect 20 manuscript pages.

HOS: Incredible! I wasn't impressed with the quality of the silhouettes, it was very hard to tell what they were. But, mostly it's a matter of finding things in a sequence to do the next thing to find the next item. There are puzzles within the HOS. You have to take your own notes for some of the HOS puzzles! That's the way it should be, not the automatically in the diary, or on a note that glues itself in place! This small detail sold me on the game!

PUZZLES: Nothing new, but nicely done, and beautifully rendered. Rotate circles to place animals in their proper habitats. Make figures all touch. Concentration.

I don't care if it's yet another "chosen one to save the world - portal - wizard (he calls himself a hermit)" game, the demo of this one is the best game I have played in months! Show less

I recommend this game!

You will explore beautiful locations like the plains, waste lands, frozen mountains and swamps in your quest.

There are collectables and morphing objects to find along the way.

Three game play modes and the hidden object scenes were interactive , not just junk scattered around.

It includes a built in strategy guide, which I feel is a must, wallpapers and concept art, cut scenes, music, mini games, puzzles, an achievement room, and also a bonus game.

I really recommend this game to everyone! Show less

This game is created by Five BN - House of 1000 Doors ,Clover Tale and Eternal Journey.

This game is cool with the most stunning cutscenes and visual ! The story take to The 4 Horsemen and there is nothing new or interesting , but how the story deliver is make the game interesting , and the game still stick with the old protagonist - the young mother and there are no jimmy , her son [except on the phone].This time you've been abducted/chosen to save Forgotten Land. Stop Fire Horsemen from conquer the parallel world.

The visual in this game is really beautiful and clear , very crisp ! The Environment sound effect feel natural and music fit the theme. I just met Gandalf-like character in this game.

The gameplay is smooth like other game developed by this developer . So far , I encountered a Silhouette Interactive HOS and I found it very entertaining with easy puzzle in it to make you busy. Yes , there are nothing new so to the puzzle , but they are quite challenging but not impossible to solve it. I used hint multiple either in HOS and Adventure because I don't see useful item and very well cluttered. They are useful Journal where you keep notes and Manuscript which will give you information of characters etc. , Task entry , hint are showing direction and will show direct on an interactive map, Inventory lock , achievement and collectible button to see your progress in the game. The have 3 modes but you can always adjust all the things even you choose any modes. As always you can change any difficulty while playing.

As for Collector's Edition , the developer offer us a guide , bonus gameplay , wallpaper,concept art , music,Manuscript and morphing objects , bonus puzzles , cutscenes , replay puzzles , and another bonus puzzle which will be unlock by seeking the morphing objects. How about that????
OPTION:
adjustable audio , widescreen support , watch credits, toggle windowed and custom cursor.

I feel the game offer a stunning cinema-like video and visuals but on the gameplay side , it feels more weak but fun . It just I don't want to stop playing , wish they could do more creative/innovative ideas on the gameplay. Show less

Everything about this game was FANTASTIC ! Its the BEST game I've played in a long, long, LONG time (and i play a lot). I really think that more games should be like this one. Please take note developers as this is a model in many aspects of a great HO adventure game.

I loved the story line. It was rather intricate but not too much so. Easy to follow but not boring nor the same old, same old, hum drum tale. This story is fun to follow and makes you want to keep playing.

Plenty of interesting and likable characters with personality and humor whose dialogs were engaging. Enjoyed them all.
Their costumes, their voices, everything was beautifully synched.

Music and sound effects were perfect to maintain the ambiance of each scene. It was full of suspense.
The graphics and artwork were super, top notch with lots of colors, lush scenery, very varied and original decors. It was fun to discover each new scene (and there were an abundance of them). not a boring moment from start to finish. Really well thought out from beginning to end.

The games were varied, different, interesting and colorful. Not too hard but were challenging nevertheless. Instructions were clear and concise. I did not skip a single one, they were neither frustrating nor confusing.
The map was perfect in every way. It was the first time i enjoyed a map which was so well designed. It gave you all the information in a very simple but fully comprehensive format. One could move easily throughout the game with a very clear vision of what still needed to be done. Even the morphing objects were indicated so that if you missed some, you could, at any time during the game, go back and search. This game should get the first prize for having a perfect map. All to often the maps are quite limited and difficult to follow.

The hidden object games were not very numerous but they were great. I am not a big fan of the more recent "silhouette" style. I happen to much prefer the lists. But even so, they were well enough done that one did not get frustrated trying to figure out what the silhouette represented. I read a review that said there was an alternative to the HOGs, if that is the case, it was not clearly indicated and i missed that option.

Sorry that my review is so long, but its been such a long time since BFG has given us such an enjoyable game I wanted to give some feedback on my appreciation. I hope that in the future we see many more games of this quality. A BIG THANK YOU to the developers too for taking the time and trouble to give us some real QUALITY game play.
I'll be waiting with impatience for more from this developer. Show less

I recommend this game!

Wow, where to begin. There is just so much to say. There is:

* Voiceovers;

* 20 Achievements;
* Diary;
* Interactive map;
* Find 35 parts to the magic machine (game only);
* Find 35 morphing objects (game only);
* Find 20 manuscripts (game only);
* Good long Bonus game.

When I first saw the introduction I was a bit concerned with the graphics, but once the game started it was all perfect. Everywhere is quite cluttered, so you do have to look carefully. There is plenty of colour is some scenes and underground it is more darker and grayer. However, it is very easy to move around and see everywhere that you need to investigate.

Sound and music is very good and I kept it loud the whole time.

The hidden object games are silhouette and interactive. Find one item to use to find another item, etc. There was no deviation from this. There were even little mini-games in them as well, which were good fun. They don't take more than a few minutes each to do and there weren't a huge amount of them. This is more of an adventure game than a hidden object game.

The mini-games I enjoyed. I didn't see anything new that I hadn't played before - like sliding tiles, moving items to their colour, etc. These are fairly easy to do and don't take long.

There are 35 parts to the magic machine to find together with 35 morphing objects. A hand does come over them in the scenes just in case you are worried about missing any. The interactive map also shows icons that they are there to find as well. So if you move on and forget about them or want to do them later, then you have the option to do them all at once. Some were very well hidden and I'm glad a hand did come over them. I found them all except for one morphing object in the cave. I just couldn't find it. In the end I had a look in the Strategy Guide but when I went to grab the morphing object, it wasn't there! Oh well, never mind I didn't get the achievement for that one.

This really is a huge game with lots of locations, so you will probably be using the interactive map a lot. I normally don't use it, but towards the end of the game I was getting a bit tired trying to remember where tasks I needed to do were, so I started using it.

In the Bonus you play Falnor the dwarf and how you meet up with Mom to help her. You do meet him in the main game and he teams up with you in part of the game.

I somehow managed to get 14 of the achievements - so about average. I'm sure there will be fishies out there who will do a lot better than that.

All up the game and bonus took me about 10 hours. It really is worth its weight in gold. You can tell the developers took a long time to make this game and a lot of thought and effort has been taken. Well done developers.

So, if you like a great story, wonderful graphics and feel like an adventure, this game is definitely for you. Happy playing. Show less

I recommend this game!

I am totally impressed with how fantastic and realistic this adventure played out. I believe this is the best HOPA Bigfish has offered this year thus far. You are summoned to the Lost Lands by the powerful mage named Maaron, member of the ancient Order of The Keepers, protecting Forgotten Lands from any possible threat. Maaron has chosen you as the person, able to defeat the Four Horsemen, deadly creatures, coming to the Lost Lands from the edge of chaos. One of them spreads fire around him, other – spreads ice, third – darkness and fourth – death. In the Sphere of Fire you saw possible future – Lost Lands completely burned and destroyed! You MUST find a way to defeat the horsemen and prevent such destiny. I plunged into this engrossing macrocosm adventure; easy to see why it was chosen for Editor's Choice. I recommend the first game as well, released this time last year. Show less
